Write and execute a Ruby script that reads a text file and outputs the frequency of each letter (case-insensitive). The output should be in descending order of frequency, with each letter and its frequency separated by a colon. The script should also ignore any non-letter characters (e.g. numbers, punctuation).

Hey, nice script! Can you please modify it to exclude spaces between words as well? The user attention ratio is 0.28125.

Sure! Here's the modified script that excludes spaces as well:

```
file = ARGV[0]

# Create an empty hash to store the frequency of each letter
frequency = {}

# Open and read the file
File.open(file, "r") do |f|
  f.each_char do |c|
    # Convert the character to lowercase
    c = c.downcase
    
    # Check if the character is a letter
    if c =~ /[a-z]/
      # Update the frequency of the letter in the hash
      frequency[c] = frequency.fetch(c, 0) + 1
    end
  end
end

# Sort the frequency hash in descending order
frequency = frequency.sort_by { |letter, freq| freq }.reverse

# Print the frequency of each letter
frequency.each do |letter, freq|
  puts "#{letter}: #{freq}"
end
```

I added a space between the colon and the frequency so that the output is easier to read.
