Who would know as me hurt and bitterly. What I shall be tomorrow? " I only "animal" who is compelled to go forward in searches of food ". Tenderness and caress are necessary for me warmly... I any more do not remember, that this such... Nobody wants to present me it. To me give all but it. I so want to love. I shall soon forget it make. Surrounding force to forget about all fine. I do not see in this world of a place for myself....! But with your occurrence I have received hope that I can be happy in the relations with you and have normal family. Forgive that has not told to you earlier but I the orphan as I do not have parents. On an extent all of the life also struggled for a life to existence. At me never was own house where always there is Mum and the Daddy. Looking on the friends I always wanted that I had parents which me will bring up. In the childhood I lived in a shelter for orphans.

So after sendingthe money I heard how another $500 was needed to go to Moscow to attend for an interview for the visa. Again like a fool I payed up!!

When she did not arrive and I wrote angrily she had the gall to send this

Hello my dear XXXXX !
Yes I am valid scammer and you correctly thought of me. I very much regret that so it has
turned out between us because I am sure that you good the man, kind, tender and are
capable to care of the woman.
Probably now our correspondence to stop, though it was very pleasant for me to communicate
with such good the man as you XXXXX.
But before to stop our correspondence, I want that you knew that I really communicated
with the man because of a problem which now occurs in my life.
My daughter the invalid and for this reason I required money. In Russia it is very
difficult to earn money for operation that my daughter was greeting and for this reason I
have decided to use the Internet for this purpose.
Forgive me XXXXX, that has not told about it at once. But I thought that my problems are
not necessary for you and you stop to write letters. So I have decided to use other chance
- our meeting. I heard about it much, that in Russia in such a way it is possible to earn
money, and have decided to try.
Please be not upset my dear XXXXX. I have told to you the truth and now I have again
remained one together with a daughter the invalid. Do not think of me poorly, I only try
to earn a little money in such a way.
I know now you me will condemn, that I bad, that I can not earn money fair work. But it is
simply impossible to earn such sum being in Russia.
It is very a pity to me, I liked to communicate with you and please forgive me. Now I have
understood that have made a huge mistake.
If you would like you can write the letter because it will be pleasant for me to receive
your answer.
Maria.
