There's no real reason to do anything in response to anything but contact from a lawyer. We've had a domain that someone has contacted us on 3 different times over the years saying they were getting their lawyers ready - hoping such a threat would just make us automatically give up the domain. Years later, not a damn thing has happened.
Generally if a lawyer contacts you, the best thing to do is just give the domain up at that point. If it was one you paid a bunch of money for or have a site on and would really like to keep it, then consider fighting it, but otherwise you lose reg fees on a domain and that's it - no big deal and better than doing stupid shit like trying to sell it to them and have them in response not only get the domain from you but sue you for trademark infringement (since you provided them a case for bad faith registration) and their lawyer's fees.
