Will a letter make them angrier?

Sometimes briefly, and then it usually stops, because the behavior depended on there being no record. A calm, specific attorney letter creates the record and raises the cost of continuing.

Can I get an order of protection from this?

No. Orders of protection come from Family Court or Criminal Court. If your situation calls for one, the intake says so and points you there; the letter is for conduct that is intrusive and persistent but not dangerous.

The person is a neighbor. Does that change anything?

Neighbor matters often add trespass and nuisance elements and sometimes a co-op board or management company that should receive a copy. The intake asks, and the letter is drafted accordingly.

What if they keep going after the letter?

You will have a dated demand, proof of delivery, and their continued conduct in writing, which is exactly what a court or the police want to see. The response memo after your window closes maps the next step.
