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 for your Confirmable BankDraft of $900.000.00 United States Dollars, but I did not hear from
you since that time. Then I went and deposited the Draft with FEDEX COURIER SERVICE,West Africa, I travelled out of the country for a 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 itis 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 ($220.00 US)
Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far. I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you
will contact them and in case of demurrage. You have to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE now for the delivery of your Draft with this information bellow;

Contact Person: Mr. Peter Noerde
Email Address: peternoerde@msn.com
Telephone: +234-80-621 811 91

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm the following information in your response to FedEx office.
Your Postal address(***) and Direct telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your package over there and know when it will get to your address.

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them teir Security Keeping
fee of $220.00 US Dollars for their immediate action. You should also let me know through email as soon as you receive your Draft.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr Alex James
