Re: American final death toll and tsunami victims list

Dear Sirs and Madams,

How many Americans died as victims of the tsunami 2004 (missing and dead)? Does your Center dispose of an official final victims’ list giving total numbers and full names?

Regards,

Re: Our inquiry for exact and final number of U.S. tsunami victims 2004

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Your office has established the official number of Americans’ deceased in 2004.

Does the number of 2,397,615 that your office provides include the total and final number of American tsunami victims that occurred abroad in the year 2004?

If it does, how did your office arrive at this number?

Would you be able and willing to communicate this number to us, if possible with full names and additional data like address, etc.?

Yours faithfully,

Jerzy Chojnowski
