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.

Greetings!
I have been waiting for you since to contact me

of the country for 3 Months
  Course and I will not come back till end of
AUGUST.

What you have to do now is to contact the
FEDEX COURIER SERVICE as soon
  as possible to know when they will deliver your
package to you because
  of the expiring date. For your information, I
have paid for the
  delivering Charge, Insurance premium and
Clearance Certificate Fee of the
  Cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or
meant to sponsor Terrorist
  attack in your Country.

The only money you will send to the FEDEX
COURIER SERVICE to deliver
  your Draft direct to your postal Address in your
country is ($205.00US Dollars)
  Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the
Courier Company so far.
  Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay
any other money except
  $205.00US Dollars. I would have paid that but
they said no because they
  don't know when you will contact them and in
case of demurrage.

receive this mail to avoid any
  further delay and remember to pay them their
