You are to create a program which will read in text from a file using the sample code below. The name of the text file will be “words.txt” and must be placed in the same place as your code.


myfile = open("words.txt", "r") # open file in read mode
fullTextFile = myfile.read() # read in the whole file
myfile.close() # close the file

# You now can use the variable fullTextFile as a string!

Once the text has been written in you must output the number of times each letter appears. It should be able to handle letters in a different case.
