For Astronautics Day: Scam - a truly cosmic problem

[Feher Tamas <etomcat () freemail hu>]

Hello,

As you know, April 12th is the International Astronautics Day (Gagarin 
and Shuttle-1 flew on this day). Because of Easter, the event received 
less media attention this year - but on-line fraudsters made sure it will 
not be completely forgotten.

> 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 for 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.
