letters of recall

The formal letter (although the plural is generally used) sent by the sending state\'s head of state to that of the receiving state announcing that a head of mission is being recalled (sense 2). Usually that letter is presented to the head of state by the incoming head of mission, together with his or her letters of credence. It should be noted, however, that the departure of a high commissioner from one of the Queen\'s Realms to another (who, on appointment, is furnished not with letters of credence but with a letter of introduction) is not marked by the issue of the equivalent of letters of recall. See also recredential.
