This is a scam, and the scammer has no connection with hopeforhaitinow.org nor the Prosthetics Outreach Foundation. He has copied some of his email from the Prosthetics Outreach Foundation's website, including the part 'To make a tax-deductable donation to the Haiti Prosthetics Fund, please click here', although he has just copied the words, and there is no clickable link.
Any money sent in response to this email will not go to help people in Haiti, but will be kept by the scammer.

Help Victims children in Haiti
[Jan 19 '10] Haiti Need Fund's Earth Quake Victims

The Prosthetics Outreach Foundation (POF) shares the world's deep concern for the people of Haiti. The recent earthquake has robbed hundreds if not thousands of children and adults of their limbs. Emergency amputations add to this sad statistic daily.
Currently, the focus of the international community is on emergency response: saving lives and providing urgently needed orthopedic surgery. This is rightly so. In the coming weeks, the focus will begin shifting to reconstruction. POF has established a Special Fund to help Haitian amputees receive prosthetic services.
POF is well-qualified to help Haiti rebuild its capacity to meet the needs of amputees. In its Haiti response, POF is applying over 20 years experience helping over 20,000 amputees in the developing world regain and retain mobility.
To help restore sustained mobility to earthquake victims, POF is organizing a prosthetic assistance effort in Haiti based on the following principles:
1. PARTNER
POF will work in partnership with qualified in-country organizations. This will ensure reliable, efficient service delivery as well as accountability for assistance funds provided.
We need enough fund's to carry on the situation here in Haiti,to whom it may concern try and email us soon...
2. RESTORE PRODUCTION
POF is immediately focusing on restoring Haitian prosthetic service capabilities as rapidly as possible. This may include assistance with rebuilding prosthetic service centers and purchasing essential prosthetic fabrication equipment or prosthetic materials and components.
3. PRODUCE AND DELIVER
When Haitian prosthetic services are restored to a functional level, POF will fund the local fabrication and delivery of custom-made prostheses.
4. WE NEED SOME FUNDS TO HELP PEOPLE OF HAITI
