Dear Mr. Sir,

REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Major Abacha Tunde. He was the first African in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by return cargo. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home.

In the 14-years since he has been on the station, he has accumulated flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 15,000,000 American Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Lagos National Savings and Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return flight to bring him back to Earth. I am told this will cost $ 3,000,000 American Dollars. In order to access the his trust fund we need your assistance.

Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account or subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or operating foreign accounts in our names.

Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 20 percent of the transferred sum, while 10 percent shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between the parties in the course of the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70 percent to other accounts in due course.

Kindly expedite action as we are behind schedule to enable us include downpayment in this financial quarter.

Please acknowledge the receipt of this message via my direct number 234 (0) 9-234-2220 only.

Yours Sincerely, Dr. Bakare Tunde
Astronautics Project Manager

That is so funny, it's just got me rolling. Those fockers didn't even have a space program until just a few years ago. They only plan sending the first person into orbit in 2030..... and they're saying it happened 35 years ago........... :ROFLMAO: Then, the Russians made him stay in place of cargo [probably vodka] and he's been by himself all these 25 years ?? He's a basket case by now. Keep him up there or he'll come back down, start a church and ask for 900 blue and white banners. He can't get transportation from the moon..... do you think he'll get it from your shop with the banners ?? Let 'em rot up there, the dumb son-of-a gun.

I can't believe you'd post this great opportunity on a public forum! Somebody is definitely going to get that 20% before you.

You know what's sad some people will fall for this.

My mother to this day still sends away in the mail to those, you may have already won a million dollars. It's pathetic and pisses me off. Those people preying on the weak and feeble minded.

We all try to tell my mother oh it's a scam. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

The one solace I take in is how her eyes light up when she gets the new piece of mail for a little while she does have joy.
Its not that different to all lot of us in the vices we choose.
