French term or phrase: Lettre de temoignage de la situation d'insecurite
Hi all,

I am translating a letter for a solicitor based in Cameroon and this is the title of the letter and I am unsure how to translate la situation d'insecurite de qqn.
The letter is about someone leaving the country.
I have a Testimonial Letter regarding the situation of insecurity/insecure situation of...
However, I really feel this does not make much sense but I am struggling to think of what else this could mean.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

confirmation of unsafe status


Explanation:
I'm assuming this is an asylum application, and the letter confirms that the person's life is in danger - if not, ignore my answer.

I don't think you need to translate "lettre de", as it's obviously a letter.
