The diamonds was deposited by my late father in a holding firm and it is waiting for my order to be transfered as I am the "NEXT OF KIN" to the deposit as it is indicated in all the depositional documents.I am presently living in Dakar senegal.
Wish to hear from you soon.
Bye and God bless.
Yours truly
