This e-mail arrived a few minutes ago:
Dear Sir/Madam,
With sympathy and heavy laden hearts, we hereby appeal to your sense of generosity to assist by donating any amount you can afford towards The “TSUNAMIS DISASTER HELP FUNDS”, which is aimed at assisting the victims of the Asians Tsunamis which took place on Sunday the 26TH December, 2004 .
We are a non- governmental charity organisation with offices and members across 5 continents namely Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Asia. Our goal is to assist poor, innocent survivals of both man-made and natural disasters. Our officials and members are scattered in places in needs of human and material relief as seen in cases of Sudan ( Darfur ) and Haiti etc.
We would appreciate it, if you can send us an email. For further enquiries on how to make donations towards the Tsunamis Disaster Help Funds ( T D H F )
Yours Sincerely
Mr. Cedric Hyzy
Chief Coordinator
It’s a scam, obviously. You’d be better off donating to the Human Fund.
- For another twist on exploiting the tragic deaths of tens of thousands, see the lawyer representing a girl with Steven Johnson Syndrome in California. He described the lack of a warning label on a bottle of Motrin as a “medical tsunami.”

- Tim,
I note from Instapundit that you favour World Vision as a reliable fund for donating to. And that you sponsor a kid in Zimbabwe.
I’ll take this opportunity to also plug CCF, who also send the bulk of donated money to people who need it. We have the letters from our sponsored kid in East Timor to prove it.
Regards to Obvious.
Mr Hyzy’s father, a fighter for human rights in Nigeria, was assasinated by the governmet to get access to the human rights fund.
He has to get it out of the country to be able to help tsunami victims, but he can’t do it without your help. Send him your bank account details NOW!
Only an evil capitalist RWDB would be deaf to this appeal to the heart.
