Bevan, You might be able to. The experiances we had was 1) we travelled through 21 african countries, we only required a letter of introduction once, that was for Ethiopian Visa when applying in Khartoum (we met other travellers coming north who required one when applying for a Sudan visa in Addis. Else where wasn't needed (ie applying for a sudan visa in Chad, applying for an Ethiopian visa in Kenya - just depends on the consulate).
2)When we did get one, it was specific, ie from the vice consulate (named) in Khatoum, to the vice consulate (named) of the Ethiopian consulate in Khartoum, so no good for else where even if copied (they keep the letter you hand over). I would suggest dealing with it when it happens. You might not need one. Things change. It seems to be at the descretion of the consulate. Just be aware of it.
