Luigi Lavazza, it is with great respect that I write this letter. Excuse please, but I must say what is on my heart. I remember when you were a little bambino growing up in a house full of girls playing spin the bottle. You were the pride of the household, ‘Little Bambino Luigi’ they would say. Yes you were spoiled, but you soon learned the lesson- ‘Dietro ogni successo fortuna c'è un crimine’ (Behind every successful fortune; there’s a crime) and you learned it very well. You have no reason to be ashamed because you followed Capone’s philosophy and built the organization upon fear. Knuckles McLarge those were the days. You cut the deals and turned your back on many members, but it was nothing personal it was business. So what? Bravo! So why shouldn’t you relax? You know the old saying: “Bella cosa far niente-“IDLENESS IS A NICE EMPLOYMENT” (A beautiful thing). If those “mangiatori di torta” (cake eaters) in HR and that capo braciole of a president want to keep you on the payroll, so be it. They don’t know from nothing. They go to school for all that education, but can’t figure their way out of a paper bag; it’s sweet doing nothing and getting paid for it. You set the bar being the highest paid expeditor on the east side and the only thing you had to push was a cart full of scharole’s to the bank. Getting paid overtime and drawing a nice chunk from the coffers. Not bad huh? So you live in a palace. Why shouldn’t you? You got for free what others had to work hard for, and that gave some people agita. The lawyer with the briefcase can steal more money than the man with the gun. But, forget about it! You should take the Don’s advice and visit Palermo. Money never goes to prison. Cut a deal with that stupid fagiolo and take the scharoles. Remember Luigi, when you finish the game the king and the pawn end up in the same box. When you skate on thin ice, skate fast and afterwards come to Chicago to set up shop.
