This sum of $45,000,000,00.is still lying in the bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year . no one will come forward to claim it . accoding to laws of Republic senegal, at the expiration of 7(SEVEN) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the government if nobody applies to claim the funds. consequently,my proposal is that i will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to mr. smith norman so that the fruits of this old man labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt officials. this is simple,
