Thomas Brown: I kept for you as your compensation

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.

Dear Friend.

I presume that you are doing ok, I am very happy to inform you about
my success in getting the transaction concluded and the funds
transferred under the help of a new partner from U.K.

Presently I'm in Japan doing investment in real estate with my own
share of the funds. Meanwhile I didn't forget all your past efforts so
now that God has helped me to conclude the transaction successfully,
out of my goodwill I will like you to contact my secretary for your
compensation token.

His name is: Mr. Robert Miscannon His email address is
(robertmiscannon@rogers.com) Telephone number- +44-70359-90802. Ask
him to release the Certified Bank Draft Check of USD $1,000,000.00
which I kept for you as your compensation for all your past efforts
and attempt to assist me in concluding the transaction.

Thank you.

Yours Truly,
Dr Thomas Brown©
