Autograph Letter signed: "Albert Moss" in black ink, 1p, 8¼x11¾. No place, 1984 September 9. On the actor's personal letterhead. Original mailing envelope, 9½x6½, included. No greeting. In full: "The most important role I have played so far is that of "Saddrudin" in the James Bond movie "Octopussy"; as the Head of intelligence in India./ I had to ride a three wheeler Motor Cycle which is a common task in India; only the one I had to ride was official built for stunt work. Being a good rider myself I had no problem getting used to the three wheeler after many hours riding in a park in Udaipur in India where we were filming./ One the day of filming; a camera, the director, the cameraman and focus puller were in a vehicle hooked to the three wheeler I was riding with Roger Moore as my passenger. No one was aware at the time that the vehicle I was towing was heavier than the three wheeler, all went well on the flat road but when we came to a downhill, my three wheeler with Roger Moore in it was pushed down hill straight into a wayside stall. We all escaped unhurt but very badly shaken./ There is no doubt all concerned will remember this incident always".
