Sorry to bring back an old topic but I just ran across this post from Belle, nice catch. This is precisely the type hint GRRM gives that the letter actually comes from Stannis or someone in Stannis' camp. Someone who heard Theon's statement, not Ramsey/Roose. Nice Catch
I just read that the other day and I think it is pretty conclusive evidence that Stannis wrote that letter.
However, what is it supposed to accomplish? To get Jon to send down reinforcements? It may be intended to do that, considering Theon told Stannis about how the only group of Stannis supporters between him and are full of green boys and old men, but there is no way that Jon would be able to get Nights watch/The Free People down in time to assist Stannis in the coming battle.

I was very confused by the Pink Letter. My first reaction was to take it at face value and believe that Stannis was dead, but after I reread it and thought about it, I realized that we never saw any battle in any of the POVs (one of which was in Stannis's camp). I think the Theon connection is a great find. I'm not quite sure what it hopes to accomplish, though. I really hope Stannis isn't dead yet, because that would be too depressing to see Stannis and Jon killed one after the other.

This is what tells me it is not Stannis. Firstly, it just isn't in Stannis' character to use deception to get Jon to bring an army. He would order Jon to bring down an army.
Secondly, part of Stannis' plan was to unite the northmen against Bolton. And he couldn't do this with a Wildling army, which is why he took the route that he did.
So, that kind of eliminates Theon, because he is in chains.
