# Details: first email:Hello! What is your name? Thank you for reply!it is my first time I try to
  correspondence with man in internet world.
  I do hope you will be enough patient to understand me.my friend helped me to
  send my letters to different people and
  I do hope that I will be able to meet good man!I see that you sent short enough
  answer and I think
  It is all right because you are astonished to get my letter.I want you to
  know that I have only good intentions and I have not any great secrets.The
  thing is that I will work abroad for three months or so and I
  would like to meet a nice man to be my guide or just be closest
  friend.I think that it is hard enough to live in foreign town and I am from so
  small town here
  in Russia,I am afraid to be lost.I don't want to live in Russia because I have
  not any chances here,it is hardly possible to
  explain from first time but I want you to know my plans.I will work in any shop.
  I will know exactly later.
  agency help me to get a visa and all travel documents.My best friend ( I will
  send the
  picture of her later) last year met the man from USA when she worked
  there for three months too. She had two jobs. From morning till 4 pm she worked
  in amusement park and after
  it she worked as a waitress in some bar till midnight. She was very tired of
  course but made very good money there.
  It is special programm for young people who wants to work abroad and I think it
  is the right way for me ,I am lost here,and I think that I
  look pretty enough to find a better place .I want to repeat the same way,it is
  only
  my chance to meet to change my life.I am full of plans and different dreams.I
  have real blonde hair and blue eyes,sometimes my
  friends call me Barby.to be fair I don't like this name .
  I think that you will be not disappoined to meet me in the real life!
  Well,I will close this letter and I do hope to get your reply.
  I will leave russia in a few days or so (I can't tell you everything exactly
  right now) and I would like to be sure that I
  have the man who waits for me there. I will work all day and I want to find a
  man to spend all free time together to get
  to know each other better.if you have any interest to meet me I will be
  more than happy to meet you too.My be it sounds silly but I just don't want to
  be alone in the evenings,and I want to be sure
  in advance that somebody waits for me!
  I will tell you all details about me and my life if you like my
  pictures and want to meet me! it is my real personal mail address please use
  this one because it was my friend address and
  I would to thank her for help!
  Kiss you ,Juliya!- this my real name!!!
  second: Hello my dear Tom, thank you for so kind letter I like it. you should know
  that I am not very good writer in english,please be patient to read my messages
  and see
  many mistakes.and I am new in cyber space I am not sure I know how to use many
  things here in internet world!
  to be fair I think that ii is very hard to describe myself and one real metting
  is better than thousand words!
  in principle I am a usual girl. I think I should tell
  you about me, my interests,tastes and hobbies.I think I will tell you about
  things I want
  to know about you and you will know my future questions.
  My real name is Juliya Cepenekowa .I am 25 years
  old, my birthday is November 30, soon I will be 26.I so much don't want to get
  older ,when I can see old women I am getting crazy to think that
  it is my future .I do my best to keep my youth and I keep my body well.
  In spite of all difficultes here I am trying to be in good condititon
  and I do a lot of exercises to be in a good shape!
  I am about 168 cm tall (5.6) and my weight is about 54 kg. I've been told I look
  well enough ,
  and I think that all women have their own beaty.I have two youngest sisters
  and it is the problem for us because we
  have only two rooms flat.you can't imagine what does it mean to be born in small
  town in
  Russia,there are not any chances to live well,to get well paid job.All young
  people leave
  towns to search great luck in big cities but nobody waits for them there. I want
  to leave Russia,
  I know it sounds ugly but I know that I will be lost here
  like many young girls before me.It is not right place to grow children and have
  stable future.
  I think that in future when I know English very well I can work as fitness
  trainer I have certificate.I
  worked as trainer for two years in Vladivostok but now those Gym is closed.
  My mother is my big problem too,she has great dream to marry me(
  she thinks that soon I can be too old to marry) and she wants to make
  me happy but I think it is only my business I am not a little child.I
  don't want to marry to have the ring on my my finger I know that much
  more important to meet the man having the same dreams and plans like me!
  To be fair I am not sure I am able to explain all in first messages I want to
  say so much!
  I just want you to know that I am not afriad to work,I am fairly goal-oriented
  and I am sure
  you will be not disappoined to meet me in real life.I am going to spend three
  months
  abroad to work in any shop or hotel,agency will help me
  because it is only the way I can leave Russia.I will have all documents to
  travel
  in a few days and i will travel to moscow then. From moscow I will travel to you
  and they
  ask me about name of the city i am going to work,if you don't mind to meet me
  please
  tell me the name of your nearest international airport!I will book my flight
  from moscow!
