Dear Sir or Madam-

Dr. Bakare Tunde Obama III, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Barrister Jon Corzine has accumulated and segregated customer accounts, flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 1.5 billion American Dollars. This is held in a Madoff trust at JP Morgan's Lagos Branch. 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 $ 30,000,000 American Dollars.
In order to access the his trust fund we need your assistance.

Dear Mr. Sir,
URGENT ELECTRONIC EMAIL REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am Dr. Bakare Tunde Obama III, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Barrister Jon Corzine. He was the first African commodities broker 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 destinated to the good offices of JP Morgan & Co. 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 and segregated customer accounts, flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 1.5 billion American Dollars. This is held in a Madoff trust at JP Morgan's Lagos Branch. 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 $ 30,000,000 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 licensed commodities brokers are prohibited by the Chicago Metal's Exchange Code of Conduct Bureau (and CFTC Laws) from opening and/ or operating customer accounts in our own names during normal CME trading hours.
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 hedging expenses (internal and external) between the counter parties in the course of the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70 percent to other commingled 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 Obama III
