Warehouse is the easiest level in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1, so you'll find all of the letters very quickly.

To reach it, first make sure that you're correctly lined up with the letter and then crouch to build up speed, which, when you reach the top of the ramp, should give you enough speed to reach the letter.
A can be found floating above the destroyed taxi in the right-hand side of the Warehouse and can be reached by performing an ollie.
T floats above the two sets of ramps in the middle of the Warehouse.
We recommend using the right-hand ramp from the starting point in the Warehouse to pick up speed, which should, when you go up the ramp at the bottom, give you enough air to reach the T.
E is located in the small alcove on the left-hand side of the Warehouse.
The quickest way to reach it is to go down the left-hand side of the ramp from the Warehouse's starting point and, at the bottom, immediately turn left and go up the ramp. You'll find the E sitting and waiting for you there.
