Dear Sir/Madam,

We are from a small village in the Aceh Region in Indonesia affected by the recent Tsunami Quakes/floods Disaster that swept through South Eastern Asia.

We have been rendered homeless and have lost all we have in life. Many foreign tourists also were affected by the quakes/floods.

Since we have no other way to survive as of now and have lost most of our relations and children, we have decided to write this letter of APPEAL FOR DONATIONS.

We will be very grateful if you can assist us with any amount of money to enable us start a new lease of life. Our little business have been swept off by the floods and we cannot go and steal. All we need is money to rehabilitate and start business again to make a living. No amount is too small to assist in this relief efforts.

We are sending this mail to many people all over the world for assistance as we can't help ourselves. The United Nations and other world bodies/organisations are helping but the funds are not well circulated. So we need your assistance.

Sir/Madam we pray that God/Allah will reward you abundantly for listening to the voice of the less privileged and people whose lives have been devastated by a natural disaster.

Any donation can be sent either by Western Union Money Transfer Services or Money Gram Transfer to:

Dear Friend,

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because I believe everyone will die someday.

My name is Joseph Calag and I am a successful merchant and busninessman in the Philippines. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer, and I am dying. I do not have much time left.

It has defied all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few weeks to live, according to medical experts.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but only for my business.

Though I am very very rich, I was never generous. I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. And so I bacame a very very rich man.

But now I do regret all of this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I will live my life very differently from how I have lived it this time.

Now that God has called me to be with him, I must do what is necessary to go to heaven.

I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul. I desperately want to go to heaven. So I have decided to give alms to tsunami charity organizations; as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth.

I have barely given money away. I want to give them millions and millions of dollars. I may be dying but they will get all of my money. So they will get the money and I will go to heaven. I must do this now before I die so I will go to heaven.

Your e-mail address was given to me because I was told from very important people that you can help me. I know that you are now the only person that can help me. If you will please help me give most of my $207,000,000 fortune to tsunami charity organizations, I will set aside 25% for you, so you will get $52,000,000.

You see, I am dying so the money does not mean anything anymore. I just need to go to heaven. And I know that you are the only person who can help me.

You must send me an e-mail now and I will tell you what we need to do. And do not tell anyone about this.

Remember I am dying so do not wait.

My email address is: [e-mail address removed]

Best regards,

Joseph Calag

Please answer my call for help.

I was almost killed by the tsunami here in Indonesia. I have lost all of my family and I have lost my house and I just got out of the hospital because I almost died and was very sick. And I still need another operation. I had many operations. I thought I was going to die and I did not die but now the hospital is demanding the money for my operations or they will not operate on me any more.

My liver was damaged in the tsunami and I need a transplant. If I do not pay $20,000 to them I will die. My wife has died and my children have died and now I will die if you do not help me. Maybe you can’t pay all but can pay part. You can pay what you want and you will help me not to die.

Western union is the best way to get money to me very fast, you just send a money gram to me. [Address removed]

You will be blessed when you do. My wife and children are dead. Will you let me die too?

Subject: Effect of Tsunami

Greetings,

My name is Princess Surasit Mangkut. I am sending this mail from Khao Lak, north of the island resort of Phuket in Thailand were I have lived all my married life. The reason for getting in touch with you is as a result of the Tsunami waves disaster which has severely affected 9 countries on the coast of the Indian Ocean from Malaysia in Asia all the way to Somalia in Africa. I saw my whole family washed away, the helplessness of the situation most especially watching my crippled diabetic husband die has left me totally shaken.

I will be very direct with you. This is not a plea of any sort for any kind of help from you but rather it is more of a business proposal due to the fact that I now find myself in a totally confused and regrettable situation. Briefly I will explain what this is all about.

My husband over the years was directly involved in the government development of tourism and awarding contracts for the building of hotels and resorts. From over invoicing contracts he was able to stash away the sum of $24,000.000.00 (twenty four million United States dollars) in Europe. This money was intended as security for our future and the future of our three sons and grand children. However that will never be as I am the sole survivor of my family following the Tsunami incidence. Watching my whole family, children and grandchildren die has left me with a change of heart towards life. I am totally ashamed of myself in the selfish and greedy manner I have carried on in life and I pray that I can make amends in anyway that is possible. However I have been diagnosed as being terminally ill with cancer, doctors have given me 6 months. We were having a family Christmas in our luxury villa were we broke the news of my cancer to the family when disa ster struck. The reason I survived I do not know. I can only attribute it to a miracle that I wish never happened.

This money ($24,000,000.00) is held in trust. I cannot collect the money directly because of the manner the trust was set up, because at the time my husband wanted no direct link back to himself. I cannot do much as literally I am counting my days. I propose to make you the beneficiary of the trust. I have all the required documentation and authority to do this. Also it will be done through an attorney who is specialist in this area. For all your trouble I will give you 25% of the total amount. 70% will be given to charity and the balance 5% I intend to give to all those in anyway involved with looking after me in my dieing days.

