If a cell number is all I have & my message requires immediate attention, I will send a letter by text. If you want something to stop immediately, you get your message to the person as quickly as possible, however you can. We no longer have the option to look up names & addresses in phone book.

Requires immediate attention which the other side knows well, or must be sent because my client is in a panic because the facts make them look terrible? Very different standards.

Both could be true. Usual goal of defamation cease & desist letter is to get person to shut up. Speakers may know they're harming the victim by speaking the truth, & victim might be panicking about loss of reputation. Not sure what you mean by "standards" here. Motivation?

Good point. A name and phone number is quite a lot for finding someone, though they’d probably have to outsource it from California because of privacy laws? Which is pretty simple, though maybe less so for an officer of the court (I have no idea)?

Maybe. But here you’re not stopping anything. The thing that you would like to have stopped has already occurred, and has literally been published in the newspaper. Meritless thuggery indeed.
