A new business message marked "important" has arrived from Nigeria. Me
+ssage as follows:

I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Maj
+or 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 lat

space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when th

In the 14-years since he has been on the station, he has accumulated f

Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Lagos National Savings and Tru
+st Association.
