I have been reading a very rich and colourful book called "A Little History of the World" by E.H. Gombrich. In it, I came across what must be the shortest letter in history. It is a letter written by Julius Caesar to report back to Rome after he has left a few days earlier for a military campaign. In it he wrote three latin words: veni, vidi, vici - meaning 'I came, I saw, I conquered.'
