Hello,
I pray that this email reaches you in the best of health. This lettermay come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we
have not yet met. The message could be strange to you, the sake of your integrity.
In a brief introduction, I am Joel kendick, the Director of Operation with Cooperative Bank of Benin-Cotonou ,Republic
of Benin. I have a very interesting transaction to discuss with you.
The business under discussion has to do with George Stearns a national of your country, who is a Consultant/ contractor with
Societe Nationale Des Products D' Agricole (SONAPRA) Company in Benin-Cotonou.
I managed to get your contact details through the Internet search myself because time is of importance to it and I am desperately
looking forsomeone to assist me to pull this money out from the bank as the next of kin.
.On Thursday,December 25, 2003, George Stearns , his wife and their only daughter were involved in Air-Crash near the Atlantic
Ocean in Cotonou suburb. For more clarifications, you can visit the CNN web news for the tragedy.
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/
Since then I have made several inquiries to your Embassy, in a bid to locate any relation of George Stearns . All attempts to
reach the next of kin of George Stearns has been futile as He had no family here in Benin Republic. Hence my decision to contact you. I
want you and I to go into partnership, the nature of your business is completely irrelevant to this transaction as all I need
from you is an assurance that my interest will be fully protected once his transaction is concluded.
George Stearns , made a numbered time (fixed) deposited for twelve calendar and his account with our Bank accrues to about
(Four Million, Three hundred and Fifty- Two Thousand US Dollars) $USD4.352M.
This is very simple, I will like you to reply immediately
so that I can send you the Text of application which you will fill
and apply to the bank as the next of kin to George Stearns and I will
use my good position in the bank as the Director of Operation to
make sure that the application is approved, during board meeting for
immediate payment. If you are interested, reply immediately via my private
e-mail address: joelkendick@ny.com so that we can proceed at
once.
Best Regards.
JOEL KENDICK
