The letter was dated Feb. 23, 1989, from the Yankees' office in Tampa, Florida, and addressed to the Trump Organization in New York.

"Saw you on Morton Downey the other night," the letter read. "He is a friend, and I watch his show regularly.

Trump and Steinbrenner had a close relationship when "the Boss" died in 2010. Trump remembered Steinbrenner fondly.

Trump added, "He had such a big heart, was someone who'd take care of people. He had a strong heart. I always said, George will never really be appreciated 'til we no longer have him."
