I'm guessing a lot of these letters come from lawyers who are friends/relatives of the people who are pissed off.  The lawyers are writing as a favor.  The whole point of having the lawyer write on letterhead is to intimidate in a way non-lawyers cannot.  I get these kind of requests from friends and relatives fairly often.  My firm prohibits me from doing this (because of possible malpractice and conflicts issues), so I usually turn them down.  [/quote]

It has been my impression that many of the letters are written as a favor. They seem to expect that at the first sign of legal letterhead I will be dancing to whatever tune they are calling. When that doesn't happen, I generally never hear from them again.  I am also very surprised that people will immediately go the route of involving an attorney. I am very accessible and willing to discuss potentially defamatory posts in a reasonable and civil manner. But, the normal tone of these letters just makes me irritable. They end up being counterproductive.
