Dear Customers

I am enclosing part of an email from my supplier in Sri Lanka so that you can read first hand his comments: To help you understand, we recv'd an e-mail yesterday explaining that our suppliers divers all died during this tragedy.

Hallo Bill

Just returned from the south of sri lanka where the worse hit providing them with releif goods,
the divers living in these are has lost everything all the equipments infrastructure some their loved ones evreything thing is washed away, I have vever seen such thing even in my dream, I cant even describe in words its devastating, thank god we are living, myself, family all at the export holding facility in colombo is safe.

No choice we have to get started from zero and we need yr help very badly to help our divers to build up again to be in this trade if everyone can advance and ANY DONATIONS TO THE NEED ONES IS VERYMUCH APRRECIATED.

WE HOPE AND TRUST WE WILL HAVE A POSITIVE RESPONCE TO OUR THIS APPEAL ON BEHALF OF OUR DIVERS FROM UR GOOD SELVES WHICH WE WILL NEVER FORGET IN OUR LIFE TIME

we ramain anticipating yr reply.

Thanking you all in advance

I am asking everybody to make a donation. Please mail us a check by this Friday. Make it payable to Bill Backus or A&M Aquatics and we will forward it to them via a wire transfer. I want to wire funds to them as soon as possible. I am asking for $100.00 per store but feel free to send more and we will forward this money to them for distribution among the people who most need help and relief.

This is something that we cannot imagine and a $100 donation for all of us is something we can do and for them would be a huge help.

If anyone has any ideas how else to help these people effected please contact me. Thank you for your support in this effort.

Best Regards
Bill Backus
