From: sura@hanko.co.jp To: *whitheld* 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 sura@hanko.co.jp
