first one of these I've gotten on this e-mail account ( I've had it for 5 yrs... that's a long time to go undiscovered )

Dear One,

I am Madam Aidata Hinda I am a widow being that I lost my husband,my husband Late Mr Hinda Norman was a serving director of the Cocoa exporting board until his death. He was assassinated by the rebels following the political uprising, before his death he made a deposit of Six Million Five Hundred Dollars ($6,500,000.00USD) here in Ouagadougou Burkina Faso in one of the Security Company,he intended to buy a Cocoa processing Machine with the fund.

I want you to help me for us to retreive this fund and transfer it to your account in your country or any safer place as you will be the beneficiary and recipient of the fund which we will use for joint investment in your country.

I have plans to do investment in your country, like real estate and industrial production. This is my reason for writing to you. Please if you are willing to assist me and my only Duaghter Nora ,indicate your interest by replying urgently

Thanks and best regards .

Madam Aidata Hinda
