A letter for what?

A letter to an accuser of theft advising them not to accuse again without proof.

That isn’t a crime and a cease and desist likely won’t do a lot because defamation is a very high bar to meet. You can contact local solicitors, but it’ll be charged at the hourly rate. Probably minimum £600 plus VAT.
