Hello Paul !!! How - you today? I hope, that all - is good. I also am happy today because I have the letter from you. I have written to me! I very happy. Now I work, and I write the letter to you. Last time I have not had time to add to you the letter. I hope this time to me will not prevent to make it. And so. I did not write to you about my family.
But I think that you should know about it, and now I am going to make it. I have been given birth also dews to Ukhta. Now I live here. I do not make remember my father because he did not live with us. I was grown only by my mother. We were the best friends on the ground, we were very much the friend close to the friend. But my mum had a cancer of a stomach, and she has died in 2007. Year was horrable for me. I, though I was the unique person on the whole planet. It was awful and incredible. I could not understand it for long time. I was empty. It is difficult to imafine for ideas in my head and my feelings. Even now I remember my mum very much frequently. You know, that I had very happy childhood. My mum and I went in park together. We play together various games. We spoke much. Only than, several years I started to understand last, that she felt qulity because I had no father with me.
But I have received news from other people, that it was no mistake of my mother. My father (I cannot name his "daddy") never loved my mum.
Me has left her lonely when he has learned, that my mum was the pregnant woman. It was very difficult for her to bring up me, to feec me to buy me of a dress for this reason I do not carry bosh. We lived only her tiny earnings. But we never complained of our life - we have solved all problems together. But if we were happy, that we tried to tell about our success to our neighbours. My mum always spoke me, that I should marry the person which I shall love. She adviced I to besure in the person before movement to marry him. I think the same. I shall remember the moment during long time. I shall never forget mine eyes of mother when my leg has been broken also I couldn " t, go. Then we were far from our house up to, collects berries. Only my mum and I.
But she has taken me on her hands and bore mine to our house. You can imagine it? To me there were 12 years when my mum was carry of me duringan hour. I have understood, that it was difficult to her, but she did not want to leave me alone in a wood to go in the house, to ask whom - that the help. She was afraid, that something awful happen with me in a wood. I hope which you understand, that memory of my mum road for me. After death of my mum I feel very much lonly because I have no neither sisters, nor brothers. To be more exact, I have no any relatives. But I have friends. They Elena and Natalya. They are remarkable girls. We can name us sisters because we are friends more than 15 years, and we help each other. I - confident absolotely, that if I ask Elena, Natalya to help me they will never refuse. Our attitudes are very strong, Time has checked up them. One year ago Elena married, and her husband has taken her to his native city. We write letters each other very much frequently, but it is a pity, that we cannot see the most part the friend from the friend. But Elena has arrived to us in the spring. I taljed very much the whole week, but it was too little, we could not tell each other all events. Now Natalya and I wait for Elena the following arrival. And you, make you hawer such friends?
Also In the summer for entertainment I work in my small garden. I raise flowers. But as a hobby it certainly flowers. Roses, orchids, tulips, an aster and it is a lot of others. But main the place in a garden has my favourite flowers, has raised also an orchid. The hope you can sometime see it. It is a pity, I can write more. I hope, that you will answer my letter. I also hope, that you are interested in our connection. I shall tell to you more about my life in my ambassador of letters. I think, that you are tolerant (smile).

