In this note we study polarization properties of radiation scattered on relativistic electrons in a hot cloud. The electron distribution is considered isotropic in the cloud comoving frame. We derive simple formulae for frequency-integrated Stokes parameters I, Q and U of the scattered radiation. The last parameter V vanishes because the resulting polarization is linear. The Stokes parameters are evaluated in the polarization frame comoving with the cloud, whose one basis vector is pointed along the direction of the scattered radiation and the two other basis vectors lie in the perpendicular observation plane. The incident unpolarized radiation comes into the formulae as components of the stress-energy tensor with respect to this reference frame. Our results are illustrated on a simple example of a cloud illuminated by a single beam of radiation.
