DEF

A note that is addressed by the diplomatic envoys of several States to the same government concerning a matter about which their governments have agreed to make a joint representation. The participating envoys may all sign one document, or may send separate documents provided the text is the same in all of them. It is in fact a joint representation on the part of the Chiefs of Mission concerned and is used only under exceptional circumstances as it is sometimes regarded as offensive by the Foreign Office addressed.
