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.

Subject: THANKS SO MUCH

Dear Friend,

It is my pleasure to reach you after our unsuccessful attempt on our business
transaction. Well, I just want to use this
medium to thank you very much for your earlier assistance to help me in
receiving the funds.

I am obliged to inform you that I have succeeded in receiving the funds with the
help of a new partner from South America Mr.
Alfredo Gomez Castillo. Everything was perfectly done because we strike a deal
with one of the Lady Accountant who works with
the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF), and she rendered a tremendous help to us.
My new partner initiated this idea and
everything worked out successfully.

In appreciation of your earlier assistance to me in receiving the funds, I have
decided to compensate you with the sum of $1,200,000.00(One Million two hundered
thousand United States Dollars) in a Cashier's draft. This is from my own share.
I did
this simply to show appreciation to you for your kind support and assistance
even though we couldn't succeed due to some unforseen circumstances. Presently,
I am in South Korea for investment with my own share under the advice of my
partner.In the light of the above, you are therefore to contact my personal
secretary in Cotonou Benin Republic his name is Pst Mark wells,
and do send him your contact address where you want the draft to be sent to
you. Stated below is the contact information of
my secretary:

Mr, mark wells,
E-mail address: markwells227@hotmail.com

Tell. . . 00229 9566 7954

So feel free to get in touch with him to send the draft to you without any delay
ok.

My best regards,
Mr. james mar
