A SPA pensioner is trying to help track down a man being sought by an old pal from the Netherlands.

Mick Booth, of Corbett Avenue, received an intriguing letter from Carolien Slooff, who is looking for Dominic Booth.

The letter says they met in Thailand nine years ago and she wants to get in touch with him.

Mick believes the Dutch woman contacted him in the hope he may be a relative.

The OAP doesn't recall a Dominic in his family but said: "This woman has obviously gone to a lot of effort to find her friend and I would like to help if I can."

If you know Dominic, who is believed to be aged 35, contact Carolien at Van de Havestraat 8, 6521 JS Nijmegen, The Netherlands, or e-mail her at slooff@snp.nl
