Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Edgar Rena, the director of compensation here at the MN Compensation Office in
Chicago. We receive so many complaints about fraudulent activities that have been taking place in

your region for the past few years. Due to the high volume loss of money, the MN compensation
department has had an agreement with the appropriate authority to compensate each victim with a
sum of USD$500,000.00.
You were selected among the list of people to be paid this sum. To avoid any imperative mood by
intending scammers, your payment has been transmuted into an International bank draft which
can be cashed at any local bank in your country.
Please fill the below details and send it to our secretary for your compensation bank draft.
Full name: ______

losing your compensation, you are requested to pay the sum of $350 for Insurance Premium to
our secretary.
