I think it would be unfair and very harsh to decline the interview. You may definitely point out their errors so they do not make the same error.

My name is Violet Barnes. I promise to share my testimony to the world once my husband returns back to me, and today with all due respect I want to say a very big thanks to DR PETER for the wonderful work he did for me in helping me to save my marriage, my husband ask for a divorce letter because of the little misunderstanding we had in the past few month, And i never wanted this because I love my husband so much and all our investment was a joint business and I don't want to be far away from my family and my two lovely kids.

Depends on the level of " unprofessionalism" and whether a good communication skills is a key criteria for the post.

Decline is definite as said in question. In that case my choice is to decline without mentioning the mistake. If choice existed then personally I would still conduct interview as you don't judge a person only on spellings!

If the candidate cannot spend the time or does not have the ability to write a well thought out and well spelt response, he/she should be advised the errors. This will help them improve their skills and save you time and effort in following up on someone who is unlikely to get to another stage.

Languages is only the mean of communication, so i think we should ignore these mistakes or errors, and call him/her for interview to make more  accurate judgement about his/her skills, experience, knowldge of work, etc.

i do wok in KSA, and i observed that language is not big issue even for key post.
