ALMOST two years since his death aged 89, a piece of Sir Roger Moore memorabilia goes under the hammer this week.

In a blunt 1979 letter to movie accountant Brian Bailey, the normally gentlemanly James Bond actor, pictured, merely wrote: “Dear Brian: “B **** cks!” Yours sincerely, Roger Moore.”

With the letter up for grabs at Aston’s auction house in Dudley this Thursday, a spokesman mischievously speculates:

“We can only imagine that this must be in response to Brian rejecting one of Roger’s expenses claims.”