Hi Paul! How are you? What is the weather like today in your country? I hope all is well. Today it was small a Rain. But it did not last long. Now the air is fresh outside and I'm glad that I can sit near the window and write a letter to you. Today I have had a difficult day, but now i'm free and I can spend my time writing you. Today it is cloudy outdoors that's why I am in a lyrical mood. By the way I'm sorry for my previous letter. It was sad. I did not want to make you disappointed. I hope you did not get offended to my story about the mother. Well, I'm in a good mood and I want to tell you about my hobbies. I like listening to different music. It depends on my mood and feelings. I like Russian composers such as Dunaevskiy and Chajkovsky. But I also like listening to Mozart and Bach. I think they are great composers and no body will surpass them. I like Joe Satriane as well. I suppose he is a magnificent guitar player. I hope you agree with me. I like the group “ Dire Straits ” very much. I like “ Pink Floyd ”. They are not similar to any others. There are a great number of popular musicians abroad. But I remember Russians as well. May be you heard about the Russian group "Spleen" or "Chaif." But I think the most famous Russian group abroad is “ Gorky Park ”. Probably you've heard about it. They had a great success at the beginning of 90s. By the way I like going to the cinema very much. I like Russian directors such as Tarkovsky, Konchalovsky and Mihalkov. Now days a lot of foreign films are on the screen in Russia. Foreign cinema is widely spread in Russia. I like such old American films as Gladiator, Brave Heart. Mel Gibson is a good actor. New films are also interesting to me. I have seen “ The chronicles of Riddick ” and “ Another vs Predator ” recently. I liked it. I have some favourite shows. For example - "Wildlife" from BBC. They show the most beautiful views of nature and animals. I like to watch programs about nature and animals very mach. I also prefer to watch NBA games. They are fantastic shows.
But unfortunately NBA games are not very often shown on Russian TV.
Criminal programs have the biggest rating on TV, because here TV reporters tell about crimes occurring during a day or a week, they tell about leaders and authorities of criminal business in Russia, juvenile murderers and racists, addicts, maniacs, etc. You know the level of crimes is extremely high in Russia. The majority of our country like to watch these programs. But I hate to do it. I prefer to watch some musical and entertaining shows, and as a rule they are our (Russian) programs and of course they are not known to you. Now you think that I spend my time in front of the TV screen with my mouth full of popcorn and it takes me the whole day (smile.) But it's not true. Actually I watch TV very seldom, once in a blue moon. I have no time and forces to do it. My health is the most important thing for me. I do not boast. My health is really good, and I always try to be in a good form. I jag every morning, try to spend as much times as possible in the open air. I have no car and I take a bus or whatever (I mean transport) very seldom. I take cold - not shower. I have been living in the conditions of rather cold winters and damp autumn since my childhood. Such king of climate helps to toughen my health. I do not smoke and do not take alcoholic drinks. I prefer a healthy way of life and I'm proud of it. Sewing and knitting are my hobbies if it's possible to say so. I also like to spend my free time gardening and gathering much rooms and berries. I love to ski and to skate in winter. I can speak about my hobbies for a long time. But I also want to say that I do not like some things. I do not like artful and envious people. I hate when somebody lies and deceives. I do not love cruelty and roughness. I'm not interested in people, who prefer to spend their time drinking alcohol a lot. I also do not like bad untasty meal and cloudy days (smile.) Paul I shall be glad, if you tell about you many various things for me. I want to know about you more and more. Because you my FRIEND. You agree? Friends always should know well each other.

Hi my dear Paul! Thank you very much for your letter. It brightens my day! I hope that you have the same feeling when you receive mine. And of course, I enjoy our correspondence and I am serious. I consider you to be my friend, I think that you understand me in lots of things and it's easy for me to talk to you on many topics. You can ask me any questions you want. I think that this is very important for the relationship, if both of the partners want the relationship to grow. Trust is also very important, no relationship can be strong without it. Thank you for being honest with me and from my side I can say that I will be honest with you also. I think we should try to tell each other as much as we can. I would like to know you better from inside, Paul, because you seem very interesting to me, so I have a question for you: What qualities do you appreciate in people the most? In my opinion, honesty, faithfulness, kindness, sincere and understanding are very important in people. I also think that in every relationship trust plays the main role. That's why I think that 100 trust should be between man and woman, they should be able to say every single thing to each other, share all their joys and sorrows. If they have a problem they should try to find a solvation together. What do you think, Paul? What is your opinion? You know, Paul, I think that age is very important in the relationships. I think that the man should be older than the woman. As for me I prefer my future husband to be older than I am. Older men know how to treat the girl right, they know what the girl wants. It’s much more interesting to talk to them. And there is one more thing. I am looking for the serious relationships and guys of my age they normally want just to have fun, they don’t have any serious intentions, they don’t think about future. I don’t like it. I am not against fun, of course, every person needs rest, but not all the time.
You probably understand me. What do you think am I right, Paul? My dear Paul, please, tell me more about you. What are your goals and dreams?
What are you looking for? And what are your intentions? It will be very interesting for me to know. If it's not hard, please, answer these questions for me. And feel free to ask me anything, I'll answer you with great pleasure. I will be looking forward to your letter!!!!
Sincerely,Valentina

