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

Sounds genuine...I'm in...;)
 
they are getting more entertaining at least; secret African astronaut sheesh.
 
Don't bother responding to this. I already gave them my SSN and bank information so he should be ok.
 
Spanish prisoner scam, 400 + years old and still going strong. And probably a lot older than that. Gizmodo calls this one "the Best Nigerian Prince Email Scam in the Galaxy". And points out that it looks like it was created in 2004 if you work out the years.
 
How can you guys be so cavalier about some poor guy stranded in space???
 
Wow, that must be a hell of an astronaut who can survive in a space station for 13 years after it's destroyed.

Salyut 7 reentered in 1991.

He started out as a white man.

He's inside Salyut 8. Actually, the level of detail in this is quite good. Salyut 7 was the last of the Salyut series and Soyuz T 15 was the last of that series so if we assume there was one more secret mission of each before the breakup of the Soviet Union, then the numbers will work out
 
I say we send a few Nigerian scam artists INTO space to keep him company!
 
It's a rocket scam, rocket scam ...

This is Ground Control to Major Tunde ... (R.I.P David Bowie)
 
His bosses didn't like him so they shot him into space.

We can send him cheesy movies, the worst ever made, so he can watch them with his robot friends. Wait, that sounds familiar.
 
Even if it was true and the guy is real and has been in space that long, don't you think returning to Earth would probably kill him?


That's one scene in Gravity that was pure BS. Astronauts are sick when they arrive. Their bodies (inner ear & equilibriums)are overwhelmed so they want to vomit & pass out.

And this upcoming election is turning up to be more of the same. Trump is fun though, especially when Jebby tries to debate him. :lol:
