Generic spin on it being a mafioso.
An old gentleman lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty sad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days. Love, Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Papa, Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried. Love, Vinnie
At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Papa, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.

This made me think of something I read online one time that essentially said if you really want to get a question answered correctly on the internet you shouldn’t just ask it, but rather you should post the question and then answer it incorrectly as, invariably, someone will show up to correct you

Murphy’s Law: the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer

YES THAT IS CORRECT AND NOBODY NEEDS TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE.

I know some people hate these threads, but I think they’re fun. I’d never start one, but I’ll join in if someone else does.
