If you do not trust the person involved, you are crazy to send him a
copy of
your passport. This is a common sense. This policy as it obviously
works..
what is really your issue ?
Do we really need a theoretical approach that only can bring us less functionality ? I do not think so.
Like what David pointed out, it may be more of a problem when it is not clearly stated that the person receiving the letter is not a WMF staff or officially authorised personnel. People *may *think that they are dealing with official personnel but when they find out that they aren't, it may cause dispute. But anyway there isn't much information in this thread to tell.
