My assumption is that Eustrin suspects Aram of intercepting their communications. Magical communications apparently being the standard for head of states to communicate, its the first thing Aram would try intercept in order to listen in ( and we know magical communications can be intercepted ). Actual ambassadors would be too easy to spot. A letter can be smuggled without notice, but they kept the language as harsh as possible so that if it is intercepted it would not raise the suspicion of Aram ( I doubt Aram wants Eustrin to be friendly with us )..

So the letter is a test to see if they can communicate with the Doom King under the nose of Aram. If they receive a response without incident, it would prove that this method is fairly secure and I suspect they might be more open from then on. That's why I chose to send them a letter.
