Answer:
A non-hydrocarbon form of life may possibly be like the one described by Skander in the letter. A being that could survive 250°C and call such a climate pleasant. As their body temperature is excessively high, they cannot hold paper without damaging them and use thin metal sheets to write on.

If there is no hydrocarbon in this planet, life could not exist as there is a big change in the climatic condition as there is a drastic change in the temperature.
EXPLANATION:
- Carbon has a natural tendency to form rings and long chains that act as the basis of organic compounds. Carbon produced from the stars naturally bond with nitrogen and oxygen which is abundant in the universe. Carbon form complex chains in the form of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
- When such compound reach cooler regions in space, they naturally bond with the available hydrogen in the space to form an organic compound. The organic types in stellar envelopes are very hot and they are naturally cooled by hydrogen present in the space, thereby giving a sustainable environment for life to exist.