  I think it would be so great to meet my man .I know that it is not so easy like
  I think but I think it is possible if I meet the man of my dreams and we are
  enough stubborn together.
  I want to love and to be loved I want to build our own happiness,only me and my
  man there.
  I don't smoke,I tried to smoke when I was younger. On occasions or with a good
  company I can drink some red wine.
  I try to care of my body and face.I know it is all I have .My soul may have any
  itnterst
  for you later,I think so.I am not a little girl and I know that at first almost
  all men
  look at body ,legs breast and
  face. God created males such persons. Well,I think I am lost in my letter,I am
  not sure
  you understand my goals,please feel free to ask.
  I live in Russia,town Tobolsk , house 124- flat 44,it is near big
  industrial city Vladivostok.Our town is so small (I don't know if you can find
  it on the map,
  it should be very detailed),they made submarines here before and all people had
  nice
  job but now there are not any arm orders and almost all people have
  not any job,many of them travel to Vladivostok every day to work ,it
  is about 40 minutes by bus!
  I want you to reply if you understand my mind,my intentions,my soul,if not
  please reply
  too,I will continue my searching. Well,I will close this letter,I think you are
  tired to
  read it. and If you think that I should write more shorter letters please tell
  me.
  I write from internet cafe here because there are not cafes and possibility to
  use internet in my town,we have 4 digital phone number and we can't call
  abroad. Even to call in any big town here in Russia I have to order the call in
  advance. and I would like to say
  please don't worry if I keep silence sometimes I have no time to travel to cafe!
  Please tell me more about you,your tastes,likes and dislikes .also I have a few
  impotant
  questions----
  do you like strong drinks too much?can you be very drunk?very ofthen? can you be
  rude with women?
  Well,I have to stop or I will write without ending.Kiss you !see you
  later. Juliya! I am sending picture of my friend,I have told you about her! it
  was her idea to help me to meet the man on dating site!
  I have to go now.... my mom is waiting for me. If I forgot to write you anything
  please sorry I will write it to you next time.
  It was so nice to meet you ,KIss Juliya!
  third:Hello dear Tom,
  I am so glad to see your letter again.
  I think I am a lucky girl to meet such man and I will do my best to meet you in
  real life!
  you know I can work in any city of your area because it is free choice
  and agency only helps me to get only travel documents (work visa)and
  ticket, and I do hope that we will like each other and now I have the
  destination.
  I do hope I have met my right man!you know I have told you before one of my
  friend worked abroad last year
  and have met right man,now they live there and they are going to
  marry. by the way now they are arranging the trip to Russia,(he wants to
  meet her parents and friends)I think if I feel that you are my dream and you
  have the
  same feelings we could think about our future together. if not I will
  just work and return back when the time to travel back.
  you know I am new here and I am afraid to make any mistake. I have one great
  lack,I am very impatient
  and sometimes I can act without thinking. Sometimes I think that my dream is
  getting for real
  and it is so bad to be disappointed later.
  I want you to know all small things about me because it shouldn't be any
  misunderstandings between us.
  I want you to know that I am not angel and sometimes I can show my
  character.And I don't wait that you to be
  angel too, I just want to meet a kind man .
  I am very kind and I can forgive almost all I can't forgive if my man sleep with
  different woman,
  I don't know many nessesary words in english. I hope you can read between lines.
  A little more about myself!
  my favorite activity is swimming. I like to swim in the Swimming pool very much.
  I wish we had the sea here! I
  like the sea! We have the sea near us but it is very cold one and It is
  impossible to swim.
  Sometimes I think that I was the fish in past life. I wanted to be as swim
  trainer but I've been told that
  I will have ugly body with too wide shoulders.
  I finished The Siberia State Univercity, trainers faculty as fitness
  trainer but I don't work on my profession because there are no good
  fintess clubs in my city,
  I used to sit at home and to do all housework,helping my mom. I would like to
  have good job,I may work dancing
  teacher, or trainer of fitness,you know I have a certificate.
  I worked as a trainer a year ago .
  and I would like to do it again .you know how many more younger girls want to
  get this job too!Alot of
  competition here.
  I want to tell you about things I like:
  I like to make barbecue and I so much want to have my own home with fireplace.
  usually I make very tasty ones and in principle I like to cook and it is not
  problem for me to cook something
  tasty and I don't like to visit cafes and restaurants ,at first usually they
  can't cook weel(maybe only here) and second too high price.
  I like warm weather. and my great dream is to live somewhere on
  tropical island.
  Also I want to tell you about my dislikes: I hate our long winters it seems to
  me they will never end.
  I hate lies and unfaithfulness. I hate evil people and politicans I think they
  like to play wars, I hate any
  wars.
