The following is a text of a letter, as reported by Bukhari in his Sahih...
"From Mohammed, the Prophet of God, to Heraclius, King of the Romans: Peace be on him who follows the true faith; I summon you to embrace Islam. You will be saved if you become a Muslim. Become a Muslim and God will double your reward. If you refuse you will be responsible for the sins of the infidels. Believers in the holy scriptures! Come let us all unite to worship no one but God, and associate no one else with Him, and no mortal should be worshipped. If they refuse, bear witness that I am a Muslim."
