Do you think the letter to the Night's Watch from Ramsey Bolton demanding they return Sansa was really from Ramsey? It didn't seem right to me when they read the letter for a couple of reasons. First, is because Ramsey never uses straight up threatening language. He is always very convoluted and deceitful about his intentions. Look at what he did to Osha. He was very happy to play the game with her while he had full intentions of killing her. He did the same thing to Walda Frey. He even asked if he could hold the baby first. Its not his style to come right out and say I will flay you, or I will scoop your eyes out with a spoon.
The second thing is I think Ramsey would have sent a body part with his letter to prove he had Rickon. Maybe a finger of Rickons, or one of Shaggydog's ears, or even Osha's head....something like that. Not just a letter with a bunch of demented threats. My guess it that the letter was sent by Umber to draw out John Snow and his wildling army. Then Umbers can march with Ramsey to meet them and turn on the Bolton army in the field. I thought it could also be Littlefinger doing the same thing, but that seems much too simple a ploy for him.
