Was Hamlets act of vengence- killing claudius- justifiable?
Hamlet's killing of Claudius using Laertes' poisoned sword is an act of vengeance, but not the one envisaged by the ghost. Laertes has just revealed that the sword which has wounded both Hamlet and himself is poisoned. He then goes on, "Thy mother's poisoned. I can no more. The King, the King's to blame." Faced with this accusation that Claudius is responsible for three deaths--Laertes, Gertrude, and Hamlet, Hamlet immediately goes after him with the sword. ("The point envenomed too? Then venom, to thy work.") Claudius is poisoned but not yet dead (he says, "I am but hurt"), so Hamlet forces him to drink the rest of the poisoned cup ("Drink off this potion. Is thy union here? Follow my mother.") Laertes feels that this is justifiable: he says, "He is justly served." Somehow, this act, done in the heat of the moment, sits better with us than the cold-blooded murder urged on him by the ghost. It sits better with Hamlet too. And for all his admiring talk about his father, when he gets down to killing Claudius, he is not thinking about revenging his father at all--his thoughts are for his mother.

What is a quick summary of Hamlet?
Hamlet is told by the ghost of his father that he was murdered by Hamlet's uncle Claudius who is now the king and Hamlet's stepfather. In the process of pursuing his revenge, Hamlet kills Polonius, Claudius's counsellor and the father of Hamlet's girlfriend Ophelia. Ophelia goes mad and dies, and her brother Laertes comes vowing vengeance for his father's death. Laertes and Claudius plot Hamlet's death, but although Hamlet is mortally wounded, their plot misfires, killing Hamlet's mother and Laertes. Hamlet kills Claudius before he, too, expires.
Does Laertes agree to Claudius' plot to kill Hamlet?
Hamlet didn't write any letters to Laertes--ah, you mean "Did Claudius read the letter Hamlet wrote to Claudius out loud to Laertes?"
