This is the best Nigerian email scam I ever got. Was crying with laughter reading it.
Subject: Nigerian Astronaut Wants To Come Home
Dr. Bakare Tunde
Astronautics Project Manager
National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA)
Plot 555
Misau Street
PMB 437
Garki, Abuja, FCT NIGERIA
Dear Mr. Sir,
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
Click here to find out more!
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

LOL... the russians sure do like there vodka. :lol

OMG thats funny, I wonder if anyone is stupid enough to believe that one, but then again people fall for those Nigerian scams everyday.
Plus the Doctor needs to go back to math class, he went up in 89 and he's been there 14 years?
-
Maybe the letter was written in 2003, and it took that long for someone to walk it to their nearest wifi hotspot?
-
Heck, just tell him to start walking. He'll get back.

"Hello Major Abache Tunde.
Are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on.
We're standing by."
There's no reply.
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
calling, calling home...
Across the stratosphere,
a final message:
"Give my wife my love."
Then nothing more.
Major Abache Tunde

Maybe we can hire the Mexican space program to get the man back like the kids on South Park did to get that killer whale back to it's home on the moon, I think it would only cost a few hundred bucks, come on people lets get this man back home.:D

Coming in the summer of 2008, "Lost in Space" the true story of a Nigerian man forgotten in a space station, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll want your money back.

Can't he just hitch a ride with one of the Rook pilots up there?
;)

Rooks don't get near high enough for that. May have to hail a passing Bish. At the very least Ack-Ack should be able to give him a hand. :D
