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]].

It should be noted that the Cortana Letters were sent while the game was still in production, and Cortana is greatly out of character. As such, these letters may currently offer little insight into the plot. Although Cortana does reference the first letter in ''[[Halo 3]]'', Bungie has said the material of the letters is only to be considered canon when used in current ''Halo'' material.<ref> Another thing to point out is that the '''Cortana Letters'''  are the least well known of Halo promotional material.[http://halosm.bungie.org/story/staten083106.html"''Alas, I'd have to say that, as of now, the only canonized parts of the letters are the fragments we pulled for use in the announcement trailer.''"]</ref>
