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.

My Dear Good Friend,

How are you today?

Sorry for any inconveniences. Well, I just want to use this medium to thank you very much for your earlier assistance to help me in receiving the inheritance funds, without any positive outcome.

I am obliged to inform you that I have succeeded in receiving the funds with the help of a new partner from SPAIN.

Everything was perfectly done because we strike a deal with one of the Lady accountant who works with the Remittance Department of the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF)and she rendered a tremendous help to us.

My new partner initiated this idea and everything worked out successfully.In appreciation of your earlier assistance to me in receiving the Funds, I have decided to compensate you with the sum of $850,000 in a Cashier's cheque (Eight Hundred and FiftyThousand United States Dollars). This is from my own share of $18.5m, I did this simply to show you that it is good to do good things to the right people always.

Presently, I am in SPAIN for investment project with my own share under the advice of my partner Mr. Alfenze Infante. Meanwhile,I didn't forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring those funds despite that

it failed us somehow. I will be sending you mail to know if you have received your share or not. Now contact my personal assistant in Benin Republic. His name is Mr. Lucky Anyi send him your full name,mailing address and your contact telephone number for a direct communication perior to the delivery.

His e-mail addres is:( luckyanyi@excite.com)

Please do let me know immediately you receive the money so that we can share the joy together after all the suffering at that time. In the moment, I'm very busy here in Spain because of the investment projects, which the new partner and I are having at hand. So feel free to get in touch with Mr. Lucky Anyi to send the cheque to you without any delay.

With My Best Regards,

Honourable Duke Martins
