In the books Ramsay sends to the letter and there really isn't anything to indicate LF was involved.
In the show, the letter was clearly delivered to Castle Black by a Bolton courier/soldier. Ramsay wants his bride back. I'd be highly confident Ramsay wrote the letter.
I agree that he probably wrote it. I also think it was a mistake to threaten the wildlings.
Sure but I doubt that Ramsay thinks for a moment it is a mistake. The Northern houses hate the wildlings, so Ramsay is confident that he has common cause with the North to slaughter them. Further, Stannis easily rolled Mance's army with a much smaller force and in turn, Ramsay rolled what was left of Stannis without breaking a sweat. All considered, I don't think he fears the wildlings in the least.
Also, the show character Ramsay is wild and impulsive and there have been several exchanges between Roose and Ramsay that specifically served the purpose of the father trying to guide the son away from his "mad dog" antics. Yet Ramsay still murdered his father without hesitation and in the light of day with zero concern of backlash.
I think it all starts to set up nicely. An over confident Ramsay is lured out from the walls of Winterfell to engage Jon, Tormund, and the wildling army, only to find himself in the cross hairs of the Knights of the Vale, operating at 100%, all the while other houses flip against the Boltons, and Ramsay's force gets decimated. Ramsay is going down. IMO.
