Doubtless, Ezekiel got to hear the words of this letter. Also, he may have heard the reading of the book that Jeremiah later sent foretelling the downfall of Babylon.(Read Jeremiah 29, and 51:59-64.) If Jeremiah could send letters to Babylonia, there is reason to believe that Ezekiel could do so to Jerusalem. | |

You haven't presented any evidence of him making pronouncements in Jerusalem. As I said, this feels like a good general introduction to Jeremiah and Ezekiel, but after the first line it doesn't clearly engage with the question. | |

Whilst in Jerusalem Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and other prophets made pronouncements about the impending calamity on Jerusalem and Judah, thus warning the Prince ( King Zedekiah) and the Israelites. Ezekiel was among the captives taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar. He prophesied to the Jews living by the river Chebar, which some modern scholars believe to be one of the great Babylonian canals. The OP wrongly assumes that the Prophet had to send his message to those who were in Jerusalem. | |
