The '''Cortana Letters''' are a series of cryptic emails from "cortana@bungie.com", sent to a very prominent ''[[Marathon]]'' [http://marathon.bungie.org/ site] before the release of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. At the time, it was not known who [[Cortana]] was, and her emails offered a small glimpse of the ''[[Halo]]~~Trilogy~~'' plot. The letters were supposedly authored by the former [[Bungie]] employee [[Nathan Bitner]].
