They are asking for something called "Copy of Embassy’s letter of institution" from my wife for the character certificate. What is that?!

Hello,
My wife is in the process of trying to attain a police certificate (aka character clearance certificate) from Pakistan (in Karachi). Before they will issue the certificate, the police is asking for a bunch of documents. Among those, they are asking for a "Copy of Embassy’s letter of institution". What the heck is this? This is the first time I am hearing about this from anyone that got a police certificate in Pakistan.
From what my wife is telling me, the police is asking for a letter from the American embassy affirming the need for the police certificate and explaining why it is wanted. However, I cannot imagine the US embassy issuing such a letter seeing as they won't even be notified of the visa process until after the NVC sends them our application which won't happen until NVC receives the police certificate.
Anyone have any idea what this letter is? Will there be some sort of letter that comes with the DS-230 package that I can show them? I haven't received the package yet -- I'm just having my wife gather the documents to cut down on the time once we officially receive the request to send them in.
Thanks!
