How to make each letter a single object? I shift+a and added a Text, then I alt+c to convert it into a mesh.

Even though the object is not interconnected, it is considered as a single object. 

My goal is to make each letter a single object so I can perform a rotation animation on each one letter separately. 

How do I separate them?
With converted Text to Mesh go to Edit Mode, Select All (A) then hit P and choose 'By loose parts'.
