How do I convert/create a D string from LPVOID (void*)?

string GetLastErrorMessage() {

        LPVOID lpMsgBuf;
        DWORD errorMessageID = GetLastError();

        FormatMessageA(
                FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER |
                FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM |
                FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS,
                NULL,
                errorMessageID,
                MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT),
                cast(LPSTR) &lpMsgBuf,
                0, NULL);


        return ??
}

I forget to call LocalFree(lpMsgBuf); here...
