LETTER TO A MENTOR DRAFT 1
Dear Nick Broomfield,
I was thinking of who killed Biggie and Tupac. You made a documentary about there murder and who were the suspects. There are a lot of people saying Puff Daddy put money on Tupacs head and others saying Suge Knight sent the hit. I want to know what you know about there murders.
Sincerely,
Axel Villa
