Upon googling for my name, (that's how I kill time
), I came across this post thread. Since the original post had my name as a contact address, and there seem to be some confusion about the issue, let me clarify this.
I think the original poster sent the original message in good faith, though this probably was NOT the appropriate place to do so. The message was distributed for the Bangladeshi expatriates, and so, sending it here would just create possiblities of suspicion among non-Bangladeshi's who has no means to verify the thing. This is quite reasonable, as the Internet is full of scammers. I myself get more than 1 or 2 Nigerian emails everday, promising me millions of dollars. However, the Bangladeshi readers of this community might have the chance to verify this by going through the Bangladeshi newspapers, Bangladeshi TV channel broadcasts etc. In any case, posting the information here was inappropriate.
By the way, our campaign to raise funds for the ailing Bangladeshi student's bone-marrow transplant has been a success. At the USA, the task was later taken over by a registered US charity, SpaandanB. Here is their campaign page for the issue. (http://spaandanb.org/campaigns/spc/hridoy-fund.html ). The required funds for his treatment has already been raised. More information can be found at http://hridoy.vze.com . With the best wishes and prayers of people around the world, I hope he will survive after his treatment in Singapore.
I hope this clears up the confusion. Detleaf, I'm sorry that the original poster posted the mail here; even if it was done in good faith, there is really no way for non-Bangladeshi's to verify the information. Therefore, posting the message here was wrong, and the questions raised were justified. So, your deletion of the post was a correct thing. In the anonymous world of the Internet, it is better to be cautious.
Thanks
