My ’opinion’ or, if I may call it so, research begins with a few introductory remarks. It continues with a second section, where the reader may notice a kind of dialogue between APIA and First Investment Bank AD; the two entities discussed whether the Romanian Supreme Court should be asked a question: is the letter of credit an enforceable legal instrument? The third section points out that a lower Romanian court decided that the High Court must intervene, and answer said question. In the fourth section, I try to establish if art. 120 of the Romanian Government’s Ordinance no. 99/2006 applies to a letter of credit. In the fifth one, I highlight that art. 120 of Ordinance no. 99/2006 may be applied to a letter of credit, but only if the underlying contract is a credit contract. The sixth section shows what Romania’s Supreme Court decided, and ends with some food for the thought.

Key words: letter of credit, enforceable instrument, underlying contract, credit contract.
