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.

Hello My Dear,

After waiting and no response was heard, I deposited and also paid for the
delivery fee of your $1.5,000 000.00 Million US Dollars,as consignment box
to FEDERAL INLAND SECURITY COMPANY in Lagos Nigeria because I travelled to
SAUDI ARABIA to visit my friend and i will not come back till April,2008.I
want you to contact the FEDERAL INLAND SECURITY COMPANY to know when
they will be delivering your consignment.

I have paid for the delivery charges and also the insurance fee,the only
fee you will pay them is the monthly demurrage fee which they would pay
the security department that are guarding your consignment since the
deposition day.

But if you will be very fast in contacting them,you will be charged for
only one month demurrage fee which will cost only $270 USD. So I urge you
to contact them as soon as you receive this email.

CONTACT: DR. Eric Daramola
MANAGER FEDERAL INLAND SECURITY COMPANY.
E-mail: ericdaramola@post.ro
Telephone Number : +234-808-127-2720

Try to contact them as soon as possible to avoid increase in demurrage
fee.I gave them your delivery address but you have to reconfirm it to them
again to avoid any mistakes in the delivery of your fund .

Reconfirm below information to the company.

Your Full Name- - - - - - - - - - - -

Note: You are to contact the FEDERAL INLAND SECURITY COMPANY MANAGER via
this email:- (ericdaramola@post.ro)

Finally indicate this code: GM0081 when contacting them,it will identify
that you are the owner of the $1.500.000.00 consignment trunk box
deposited in the company. Do let me know as soon as you receive your
consignment and take a proper account of the content if the content is
$1.500.000.00.
