Keep the letter short and sweet give them a time frame to take it down like ten days.Get earplugs, thicker skin, and don't engage in discussions, never ever respond in anger, it will escalate. 

Generally the stories of people scaling like that are either liars or engaging in some extremely risky strategies that can just as easily backfire.
