About this picture: Jean-Claude Duvalier, known as Baby Doc, who lives in exile in Paris, emailed a reporter to say he wanted to donate money.

He said that he would officially ask the Foundation set up in the name of his late mother, Simone Ovide Duvalier, to transfer the 8 million 5 million to the American Red Cross for relief work.

Mr Duvalier said: It is with great horror and a profound emotion, but also with a very great concern, that I have monitored the murderous and devastating consequences of the terrible earthquake that has so piteously struck our country.

Chers compatriotes,

C'est avec effroi et une profonde motion, mais aussi une tr's grande pr occupation, que j'ai suivi les cons quences meurtri res et d vastatrices du terrible tremblement de terre qui a frapp si impitoyablement notre pays.

En ces heures de grande d tresse nationale, mes pens es vont aux bless s, aux victimes, particuli rement aux enfants et la jeunesse, leurs familles et leurs proches.

En ce moment de douleur et de deuil, je tiens vous assurer de ma totale solidarit, et j adresse aux familles si cruellement prouv es mes sinc res condol ances et mes plus profondes sympathies.

J'adresse galement toutes les quipes de secours mobilis es ma reconnaissance pour le travail remarquable qu elles accomplissent dans des conditions extr mement difficiles.

Je voudrais exprimer mes sinc res remerciements et encourager le formidable lan de solidarit que toutes les Ha tiennes et tous les Ha tiens du Monde manifestent, et auquel la communaut internationale s'associe pleinement.

Que cette communaut soit assur e de ma profonde gratitude.

Devant ce lourd et r voltant tribut, une fois de plus, inflig au Peuple et la terre d Ha ti, la Nation toute enti re doit se mobiliser pour surmonter ses malheurs.

Malgr la gravit de la situation, je souhaite vous dire mon espoir et ma conviction qu'Ha ti saura retrouver, gr ce une exceptionnelle mobilisation des forces vives de notre pays, avec l'aide de la communaut internationale, le chemin d'une r elle reconstruction.

Peuple Ha tien,

Je conna's votre extraordinaire courage, l'abn gation, et les sacrifices dont vous tes toutes et tous capables pour sauver notre pays.

Les moments p nibles que nous vivons en appellent au sens du sacrifice national.

Dans ces circonstances particuli rement dramatiques pour notre pays, je tiens a exprimer toute ma solidarit et mon soutien.

Je demande officiellement aux autorit's suisses, de transf rer imm diatement l'ensemble des avoirs de la Fondation de feu ma M re Simone Ovide Duvalier 8 millions de dollars US, la Croix-Rouge Am ricaine American Red Cross, en vu de porter une assistance d'urgence, principalement aux populations des villes de L ogane - ville natale de feu ma M re-, Carrefour - ville natale de feu mon P re- et, Port-au-Prince - o je suis n - mais aussi Gressier, P tion-Ville, Jacmel, les Cayes, Petit Goave, Grand Goave...

J'ai imm diatement pris des dispositions pour qu'une premi re aide d'urgence d'envergure parvienne Port-au-Prince au plus t t, et, un important r seau de b n voles est mobilis pour aider la population en d tresse.

Aux familles d munies, aux sans abri, aux r gions sinistr es, aux enfants et la jeunesse, j envoie un grand message de fraternit et de solidarit dans cette si cruelle preuve.

Que Dieu sauve Ha ti

A bient t.

Jean-Claude Duvalier.

Paris, le 15 janvier 2010.

In these hours of great national distress, my thoughts go out to the wounded, the victims, particularly the children and the youth, and their families and loved ones.

In the email, published in the online newspaper The Daily Beast, the 59-year-old called for the entire nation to mobilise to overcome these woes .

In spite of the gravity of the situation, I wish to tell you of my hope and my conviction that Haiti will once again find its way, thanks to an exceptional mobilization of the life forces of our country [and] with the assistance of the international community, the path toward a true reconstruction, he wrote.

Haitian People, I know your extraordinary courage, selflessness, and the sacrifices that you are all capable of to save our country.

The former dictator left Haiti in 1986 after a 15-year rule plagued by brutality, corruption and a crumbling economy.

He inherited power from his father, Papa Doc, and the father-son regime left at least 40, 000 political opponents dead.

Many lay the blame for Haiti's chaotic, poverty-stricken recent history at the hands of the Duvaliers.
