Produce the combinations from two lists

Given two lists, produce the list of tuples formed by taking the combinations from the individual lists. E.g. given the letters ["a", "b", "c"] and the numbers [4, 5], produce the list: [["a", 4], ["b", 4], ["c", 4], ["a", 5], ["b", 5], ["c", 5]]

var letters = new List<char>() { 'a', 'b', 'c' };
var numbers = new List<int>() { 1, 2, 3 };

// result is a list that contaings lists of objects
var result = new List<List<object>>();
foreach (var l in letters) {
foreach (var n in numbers) {
result.Add(new List<object>() { l, n });
}
}
}
