Foreign universities won't have the letter of recommendation to be on the official letterhead. Most of the universities require this letter to be on the official letterhead. In case of a professional  recommendation letter there should be a letterhead of the company.  Students should be aware of this fact that sometimes professors or the recommender  change the organization in that scenario it can create a problem for you.  so that recommender has to be from the past organisation of the past institution where you have gained your  experience. One thing important to remember in the latter case is that the letterhead should be of the company the recommender is working in. This usually creates a problem if your recommender has moved on to another organization. Hence, the student must know how to choose the right recommender.
