  Hello my love Steve! I have received your letter, it is full of
  emotions of heat and sympathy to me. I start to understand, that my life is
  not meaningful without you because I love you. I think, that during
  that time, that we with you write, each other we have much gone through
  together and between us the feeling has appeared. I think, that we are
  necessary each other. I constantly think of you. I spoke with mum about
  that that, probably, I shall leave, she only were glad for me, she
  thinks, that it and is my happiness. I to tell to mum about you much, she
  knows, that you the good person and will care of me when I shall arrive
  to you. My mum trust to you completely and consequently she not against
  that I visited you in your country and releases me to you with quiet
  soul. Mum knows, that near to you I shall be in safety. Besides my mum
  sees all, how I love you strongly and as I always with alarm go to
  Internet - cafe to see your letters, and what happy I come after perusal of
  your message as I all light with happiness, that you at me are my
  lovely. Mum knows, that I shall be happy only with you, she truly wishs us
  with you of good luck. Today I all the day long thought only of you, how
  we shall meet you. I to represent it to myself as you meet me at the
  airport a bouquet of scarlet roses as we search, each other eyes, we find
  and we rush in embraces each other. Now I went to Agency and at once
  have decided to write to you that to me there have told. To me have told
  in Agency to travel to the Great Britain for visiting to me it is
  necessary to show, that:
  
  1 I want to visit the Great Britain within no more than 6 months.
  2 I to intend to leave the Great Britain at the end of my visiting.
  
  With the visa of visiting I can usually enter and leave the Great
  Britain any quantity of times while all this is still valid. Visas of
  visiting can be valid within 6 months, one year, two years, five years or ten
  years. But as I never visited{attended} the Great Britain before the
  visa visiting only for the period of 6 months will be given out to me.
  
  That I should do my application:
  
  1 To fill in the application in the form (VAF1).
  2 my passport and the document of travel.
  3 Photo (45mm x 35mm).
  4 Payment the visa of 100 pounds sterling. It cannot be compensated,
  and I should pay it at once at submission of the application and all
  above mentioned documents for registration on the visa.
  5 Tickets of the plane there and back. I should have necessarily the
  ticket of the plane in a way back as I am obliged to return in Russia on
  expiry of the term of action the visa. Cost of tickets of the plane
  will cost for me 500 pounds sterling. Here enters: a return ticket and
  also insurance during flight. All completely I to require for trip to you
  of 600 pounds sterling.
  
   Unfortunately, I cannot arrive to you now because for application for
  registration of the visa and registration of all documents, are
  necessary money in the sum of 600 pounds sterling which now at me are not
  present. I to not know, that to me to do now, I very much to want to arrive
  to you my love, but I to not have savings in the sum of 600 pounds
  sterling to pay the visa independently and from it to me is very sad on
  soul and my heart suffers. And consequently it is necessary to wait, when
  I can find this money, but I am not sure, that I can find such sum.
  Those who follows to the Great Britain with the visa of visiting, should
  specify, where they are going to stop. As I am going to visit you I need
  to know your exact home address and your full name, and the address of
  the airport nearest to you where I should arrive. I very much you ask
  to send me this information. When I shall come to you we with you
  together can start to learn each other better in the person, I think, that we
  are created the friend for the friend. Time will show all and probably
  we would marry with you in the future and have got happy family. Also I
  hope, that we can create the happiest family together. My favourite
  food stuffs: cheese, a ham, sausage, a potato. Meat, greens, vegetables,
  fruit, I also very much to love seafoods. In mine time I is free to like
  to meet with my friends and girlfriends, we with them go to theatre. On
  exhibitions of art, also cinema or visiting some cafe or a bar is
  simple. We always cheerfully to spend with them time, if in the street good
  weather we can take a walk simply along the street or on shops. In the
  days off we this my small hobby sometimes likes to go by horses. I very
  much to like to prepare my love and I very much would like to treat you
  with my food. I am sure, that you will stay very pleased with my
  kitchen. I am glad that you liked to hear my voice my love, I to do it
  specially for you in mp3 a format.
   Today fine day, but me it is sad, because we with you so far apart.
  Between us huge distance, but in the ideas I with you and you - always in
  my heart.. I to love you and for ever in your ideas. I wait your letter
  it important for me.
