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
