Respect

What a treasure of information to show the inner workings of La Cosa Nostra. It sounds like Sammy was the REAL gangster with honor and respect.
Much respect to Sammy.

Sammy my boy !

Hi Sam, I would like to know Sammy how the heck do I get envelopes to you to throw money at you or give you I’ll give you like you know weekly gift or whatever you know 1020 bucks you know just something to know so I can feel part of the show I don’t understand how to do that. I guess I’m not so smart, but I wish you’d given instructions because I can’t understand I can’t get a phone number I can’t get an address. I just don’t know how it works. I’m sorry to be a moron, but you know I’m being honest with you I just can’t get through..
