Miss Young

Hello, I am Miss Young. A scammer often fails in making his victim pay him money. But he does not give up if he thinks it is still possible to convince the victim. He could try a new scam with hidden millions or a big lottery winning. Another approach is a compensation letter where he promises the victim a big sum as compensation. The compensation money does not exist, - it is simply the start of a new scam. The letter below is an example of such a letter.

My Dear Friend,

I hope this mail will reach you in the best of health and business conditions.This is to thank for your assistance in helping secure a property sometime just few day. Though my proposal did not work with you, I still want to appreciate your effort and time, to purchase of a property.
I am happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds transferred under the co-operation of a new partner from Paraguay.
However, I am much elated and privileged to contact you again afterall. While it takes fate and courage to remember friends and at the same time, to show gratitude to them inspite of circumstances that may have disrupted our transaction ultimately not to work out as we projected.
I am presently in Paraguay as I earlier said for business negotiations and establishment, and, with a sincere heart, I have raised and signed an International Cashier' s Bank Draft, to the tune of US$50,000.00 (Fifty Thousand Dollars) in your name as COMPENSATION for your dedication and humane contribution as it were. I will be very busy here at the moment because of the investment projects that me nd my new partners are having at hand.
Do not also accept any fax or telephone calls that do not come from my secretary. He is the only person I instructed and directed on how to deliver the draft to you.
Therefore, I implore you to contact him immediately you read this message for further information on how to receive your draft, for I have conscience as a human being, and I really appreciated your tremendious effort and contribution made to make things work out but which we couldn' t complete due to circumstances beyond our control.
In view of this, you are to contact my secretary in the person of Mr Jerry Jacobi.
