Dear friends in Japan,
We are very sorry and in deep sadness to hear Tsunami that is currently happening in Japan. We, Indonesian people, have not yet forgotten the Tsunami catastrophe in Aceh-Indonesia in 2004 and what it took from us.
We cannot imagine the pain of losing families, lands and many other things and uncountable matters. Please accept my condolence to the people in Japan. Our colleagues from Indonesian Consortium of Biotechnology are also extending their deepest sympathies to Japanese colleagues.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Prof. Misri Gozan
Thank you for your kind sympathetic e-mail to Japanese colleagues.
It was really big earthquake I have never experienced. In Tohoku area, serious damages happened as you mentioned.
Fortunately people in Tokyo area are almost safe and the damages of stuffs and instruments were a little, although we cannot return to our home because the all subway and railway in Tokyo area stop completely tonight. We will spend night in our laboratory.
Thank you again for your sincere condolence to the people in Japan.
With best regards,

Dear Prof. Nagamune and Japanese Colleagues,
I watched the TV news about the most powerful earthquake and tsunami to hit
Japan in recorded history, which is hard to believe. Early this morning
Prof. Ho Nam Chang called me and wanted me to convey his condolences to
Japanese friends. Concerning this mishap, Prof. Yoon-Mo Koo e-mailed me, and
I also talked with Profs. Young Je Yoo and Jung-Keug Park.
On behalf of AFOB Korean Regional Brach Office, I wish to offer our all
Korean AFOB members' condolences. I read the article that Japan is the
country which prepared well for tsunami. We wish that Japan will be
recovered quickly from the devastating earthquake.
If you and colleagues have anything we can help you with, please let us
know.
We also try to find what we can do.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Prof. Nagamune and AFOB Japan,
On behalf of Thai Society for Biotechnology, we would like to covey our sincerely sadness to you and your colleagues and all Japanese family who have been lost their family and properties. The disaster was so sudden causing domino effect of unexpected.
In Thailand, particularly TSB members, there are many Japanese university alumni or related. As a president, I am calling the donation from our members and hope this will help the victims or this disaster somehow. I also have two of my previous students studying PhD at Tohoku university.
In fact, the donation to Japan in Thailand is the initiatives of the King and Queen. Now many organizations help to organize the donation and buying food, warm cloth, battery etc and sending them to Japan as soon as possible.
Regards,

Dear colleagues
Thank you very much for your concerns, condolence and encouragements on us for the sufferings of the unexpected calamity occurred here in Japan. We, most of us, close friends and their families, some of them have been living in and near the regions, are fortunately ok, though I have not been able to get a contact with some peoples.
I strongly believe that we, Japanese, will overcome the great tribulations from catastrophic disaster to recover the situations shortly so as to survive in a good condition with the aid of kind, warm and strong supports by the people from all over the world.
With my sincere appreciation,
