Letter frequency analysis PLEASE HELP!!

I'm having trouble figuring out how to generate a histogram that shows the frequency of the letters used in the English language as well as a separate code that does the same thing but based on the frequency of any given data so I can input different data into it and then compare the two histograms. I don't really have any idea how to do any of that, so if someone can please show me how to do this as soon as possible as I need it for my report I would be VERY THANKFUL!

What have you tried so far? Did you develop any code, pseudocode, algorithm or flow chart already?
Otherwise, what's in it for us?

Step 1: collect your input
Step 2: remove non-letters from the input
Step 3: histogram() and record the handle of the histogram produced
Step 4: access the Values property of the histogram to get the counts
Step 5: define what it means to compare histograms
