How to identify a LBC?

Hi all,
I've been reading the forum (thanks everyone!) but one thing I'm not clear on is how do I identify a Letter Before Claim? I have received a letter apparently from Gladstones solicitors but the content of the letter appears to be very much a debt recovery letter and mentions DRP.
How can I be sure it's not a LBC that I should respond to?
Thanks for your help.

If it’s saying to pay a debt collecto4, it’s been written by a debt collector
In general anything stating it will result in court without further notice is a letter before claim.0
