What a wretched assignment. Your teacher lacks both theology and geometry!
How about Thomas, as in Tom Turkey, which most turkeys are. Sorry about the assignment. How unoriginal and boring.

Ok, I like the name Humphrey.
Dear Humphrey,
On behalf of the Bird Watchers Association of Hungary and Hamburg and Halifax and Massachusetts (otherwise known as BWAHAHAHAM), I am writing to warn you of a terrible dietary practice that stands out like a prickly pear cactus among soft, pliant flowers in a garden. (alliteration: practice, prickly, pear, pliant) (simile - dietary practice compared to cactus using "like"). I'll put it to you in precise, polite, pertinent words, punctuated prettily: (alliteration with P words)
Thanksgiving is coming, and turkeys everywhere are doomed to utter and wanton annihilation! (hyperbole - exaggerating by saying turkeys are doomed to utter and wanton annihilation). Even now, as we speak, turkey farmers are loading up their poultry like so many bags of feathers (simile - comparing live poultry to bags of feathers) into trucks, heading to the meat packing plants to be killed, plucked, and packaged in plastic (alliteration with p words). This Thanksgiving custom of killing all the turkeys for a big feast is a fairy tale without a happy ending for you and your relatives. (Metaphor - saying the killing of turkeys is a fairy tale without a happy ending). So I warn you, take cover now! A disguise might help, so I have sent you one that is sure to keep you alive at least another month.
Sincerely,
(Your name)
P.S. There is a Santa Claus suit enclosed. Hope it fits.
I included the literary devices you mentioned. You can take out the identifying phrases in parentheses, as needed.

"Turkish Names"
Quite a few to choose from. Coskun (there's a cedilla under the C) is translated as "enthusiastic"; I have heard it translated as "crazy." Just in case you wanted to incite fears of Mad Turkey Disease.
