Written well, but to me it just seems a little off. Faramir (or, of you intended this letter to be at another time, another captain) would have simply ambushed the regiment. The distance between Henneth Annûn and the City was to great to ask for orders- rather their standing order was harass any of Sauron’s forces that entered Ithilien. They would not consult Denethor, IMO. If anything, either Faramir would have made the decision, or (as in the book) they would be seemingly sent out by Denethor with the purpose of attacking them. They were not scouts, but forayers.