  What I like in a man: faithfulness, honesty. He has to be open- minded and
  open-hearted, also easy-going.
  and much more important he is kind,kindness makes our world!
  are you kind?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
  I think my man should be kind ,it is great feeling after love,only kind person
  may be happy,all rude people
  are unhappy.
  or must be. A few questions yet,
  agency tells that I will have a room in nearest hotel near my future work but
  if we like each other may be
  is it possible to live together?
  I think we will enjoy life together. do you have your car?animals? I can't drive
  and I do hope you give me a
  few lessons,
  to be fair I have so many plans .I will find out all travel details about my
  flight this week.
  I will leave my town today in a two hours and i think I will be not able
  to write to you today or so. When I am in Moscow I will send you short letter to
  let you
  know that I am all right and they tell that it takes about two days to
  get all nesseary papers, please confirm your phone number and
  international airport, I want to be sure I have all your details and Please
  don't look at different girls. I am the best(joke).
  Well, I will close this letter I think I am bore today,and please feel
  free to ask. See you soon!I can't believe everything is for real.
  Sending pictures of me and my friend. to be fair I am lost and my head is like
  any big station with a lot of
  voice!Kiss Juliya!
  LOVE!
  fourth: [ok I was liken it]Honey hello!!!!!!!!!!!!
  it is me,can you believe I am in Moscow.I can't believe ,it was
  wonderful flight and they gave red vine in plane,wow,I have never tried such
  tasty one!!!!!I will
  visit travel office aftertomorrow because it is the day off
  here(saturday and sunday) and I will get all info about my Trip then.
  my friend helped me so much I am not sure I could do something without her ,it
  is so great city
  and it takes a few hours to travel from one end to other.They met me in airport
  and I had not any problems .
  They have nice car ,it is Toyota-corolla (from Japan and driver place
  on the right ,it is so funny but I think it is not comfortable for
  driver)-not new one (1993 ) it was so nice jorney from airport
  to their flat.So comfortable car,I have never been into such car!I don't
  remember if I told about her ,
  She is Tanya and we worked as trainers in Omsk ,she has met men from
  Moscow and they married,he is from moscow and they love each other very much!
  they live poor enough because of so high prices here in moscow and they have to
  rent flat,they
  don't want to live with his parents I don't know the reason and I think it is
  not my business!
  and I think if they work hard they will have enough money later because it is
  possible to earn
  here in Moscow! NOw they have money to eat only,it is strange for
  me,she has written letters that they live well,funny really .
  you can't imagine how great Moscow is,to be fair I wouldn't like to live here,a
  lot of
  cars,people ,voice and pollution.Ugly traffic and people with crazy eyes.
  When I get off plane in airport MOscow polisemen asked about passport and
  they looked at me
  like I am any enemy.they don't like foreign visitors I mean from small
  town they think that they are so important to live here,I have heard
  about it many times and now I can see it.I am not sure how but they
  can see that I am not from moscow!
  Tanya tells me that it is great risk
  to travel abroad without right knowelege and it is like any adventure.
  She tells that I can find good job here in Moscow with help of her husband and
  she tells that I am not right to travel to you because everything is not so easy
  like I think,
  they have much more info here about world's life and she tells me ugly stories
  about young women
  who wanted to get new life and now they must work as prostitutes.
  I think people living in Moscow are very caution,I think so. and look
  at their life I wouldn't like to stay here because it is almost the
  same ,only great city,but the same people and the same problems.
  and I think that I have done my choice.
  you know I am not coward I am not afraid I know it is my chance to meet kind man
  .I do hope I am
  right.
  and I think you are too kind to make any bad things I feel it.I feel all and I
  am sure that she
  is not right.
  to be fair I think she is a little envy that I am going abroad ,you know all
  women envy each
  other.
  Well,I will close this letter ,!see you soon!KISS . Great kiss from
  moscow!!!!!!!!!!Juliya! see you on monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Many
  kisses for my
  beloved man!!!
  I am thinking of our meeting only!!!!I made few photos here in moscow,
  i hope you like it !!!! I am so excited and I can't think well,my head is
  full of different thoughts!
  P.S.Important thing,please confirm the name of airport,and your info
  where I can call and ask you because I think if everything will be all
  right I will travel to you in a few days!

  you longer than three months,maximum I can stay about 6 months for
  first time! We should change only the date of my returning flight.
  Or I can return earlier if something is wrong!
  you may send it to any bank of Moscow. I have been to the bank to try to
  learn something
  and they tell me that it is very easy they tell so,I am not sure I know all
  well,but they tell it
  is not a problem to do. They gave the address of Western Union office
