I know that he is a pain in the tail, but he is our brother and we need to be tallerant of him. Do not kill him please.

Your brother,

Leo

Deer Splinter,

Thanx for not lettin Raphy and leo kill me today! They is always tryin to do that you know but as your're so bussy, you may not notice. Anyways, they is I mean are evil and want your baby boy ded! Don't not believe them when they say they are playing. I know you are too smart to beliebe them, and that you love me so that you will not let them kill me cause I'm your baby boy and you will not let them kill me, right?

Even tho I putted the bugs in Raphy's bed and tole Leo that his tail was growing and that ment that he was gonna be a rat like you, and who knew he would not wanna be a rat liek you? I would LOVELOVELOVE to be a rat like you Splinter, you are so wise and kind! Anyways you will not let them kill me right? I love you.

Lots of love,

Mikey

(your baby)

Dear mistery pepole,

My name is Hamato Donatello and I want to thank you for losing the green ooze stuff that mutated us from regular old boring pet turtles into awesome fantastic mutated turtles! Thanks to you I can read and write and build stuff and get mad at my brothers. Is that naturel?

Anyways, my brothers and me i mean I know that we owe you so much! As of this letter we are six years old, but Master Splinter says that we are still too young to be alone but yet he makes us stay in the lair and "protect" each other...

Protect from what? He never says! I love Sensei very much, but I think he's holding out on us!

Anyways again... Thanks for the everything! P.S maybe you could lose some more green ooze stuff so I can study it and maybe make an impruvement on my one brother- he is always breaking stuff and getting in trouble, I think some more time in the ooze will fix him.

Sincerely,

Hamato Donatello (we writes our last name first 'cause it's the proper Japanese way even though we are not Japanese)
