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.

Hello My Dear,

Compliments of the day!. I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting my contract payment of $15.5 million USD transferred under the cooperation and effort of a new partner from Paraguay. Presently I'm in Paraguay for Hotel investment projects now. Meanwhile, I didn't forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in getting the funds transfered despite that we failed to achieve the target, But though I have a good package for you because I'm very happy now.

Now I want you to contact my secretary, his name is Master Alvarez Brown, and his email address is: alvarez_brown@myway.com, for I have kept on instruction that a total sum of $50,000 USD, ( FIFTY THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS) International Certified Draft will be for you as your compensation.This is for your past efforts and assistance to help me get the funds transfered as I earlier promised you in our agreement. I appreciated your efforts at that time very much and may God continue to reward your good gestures.

So feel free and get in touch with my secretary Master Alvarez Brown and instruct him on how, when and where to send the Draft containing the money to you by confirming to him your full name and address and phone numberm to send it to. Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that you can jion me to celebrate the joy after, all the constraint we both passed through at that time.

In the moment, I am very busy here because of my hotel investment projects, which the new partner and I are having at hand. Finally, remember that I advised my secretary on your behalf that you will contact him to pick up the draft, so feel free to get in touch with him and he will send the draft to you without any delay.
I have attempted to call you but all effort proved abortive and I had to send you mail on this email address, which I guessed belongs to you.

Very Respectful,
Dr Amos Mohammed.
