CHARLIE SHEEN AUCTIONING OFF LETTER FROM STAR MARLON BRANDO

Charlie Sheen is selling a personal letter sent to him by Hollywood legend Marlon Brando.The 'Godfather' actor wrote to Sheen in 1991 to apologise for missing his 26th birthday party because he was ill. Brando writes: "I'm feeling like a very large turd on a very thin stick. I'm holed up in bed and taking everything from sled dog urine to powdered East Indian vulva - maybe won't work tomorrow if I feel the same."I really feel bad for not showing up at your birthday bash but I really feel shitty and best stay in bed. I don't have much of a selection. I'm sure it will be a kick in the ass and I hate to miss it "Happiest of birthdays to you Charlie. Love Marlon."The handwritten letter, scrawled in blue ballpoint pen on Brando's personal printed stationary, has a reserve bid of $1,000 and is being auctioned on Americana website Lelands.com.Brando died in 2004 aged 80. Sheen, 41, has been involved in messy divorce proceedings with the mother of his two children, actress Denise Richards, but has now agreed terms with his estranged wife.
