One of the most important elements in the "Saw" franchise is the letter that
Detective Hoffman leaves Amanda during the events of "Saw III"/"Saw IV", which,
in addition to revealing that Amanda was involved in Gideon's death, changed the
course and fate of the characters throughout the story. After this, all fans
wondered: Did John know about this letter? Was there an original letter? Thanks
to a discarded prop from the third film in the series, we can answer our
questions.
"Saw III" original letter to Amanda.
My dear Amanda -
The enclosed is for you... to ease the waves in the sea you must
navigate. Talk with Anthony McDonald at the Branch. He will take care of
all.
Do not look back, only ahead. You have arrived at the door - walk
through. Don't look back. You are strong and well. I know you think you
have nothing to teach. We teach what we need to learn... that is
enough.
May I always breathe life into your soul... as you have done to mine.
With love and hope
I believe in you-
John.
