Tsunami spam. Yucko.
This turned up in my inbox, headed "APPEAL":

Sri Lanka
05/05, 05

Dear Sir,

I have permission of the Ka'agama people to communicate
this message to you. For ages, prior to the tsunami
disaster, my people have suffered untold hardship under our
central government. The tsunami earthquake in our
country Sri Lanka have compounded our condition,by washing
away our tea farms and infrastructures.Several individuals
and organisations have specifically visited our province
and promised to support us financially towards rebuilding
our health centers. They also promise to provide emergency
items in the form of Food, Clothing,Shelter and Medicine.
Because of the presence of stagnant water, it is feared
that diseases could spread easily.

It is in view of this that our entire community in
Sivanolipatha Malai Sri Lanka appeal to you to help us
receive donations from donors in your country directly on
our behalf. In other words we shall keep such donations in
your custody and use them to provide basic amenities for my
people since the central government have continued to
show little or no interest in the welfare of over eight
hundred thousand homeless people in our community displaced
by the tsunami earthquake. We shall compensate you for your
time and resources deployed for this service. This is our
message. Please send your response to;

The Caliph
Ka'agama Liberation Front


No search engine hits on "ka'agama"; hence, obvious spam. Spam is bad enough, but to invoke the tsunami victims in spam... blech. :grr:
