I have been desperately looking for somewhere to park my excess capital.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, my money (in gold dust, diamonds and Swiss CDOs) is locked in a Nigerian bank vault awaiting shipment to my Reno account.<br/><br/>The Nigerian&nbsp;Finance Minister has declared that foreigners seeking to repatriot capital must appear physically to be be vetted for the appropriate permissions to do so.<br/><br/>This, as you can well imagine, is an expensive proposition. I currently need financing of roughly $14,800 to finance my trip to Nigeria and pay the appropriate fees for release of this capital.<br/><br/>If you would care to forward to me 50% of the out-of-pocket expenses for this endeavor, ($7,400.00), I would be happy to meet you at New York's Kennedy International Airport and release the fee advance and the repatriated capital so you can meet&nbsp;your investment goals.<br/><br/>Yours in confidence,<br/>Rudy Valoppocino&nbsp; Wed, 15 Apr 2009 03:52:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Investors-needed/223759/ 2009-04-15T03:52:00Z
