Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original
contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed.

contractors all debts owed, so as to maintain good relationship with
foreign governments and non-government agencies, we included our bills
for approvals with the Department of Finance and the South Africa

beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since I am not allowed to operate
foreign accounts.

claim to reflect payment and approvals will be secured on behalf of
you/your Company. I have to propose that should you be willing to
