Editing text outlines

Hi guys, I need to edit my text to make the internal area joined, as I am cutting this out on a cnc machine. For example, I have attached a picture of the letter e, and have another photo of what I want to achieve.

I have converted the text to outlines, and I now need to edit the outline and make it 'bridged' to the centre.

I want it to follow the current lines so it's smooth.

im new to this so hopefully this makes sense.
Any help would be appreciated.

Easiest to do this if your letter is constructed of ellipses, then use shape builder (Shift + M) to add/subtract the final shape:

Thanks for responding. However I did not make this text, it was a font which I converted to outlines. Is there a way to edit the text and get a similar result?

If you can overlay circles precisely enough, you can use shape builder as described above. But it might be tricky if the 'e' is not composed of circles:

I know how to do this with straight lines, however I want it to follow the current curves, which is what I am unable to do