Hi my dear Paul!! Thank you very much for your letter and your tender words and care.
You are so sweet to me, it is so pleasant for me to read your letters, when I close my eyes I can see you saying this to me, it makes me feel very good. That's a great feeling, I am thanking God that you are in my life. Even though we are far from each other in reality, in my dreams we are together, we are walking together at some nice place in the nature holding hands and saying tender and warm words to each other. I feel that you are very special to me, I need to read your letters like I need air or water for living. I couldn't even think that something like that could happen to me. Thank you that you are, Paul. You know, Paul, I don't think that the outside beauty is the most important thing, you can be beautiful for some time, even the most beautiful, but in some years this beauty will go away, there will be other people who are going to be looking better. I think that the real beauty is inside your soul, that what stays forever. The person should be beautiful from inside, in my opinion. Don't you agree with me, Paul? Paul, I see in you the person who I can talk easily with, who is interesting for me, the one who is making me want to know you more and more. I would like to know your soul, I would like to know everything about you. I see that you are not playing with me or joking around, many of our thoughts are the same, our values are very close and we are looking for the same things, we both are looking for the special one. I see that I can establish the emotional connection with you, I can talk to you on any topic, it's very easy for me, it seems like I know you for a long time. I like your thoughts about life and relationships between man and woman. By your letters I can say that you are a decent man with serious intentions. I like that in you. I think that we are even a little bit alike in that. I am also serious about our correspondence.
I like to read your letters and I think that I will really like to talk to you in person, you seem to be an intelligent and well educated person. I hope that some time we are going to meet. OK, Paul, I am finishing my letter now and I hope that you are having a great day! I am thinking about you and I am really happy that we've met! This thought makes me smile :) Hope to hear from you soon! With hugs, Valentina ...

My dear Paul, today I could not receive your letter because my mail did not work.
I do not know, for what reason it has occurred? Tell at you there were any problems with mail?
Natalya advised to me to create for itself a new mail box. She has told, that it will make easier, than to try to restore my old mail box. I very much worried that I can not write to you more.
Now you know my new address and can send me the letters again.
I ask you be attentive and send the letters for me to this address: Valentina I will wait for your letter...... Valentina. PS. BE ATTENTIVE (Valentina ) ANY MORE DOES NOT WORK!!!

Hi my dear Paul!!! How are you doing today? What’s new? I am fine over here and I was very glad to hear from you because I miss you very very much!!! I am thinking about you all the time, you are very dear to me. Paul, you know, today I woke up with sun beams that were coming out of my window and my first thought was about you! :) I was laying in my bed and thinking, imagining that may be some wonderful day we’ll be waking up together like this and the first thing you will do when you wake up is kissing me and wishing me a good morning and I will do the same for you. You know, Paul , I liked that thought :) Who knows, may be some day it will be the reality? How do you think? Would you like that, ***? OK, my dear, I am finishing my letter and I will be looking forward to your reply!!! I miss you! With sweet thoughts about you, Valentina.

