I’ve got a potential employer who I’m trying to strong arm into giving me an offer letter by telling them this other company also wants me. Is it illegal if I create a fake document to show them?

Idk why people won't call this "fraud" which is illegal. You aren't allowed to just make up documentation of something that isn't real, and use it to lie to people, especially when money is involved.

Does that mean you shouldn't do it? Idk/IDC tbh

What sort of consequences would you face? Idk, depends what legal jurisdiction you're in, but it's gonna be a problem in most of them

Would this even get prosecuted? Probably not criminally but idk, you're probably liable for a civil suit if the company has all their shit in order and thought they could get damages from you.
