A sworn notarized statement is hearsay. If the other side objects the judge should not accept the letter.
You can make a motion to allow telephone testimony, but if the other side objects the should not permit it.

Not properly, no. Its hearsay. You need to bring the witness to testify in court as a general rule.

The document is hearsay evidence and not admissible if there is an objection.
