Reid is serving a life sentence at a maximum-security federal prison in Florence, Colo., after a 2001 attempt to blow up a Paris-Miami flight. He was subdued by passengers and crew as he attempted to ignite his sneakers.
The Mirror did not say when the letters were written or to whom they were sent, although Reid addresses his father, Robin, in some passages.
He asks his father whether he has been praying five times a day, and says his aunt could not have reached heaven if she died while believing in Christianity.
"What you wrote about Aunt Lynn being in a better place, you should know that while Allah is merciful and forgiving, this applies only to those who upheld His rights, at least at a basic level," the newspaper quotes him as writing.
The Mirror did not disclose how it obtained the letters, which came with an undated photograph of Reid sitting on a cot in a white prison uniform.
