First of all, it's best not to spam letters. The folks who screen submissions can usually spot them.

Second, it's best to make a topical response to something that has already run in the paper, so they know you actually read that paper.

Third, it's best to keep the letter under 200 words if you want it published.

And fourth, papers frown upon seeing a letter they have published in other publications. They want first run exclusivity for a letter, and that's why I don't post a letter to the editor on FR until after it's run in the paper.
