Frank Sinatra - Sinatra Letter To Be Auctioned

An angry letter FRANK SINATRA sent to a Catholic priest attacking the men who were jailed for kidnapping his son is expected to fetch $36,000 (GBP18,000) at auction.

The late crooner fired off the type-written missive in 1964 to Federal Bureau of Prisons Chaplain Roger Schmit, after Schmit had asked him to forgive the men who snatched Frank Sinatra Jr the previous year, when he was 19.

He also addresses rumours his son was in on the plot, writing, "You have had no prior relationship to the Sinatra family. It is presumptuous for you to ask us to forgive them... Up to this time I have remained silent about the harm done to my son by the claim of 'hoax', but your letter, written in the name of God, has caused me to break the silence."
