This does not read like a lawyer letter. Something is off…

  There's a bit of a tradition of this sort of thing. The classic is this one, of course: https://news.lettersofnote.com/p/very-truly-yours https://news.lettersofnote.com/p/very-truly-yours But there are many more; some more modern examples: https://abovethelaw.com/2014/07/the-greatest-letter-ever-the-atl-lawyer-letter-bracket-day-1/ https://abovethelaw.com/2014/07/the-greatest-letter-ever-the... It's... one way to do things; most lawyers don't write letters like this, but it's hardly unprecedented.

    The first link’s response was written by a baseball team. (Edit: my mistake their counsel!) And the first example in the second link, quote ‘This one is kind of fudging the title of “lawyer letter” since the bar’s owner wrote the letter pro se.’

      Wait, is your contention that a baseball stadium's general counsel should be held to a different standard than other lawyers? Why? What do you think is 'off' here? Like, that would appear to be a real lawyer who is a partner is a real law firm.
