Earlier that afternoon, Bond had asked his headquarters in London for
more money. The cable was a sort of code. It meant that his headquarters
were sending him ten million francs.
Bond was pretending to be the son of a Jamaican millionaire. That was
his 'cover'.
He wrote a reply to the cable:
THANKS. INFORMATION SHOULD BE ENOUGH - BONO
Bond gave the reply to the concierge and said goodnight. Then he
walked upstairs to the door of his room. He took out a gun from under his
jacket. Then he opened the door quickly and switched on the light. There was
nobody in the room but Bond did not feel stupid. He had to be very careful in
his job
