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.

GRATITUDE TO THEM DESPITE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MADE AND DISRUPTED OUR 
TRANSACTION,  WHICH ULTIMATELY DID NOT WORK OUT AS WE HAD PROJECTED THEN.

THOSE FUNDS TRANSFERRED UNDER THE COOPERATION OF A NEW PARTNER FROM PARAGUAY .
PRESENTLY I AND AM IN LONDON FOR INVESTMENT PROJECTS WITH MY OWN SHARE OF THE
TOTAL SUM. MEANWHILE, I DIDN'T FORGET YOUR PAST EFFORTS AND ATTEMPTS TO
ASSIST ME IN TRANSFERRING THOSE FUNDS DESPITE THAT IT FAILED US SOME HOW. BUT
FOR THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE ONCE PARTICIPATED IN THE PAST, I CANNOT JUST FORGET
YOU SINCE I HAVE FINALLY ACHIEVED THIS GOAL. IN THAT CASE, I PERSONALLY
REMEMBERED ALL YOUR EFFORTS AND CO-OPERATIONS IN THE PAST.

THAT TIME VERY MUCH. SO FEEL FREE AND GET IN TOUCHED WITH MY SECRETARY PAUL