Please do not be quick to judge me. As I mentioned earlier it is with total regret and remorse that I look back at the life I have lived. If for any reason you find this mail offensive please pardon me. Please get in touch with me by email. I will wait for your go ahead so that we can proceed. If I do not hear from you then I take it in good faith that you are not interested.

My prayers and thoughts go to all those who have lost their lives in this crisis. Most especially the grieving families. Please together let us help those in need.

Regards
Surasit

I am Mr. Raj Liman a native of Durban in South Africa and I am currently residing in town of Bawomataluo Nias Island in Northern Sumatra, Indonesia for 23 years. I am the owner of Bataks Resort Casinos.

The December 26th 2004, Indian Ocean earthquake which triggered a series of lethal tsunamis wrecking unprecedented havoc within the immediate vicinity of the quake in Indonesia, leaving so many dead and homeless.

I was running and the sea was behind me, it was terrible. I dare not look back. More petrifying was the land ahead of me, which was breaking up every three feet and water was gushing out like a fountain. I lost my family and all that I possess, but I survived and was rescued to Medan Capital of North Sumatra.

This email should serve as an appeal to you to assist me in recovery the remains of my funds (Seven Million, Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars) in Indonesian Central Gaming Office vault. This funds where kept for game rounds owing to Government Bank regulations on foreigners and Gambling houses in Indonesia. This is all I have to set myself on in life and business again.

I must transfer these funds now, that tax policies and regulations are less strenuous, owing to the tsunamis catastrophe. I will have an extensive discussion with you as soon as you assure me of your assistance.

I am currently based in Medan North Sumatra if you are interested in assisting me in this transfer; please urgently contact me on the following;

1: Satellite Telephone Number: [phone number removed]
2: Satellite Fax Number: [phone number removed]

Dear friend,

My name is David Kennedy and I am a victim of the recent Earthquake followed by the Tsunami that wrecked our whole society of Banda Aceh Province in Indonesia resulting in painful death of my Parents.

My Late Father is from Paramaribo in Suriname (South America) and my Mother from Banda of Aceh Province in Indonesia, they got married in Suriname because Indonesia like Suriname was a colony of The Netherlands, but they moved to settle in Indonesia when my Sister and I were born and because Indonesia has better economy than Suriname, but my Sister and I was away in School in the Capital Jakarta when this sorrowful incidence happened to my late parents and all other Families affected by the Quake and the Tsunamis all around Sumatra and Aceh Province.

My Father and Mother owned a tourist resort and grocery store in Banda Aceh in Indonesia, it was visited by numerous tourists from different countries on Holidays each year but this tragic and devastating Tsunamis took the lives of my parents and many others.

My Late Parents saved much of their money in a Bank in The Netherlands, not only because we were Dutch Colony but also because we speak Dutch as an official Language in Suriname, I contacted my Parents Lawyer in Jakarta and he has confirmed to me that my Parents has the sum of 3.2Million Euros deposited in savings in The Netherlands which will be claimed by me as next of Kin, but he also explained to me that because I was not nationalized in Netherlands after Suriname got Independence from the Netherlands I had no permission to settle there in that Country.

We have recovered the corpses of my Late Parents, although private, international and government aid is coming in, it will not be any where enough to settle our problems, please I am hereby soliciting for your assistance at clearing my Late father's money Euros 3.2Million in The Netherlands, I have asked the Lawyer to provide me with all documents, I shall have send them to you when you show sincere intentions to help me and my Sister, if you are business oriented with experience in Holiday, Hotel and Resort business or have some idea on how to run a groceries shop, I am willing to recommit the money for the full benefit of all (My Sister you and I) apart from that I shall be willing to give a negotiable percentage of the money to you otherwise or alternatively, please contact me on my email address as the telephone system is not functioning at the moment.

Tsunami Website Scams

by Kevin Caruso

It is extremely easy for scammers to set up a website that looks like a legitimate tsunami charity.

This is one method they use:

They go to a legitimate tsunami charity website and use the source code to duplicate the site -- their site will look EXACTLY like the charity's site; they change a few things so that any donated money will go to them and not to the charity.

Next, they register a domain name that looks similar to the domain name of the charity. For example, they can start with the words “Red Cross” and just add another word.

They then quickly put the site online and -- THAT FAST -- the scammers are ready to get to work.

Now they send out MILLIONS of e-mails that are said to be from the Red Cross; and when unsuspecting recipients click the link in the e-mail, they are taken to the scammer's site.

This is just one tactic that scammers use . There are many more that I will not describe for obvious reasons.

To protect yourself from scammers, do not respond to any e-mails asking for donations.

For a list of the top tsunami relief charities and additional information on how to avoid scammers, please visit the home page of this website.