Dear mine Paul!!! Today I went in travel agency and again have learned, that it to be necessary for me for arrival in your country. People have convinced me of travel agency, that we can be together. I am in good mood. I Has asked them once again, how much it would cost for me to make visa.
They said that only the examination of application for visa will cost me 30 usd. This money will not be returned even if the application is rejected. To gat visa I must go to Moscow where is the Embassy.
I'll to visit a lot of agencies, offices and organization in Ukhta in Moscow. This is the usual way to get visa, it may take me many months.
I said to them that I could wait for a long time. And they offered me to solve the problem and it will take me less time if I use Full Package of Service (FPS.) FPS includes additional payments for a category of the visa, consular services, preparation for interview with commission. FPS costs 360 usd, but the visas agency remove all the problems and thus increases the chance of getting a visa without excessive delays (I can get a visa in a week or two). I thought for a long time and came to the conclusion that this variant is the only right for me. Whether I do not know correctly has made, having paid such money. Probably I needed to consult to you all over again. But I have thought that other exit is not present. For a cheap payment documents are very for a long time made. We do not have time to wait.
I agreed and registered my application for visa, hoping that you'll be glad to meet me. Can you imagine that we'll spend some weeks together Or even can all life. For the sake of happiness and family I am ready on many things. I very much would dream that you all life were only near to me.. I'm immensely happy when I'm thinking about the opportunity. I'll be everything myself? May be you think I try to do too quickly, probably you suppose it's too earty everything us to meet each other. But I cannot wait for ages, I'm happy now at present time.
Necessary to begin moving to howe something in your life, it's important to go ahead, to overcome difficulties to take aim. Very soon I'll leave the work and I'll be able to spend my vacation with you, Paul. I have never been abroad. but now I have a chance to meet you.
It's a dream. You are my friend, and friend sometimes meet each other.
I think it will be great, wonderful, fantastic. I hope you do not think that I'm too impudent. I just want to met you and to spend some time with you. I suppose you have not changed your attitude towards me after this letter. I'm looking forward to seeing to calm down my heart. Please tell me you be able to meet me? Will you be happy to face me? I hope you'll!!! Your Valentina.

Hi my dear Paul!
You have sent a photo, but I cannot open. Why??
I talked to Natalya about you Paul for a long time yesterday in the evening. I told her that I wanted to meet you. Natalya supported me in my desire. She said that I could't miss a chanse to see you. Natalya is very glad that I've got acquainted with you. She wants me to be happy.
I hope, Paul, that one day you and Natalya will be friends. I believe that Natalya be as close to you as to me. Now I often think of you before sleeping. I am glad, that you were not against I have chosen Full Package of Service. I very much experienced. But I so would like to speed up process and somewhat quicker to be near to you... I do not think your feelings premature. Because I too test to you strong feelings. I not hesitating can tell that I love you. For me a great honor to get acquainted with such fair, open, kind person as you....
Now I with impatience wait for the notice from travel agency. For me days became very long. I want that have faster flown by days of expectation. I want to inform you date of my start faster..I think about our letters to each other. I often ask myself what will be then, when we'll fase. Paul, you know I have a flower Herbicin at home. It's very beautiful, and it needs much care. Now I call it Paul. I hope you are not againstof it. Every morning I say to it "Good morning, Paul".
It's pity that it can't speak to me. It's very interesting how long would we be able to talk when we met for the first time. What do you think of it? It seems to me that I want to tell you much and it will take me several days to tell all about myself.But I'm shy and can be confused when I'll meet you for the first time. But I think that we are mare than friends that is why we will be able to speak of what we want. I saw a plane not long ago. And I thought that these "Iron birds" allow to meet million peaple who are happy to see each other every day (for example Paul and I). But when I think about my future flight on board the blane I can't forget last catastropher of two planes. These incidents were in September. It was terrible to see grief and tears of relatives of the dead people. Now our government is sure that terrorist acts took place hare. I believe that guilty people were severely punished. They have no right to prevent peaceful people from living. I hate terrorism and violence! You should know that fear of terrorists will never stop me. I'll be able to fly on board the plane and to be afraid of nothing. In my childnood I was flyining by plane. But people sai that flights are if it's true. I heard that passangers are very well served during the flight. I'm interested to see it. Sorry, but now I don't know exact date when I can arrive to you. But I shall necessarily inform when I can. Hope you can patiently wait? I'm ready to give much to know precisely when I can see you. Your love Valentina.

