The money with the finance company here in dakar senegal, Republic du senegal is due to mature by 28th of march,2005,and should be claimed by the depositor or his next of kin within 14 working days, else the fund will be forfeited to state. I must confess to you that if I do not find a way to bring this fund out of the Finance Company and also proceed to secure the Au Gold dust and Diamonds for sale. This is why I decided to browse extensively through the internet, in search of a relaible contact person who can stand in as a next of kin of my late friend and client so we can have this fund/merchandise retrieved and invested judiciously.
There are no risks involved as I am the only person who has access to my client's documents.The Finance firm has just sent a reminder to my client through me,informing me of the maturity of his fund so I suggest we expedite action on this.Your share of the fund is subject to negotiations.Reply urgently,as we mustconclude this transcation and have this fund transfered to you as the inherent beneficiary within the next few days.
