This is a compensation scam targetted at scam victims. The scammer tries to make the victim believe they can be compensated for the loss of their money, but as with all scams, the scammer will ask to pay for fees or other costs to release the money. Don't fall for this scam!

Dear Esteemed Customer,
We at this bank wish to congratulate and inform you that after
thorough review of your Inheritance/Contract funds transfer release
documents in conjunction with the World Bank and the International
Monetary Fund assessment report, your payment file was forwarded to us
for immediate transfer of a part-payment of US$5,800,000.00 to your
designated bank account from their offshore account with us.
The audit reports given to us, shows that you have been going through
hard times by paying a lot of money to see to the release of your
funds, which has been delayed by some dubious officials.
We therefore advice that you stop further communication with any
correspondence outside this office since you do not have to pay any
money or fee to receive your funds as you have met up with the whole
funds transfer requirements.
The only thing required from you is to obtain the Non-Residential
Clearance Form to enable us credit your account directly by
telegraphic transfer or through any of our corresponding banks and
send copies of the funds transfer release documents to you and your
bankers for confirmation.
Should you follow our directives, your funds will be credited and
reflect in your bank account within five (5) bank working days from
the day you obtain this Non-Residential Clearance Form.
For further details and assistance on this Remittance Notification,
kindly forward your
