Detailed explanation-1: -What did Hamlet do to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern? Hamlet replaced (switched) the letter that called for his (Hamlet) execution (death) with letters calling for their (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern) execution.
Detailed explanation-2: -He sealed the letters with his father’s State Seal, which he carried in his purse. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern do not know that Hamlet has replaced the letters, and thus, according to Hamlet, their demise will be due to their own actions in delivering the letters to the English king.
