Lost Horizon (Mr Bari) could arrange LOI for you within 24 hrs.He charges 50$ for it.

There are a number of tour operators who will send you loi for getting your visa and they would charge you some money for this but you won't have to buy their trip. Contact a local tour operator and they will send it for some money.

2

Be careful by some unregistered/fake tour operators who 'll send you LOI but the Pakistani high commissions/embassies will not accept their letter of invitation because unregistered & cheat.

Lost Horizon.Concordia Expeditions.Nanga Parbat adventure,Travel Waljis & Nazir Sabir Expeditions re the reliable ones.

I find this pretty annoying ; and am sure it turns off a lot of people; it seems just an other scam to get some more money from the travelers; nowhere else is this required. ! $50.00 for 2 minutes work??? almost considering spending my month somewhere else

Indeed it is annoying. It used to be very easy to get Pakistan visa and there were no such requirements like this letter thing.

5

Last year, it was 30$ for 2 minutes work.It might increase next year if the LOI requirement still in place.

6

This does not apply any more. I have just had an email from one of the companies on your list and they say that since October they can only issue Letters of Introduction from someone who books a guided tour. So that is the only way to get to Pakistan now.

Its getting even more cult then.

Lost Horizon send a LOI at 50$. As mention above many tour operators names, drop a line to any of above tour operators in detail. Hepefully they will agree to send you LOI.