Hi my Paul !!!! Thanks you for your letters, is very pleasant for me, that you have appeared in my life. You became dear to my heart. I any more do not see the life without you. Yesterday I went on film. "THE GREAT GATSBY". You looked this film? I have not absolutely understood sense of it cinema because thought absolutely about the friend. I all the day think of our meeting. I cannot more about anything think. I am glad that you approve my act. It is difficult for me . Therefore I always wait for your approval. After your approval I receive moral simplification. I have paid for promptness because I want to be with you as soon as possible. I had this feeling long before our conversation on a meeting. After I have sped up this process, I began to experience. It seemed to me, that you can count me as the impudent woman. I experienced that . Now I every day go to travel agency and I try to find out I skin the information concerning readiness of my documents. Today to me have told that probably tomorrow the day after tomorrow me will cause silt on interview in embassy. I was very glad to receive such information. Now day for me lasts as a month as I think all about our long-awaited meetings. I finish the my dear letter. I ask do not buy anything!! When I will arrive we together we will choose!! My address

Hello my love Paul . Dear Paul , I have received your electronic letter . I was very glad to read him . Your letters install to me unlimited quantity of confidence. Having read them I become the omnipotent person. Very much has changed from the moment of our acquaintance. I, think, that I began to live only after acquaintance to you. Till this time I only existed. After our acquaintance my life has sharply changed in the best side. It has noticed not only I. My fellow workers, my friends, even my patients - all have noticed change in my life. Everyone ask the same question. It is interesting to all why I look so happy....
From road I am very tired. I as have reached a house and have gone to bed. I think that I knowingly have visited to Moscow. From trip I still had many positive emotions. I when did not go on so important affairs, therefore strongly worried. On road to Moscow I with anybody did not communicate because thought of interview in embassy. I experienced that any failure can visit me. I was afraid that can give up to me in reception of the visa. But my experiences appeared are vain. On interview to me did not give the exact answer. In a corridor I have waited the person which was in the commission and he has told, that I should not worry. Has told that in two or three days representatives of embassy will contact travel agency and will cause me to Moscow for reception of the visa. Therefore I have gone home with quiet soul. Now I need to wait the answer from embassy then it is necessary to buy the ticket in your country, to go again to Moscow to receive the visa and to wait day of a start. The second trip to Moscow does not deliver me of inconvenience. The ticket to me will need to be bought in Ukhta from representatives of travel agency. To take off I should from the Moscow airport because I will need to come in embassy and to receive the visa. It would be convenient for me to take off from the Ukhta airport but for this purpose to me some days in Moscow should to live and to wait for readiness of the visa. Moscow not city familiar to me. Hotels cost very dearly and it is terrible to me to be in Moscow one. Therefore I have chosen not absolutely convenient, but a safe variant. Today I went to travel agency and told him about trip to Moscow. They sincerely were glad for me. Unfortunately the Embassy yet did not contact travel agency. I think that has passed not enough time. I think tomorrow or the day after tomorrow representatives of embassy will cause me for reception of the visa. I want that it has taken place as soon as possible. I want to buy as soon as possible the ticket to you and to wait for day of a start. Dear if tomorrow or the day after tomorrow me will cause for reception of the visa I shall buy the ticket to you for Usa , 6 or 7 . I shall buy the ticket with a stock of 5-6 days. I shall better lead these days pending. Suddenly there will be unforeseen circumstances. Dear, I finish the letter and I shall go home. I need to prepare much for all for the period of the absence. I love you and I want to be only with you. The feeling of love amplifies every new day . Your love Valentina.

