Why do they say "michael corleone says hello" if they planned on killing Frankie five angels?
Just assuming they intended to kill him, it would be to add humiliation to the murder, to make Frankie think he was dying as a betrayed fool instead of a good soldier.
If this is the case, then it raises a separate issue: If the default position in Mafia culture concerning killing is that "it's strictly business", then the Pentangeli/Rosato conflict would seem to be a real outlier: It seems to have been mostly personal.
