'''Mickey's Letter''' could refer to multiple different letters King Mickey has written over the course of the Kingdom Hearts series. For example, the letter at the beginning of Kingdom Hearts, adressed to Donald, or the letter recieved in a bottle at the end of Kingdom Hearts II could be referred to as Mickey's Letter. Usually, his letter is sealed by a green Hidden Mickey symbol.

'''Mickey's Letters''' refer to the three letters [[King Mickey]] has written over the course of the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series. The first letter was left by King Mickey on his throne for [[Donald Duck]], before he left to seek out the [[Keyblade]]. The second letter was carried by [[Pluto]] as he led Sora, Donald, and [[Goofy]] from the [[End of the World]] to [[Castle Oblivion]], and the third letter was sent by Mickey to Sora and [[Riku]] to explain the situation behind [[Roxas]], [[Axel]], [[Xion]], [[Naminé]], [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]], and summon them for a [[Mark of Mastery exam]]. Each letter was sealed with a green Mickey Head.

Hate to leave you, but I have to check into this.
As the king, I have a favor to ask you and Goofy...
There is someone out there with a Key—the Key to our survival. I need you and Goofy to find him and stick with him! Got it?
Without that key, we're doomed!
So go to Traverse Town and find Leon...

Contents[edit]

I wanted to tell you right away,
About memories from the past that sleep within you,
And about the pieces that will tie you to your future.
Sora, Riku, Kairi,
the truth behind the Keyblade,
has found its way through so many people,
and now I know that it rests in your hearts.
Sora,
you are who you are because of those people, but they're hurting,
and you're the only one who can end their sadness. They need you.
It's possible that all your journeys so far,
have been preparing you for this great new task that's waiting for you.
I should have known there were no coincidences— only links in a much larger chain of events.
And now the door to your next journey is ready to be opened.
-Mickey[2]