Hi my dear Paul !!! Loved my visa is available, but I can take away her only after I shall redeem the ticket in your country.I designated my photos to make passers-by and then the driver! And why you ask?? Tomorrow or after tomorrow, I shall buy the ticket in your country but only after to me inform from travel agency, and will tell, that my documents are completely ready. For arrival to you. I every day think of our meeting with you. I know how it is to be thinking about someone all the time, I have felt that as well. So then I try to keep myself busy doing other things and it helps. I guess that's how I've been able to get along all this time without somebody special in my life. I keep myself busy with study, with friends. I have become used to it now, but not entirely. Some times I get along doing chores around the house, listening to music, or helping other people with their problems. It has been so many times that I wanted to be with someone. So as time went on, little by little I had to learn how to not feel lonely. But I have also learned that it's not all that possible. And in the same way I try to avoid getting hurt, as it has happened to me before. And that too is not all that possible. On the other side I have seen other peoples mistakes and I like to think that I wont make the same ones. I try to think of many possible results, I like to be cautious and to think ahead, but I have learned that as careful that I may be, there is always something that can go wrong. So why should I continue to hold back and not live my life like others, by going ahead with what my heart says and being as cautious as possible, right? We are only human and imperfect, all I can try is to do the best I can, with the person that best fits my way of thinking. And it would seem so strange that I could find such a person on the other side of the planet. Imagine if the Internet didn't exist, I would have never known about you and I would probably continue to live the same way forever. There is only so much happiness that one can achieve alone, but I would like to think that I could achieve so much more with you. It would be wonderful to stop dreaming about it and make it come true. So at the same time, I also think about what would be needed to make a relationship work and how to provide for as much as possible. It's not easy when other pressures are felt in a relationship. So if at first we should decide to take this beyond what it has become so far, I think it will be like awaking from a dream and trying our best to make the dream come true. Like I said before, there is a lot to talk about, a lot to learn and understand. The feeling of love is great, but it takes little bit more to have a place to live, to be healthy and have a family. I know that these are subjects that can't be decided or solved in a week, but the most important thing will be addressed, how well we get along. There is one thing that I know for sure, I like you very much and we will have a wonderful time together. Your words in every letter have shown me that we think the same way, so I truly believe that something great and long lasting will come out of this. I think about you every day and wish you were near me already. I will just have to be patient and wait for that moment to come true. With hugs and tender kisses,
Yours Valentina...

Hi my lovely Paul! I have read your letter only this morning! I want that you have understood!! I am not guilty in this situation!!! You know that I have signed the contract and tickets should be bought necessarily in Russia! Now my tickets are already bought also my start 19 October!!! As you speak it that I cannot pay even half!! You know how much I already have spent for all organisation!!! Understand that now there is a unique variant. Please help me 762 Usd that I could pay a part of money for the ticket and other part I will spend for journey and a food to Moscow and the airport! You understand it? If you knew, how much it means for me our meeting. I was prepared much, I Has made a lot of prophetic for us to be together. But I faced with Obstacle.
The clinic has not paid to me in time - the earned money, thus I do Could not buy the ticket in your country. In crisis clinic it is frequent Be late the earned money. Doctors have started to pay less money. But I still Hoping, that I can arrive to overcome and you. From my mother I The inherited jewelry. I hoped for it, can exploit Cost of these products. When mum, I leave these things, she has told it They should be useful to me during hard times. She has told if they Attack difficulties I, I can sell these things. But when I have not made Think, that I would live by such times. Or when I did not think, that I will be Sell values which leave from my mum. But when I became Understand, that you cannot rely on clinic, I have started to hope on Precious things. I thought that cost of these things to be missed To arrive to you. But their full value to the small sum of money. I insistently overturned. Owners of pawnshops enjoy the fact it under Crisis of conditions, people will throw the precious things. Hence They have an offer of very few money for gold. Cause me a pain. I regret to Tears because I have made all to our place for meetings. I or if not Asked you to help me. I hoped for own forces. But my hopes were The destroyed. I should ask you the help. But you have misunderstood me. You Has started to think awfully of me. You become, think, that they require money for My own requirements. I write you this letter and I cry indignantly. The keyboard is flooded by tears.
Nobody can help me. I was perfect one. I Was able overcome payments for the visa. I have paid for the ticket to Moscow, paying for the arrangement in Moscow when was at interview , Payment for consular payments, for the state taxes. Capable to pay money For the ticket, but at me was not approximately 762 usd. I did not want to Ask you about them money. I did not wish to be offended before You, but I could not find other way. I wished to believe in ours Meeting. I wanted the tool our plans. I wanted, that we were happy. I Nevertheless I hope, that the miracle will take place, and we can meet. Yours Valentina
