John Gotti’s Handwritten Letter to Frank Sivero: A Unique Piece of History

The Dapper Don’s Legacy

John Gotti, famously known as the “Dapper Don” or “Teflon Don,” was a notorious figure in the world of organized crime. His larger-than-life persona and celebrity status made him a household name. Despite numerous attempts to bring him to justice, it wasn’t until 1992 that Gotti was finally convicted under RICO charges in Brooklyn, leading to a life sentence without parole. This conviction marked the end of an era for one of the most infamous mobsters in American history.

A Personal Connection

Addressed to actor and friend Frank Sivero, the letter is signed in a warm and friendly manner, “Frank – Love Johnny.” The use of “Johnny” and “Love” was reserved exclusively for close friends and family, highlighting the special bond between Gotti and Sivero. The letter is accompanied by the original mailing envelope, which includes Gotti’s prison number and address, dated February 11, 2000, from the Marion Federal Penitentiary in Illinois.
