hi,
sorry my English is just 3rd language, but I hope wont be hard to understand
And sorry if wrong forum, have no clue where would be better to post it.
"We can confirm it is entirely possible for Miss XX to have transferred £60,000.00 from her personal bank account as her personal injury claim settled in excees of this amount."
My family member is dealing with Miss XX - she came back from UK to her country quite rich and managed to gave just one proof from solicitor that she had some accident and get money from it. So my question does that letter seems ok? Why no "we can confirm" but "entirely possible"? My family member asks me how it usually going with injury money? What family member should ask her? bank statements? Insurance company letter?

I have to ask why you're interested? It doesn't seem to be anything to do with you.0

Because very close family member works in a local council and need to deal with her, but doesnt speak English and asked my help. I saw that letter which seems dodgy for me, but maybe I am wrong I just wanted to ask if it sounds as a normal letter? 0

Do you mean you have a close family member who works for a UK council who doesn't speak English?
Are the council aware she is showing family members private correspondence?Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

No family member works in our country (far far away from UK) local council and one lady came back from UK with that letter. I saw letter without names or reference numbers, just plain text 
Ok, can you know answer my question, please? In native English "entirely possible = we can confirm"? Because with my very bad English it seems something wrong. 3 paragraphs text, but nothing with "we can confirm Miss XX get that money blablabla" so I think I need to tell my family member to ask something more, eg bank statements maybe? but if this letter seems legal, so ok. 0 -
So basically you're asking whether a woman could have received £60,000 in personal injury claim rather than her simply having money and hiding it?
It is possible she could have had that much money from compensation but it would be a severe injury to get that much. Is the letter directly from the solicitor showing she was paid that for an injury or is it from a third party saying they have seen this letter and they confirm it was from an injury (i.e. you didn't see a letter proving she was awarded that money)?Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:

Since the letter is from a solicitor he cannot confirm the source of the money she transferred from her bank account.
He can only confirm that she did receive a sum of money greater than that amount so it could have been from that money.
But them it could have been from somewhere else.0 -

how I understant that lady now is in wheelchair but not sure if because of that accident and she needs to declare from where she has such a huge amount and the only one paper she has is that letter. In our country seems strange she cant show some better proof with full amount she get, but just "possible entirely". She said it is confidence agreement so cant tell full amount and for all papers she asks solicitors she needs to pay, so she cant show anything else. But if in UK its normal I just tell it is everything OK. Just my family member never deal before with letters from Uk...0 -

question is - does this sentence from letter ( "We can confirm it is entirely possible for Miss XX to have transferred £60,000.00 from her personal bank account as her personal injury claim settled in excees of this amount.") is the legal proof from solicitor she get money?
Does "entirely possible" is the same "we confirm she get x amount". Google translate says "entirely possible" is something maybe or maybe not happened
How it should be in solicitor official letter? Why it is so huge a secret if asks local authorities? She hides full amount, strange solicitor letter etc. Family member uses Google translate so do I, but not native, so hard to understand. And in our country everything from insurance companies goes to bank account, so all proof you can see on statements, but here seems that lady cant anything to show, says all money keeps solicitor and just give her how she needs - totally impossible in our country. But how is in UK? legal?
I just care about family member, he has such a stressful case with that lady and just asked me advice how it looks.0 -
