Scam letter(s) from Inna Grigoreva to Ronnie (USA)
Letter 1
Ronnie!!! Hello from Moscow! I'm so happy I started my trip! Now I have more time to write you.
I settled down, I rent a small room and it's not that expensive.
Moscow is very nice city and the weather here is very good now. I thought maybe I will feel myself here uncomfortable because I come from a small city but I'm OK here. Moscow is very big city and there are a lot of people here, anyway it's not as disturbing for me as I thought.
I'm a little bit lonely here because I understand I will not meet my family for a long time. I hope I will meet you soon and I will be not so lonely and you will tell me about my country...
Now I can write you more information about my trip.
I will get a work visa for nurses so I will be able to work as a nurse or if that's not possible as I told you I will work as a waitress.
I think it will be not easy to find a work as a cosmetologist and I've heard it's more easy to find a job as a nurse, what do you think? I've been told it's very well paid job.
I have a medical diploma and Higher education and I'm a registered nurse. I have an experience to work as a nurse although last two years I'd been working as a cosmetologist. I've been told if something will not works out I will be able to find another job as a waitress or something like this. I will be able to stay over there during six months and then I can prolong my visa or change my status.
I only didn't expect I will stay here for several days more because I have to pass different English test and so on. I will be able to fly to you only in few days. As soon as I have all correct info about my flight I will inform you.
Please confirm your information again and write me the name of your closest Airport (maybe international).
I'm afraid I can mix something up please confirm.
Also please confirm your phone number.
In my turn today I will learn everything about international calls and calling cards and I will try to call you if you want. I've never made international calls before.
I don't remember if I wrote you I don't smoke and never tried smoking although smokers doesn't bother me.
I drink socially... maybe a little wine or something like that...
usually on big holidays.
I know how to take care about one's health and I'm healthy without any diseases or disabilities.
Do you like to drink fresh juices? What is your favorite one? I like pineapple juice, although I drink it now often because pineapples are expensive here.
As for food I told you I like to cook. I like Italian food, I think many people like it. I've been told maybe times I'm a good cooker!
What is your favorite food? I mean maybe Italian, Chineese?
I asked a ******* the street to take my picture in the center of Moscow!! I'm sending it!!!
Plus today I'm sending more pics but they were taken not today!
One pic is me with my grandmother and grandfather (by my mother's side) and two pics near our home in the garden.
Sorry my pics are not so good... I've never had a digital camera.
I'm so attracted to you and I can't wait till we meet each other and I can touch you.. I can look into your eyes! I want to ask you many questions!
I think you are very good man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I imagine our first meeting often... how it will be??? I don't know!
But I'm sure it will be wonderful!!! Yours,
Nadia

Letter 2
Hello! I want to write few words before I go to the travel agency. I miss you so much and I'm very excited we will meet each other possibly this week!!! Soon I will go to learn some info about my trip and I will write you when I get it.
I walked a lot and I've seen many nice places in Moscow.
I tried to see as much sightseeings as I can. Maybe I will never have such chance to stay in Moscow for several days.
The weather is very nice here! In my native city it's a bit colder now and it was raining over there. In Moscow it's very sunny weather!
I'm sending two more pics, they were taken near Moscow river (in Russian it's called Moskva-reka) at day time and another one at the evening.
I can't wait to meet you! I would be happy to be your girlfriend if you like me!!!!

I can't say I'm too much nervous. I know you are waiting for me and I hope you will tell me everything about your country and show me some nice places over there.
I will travel eco class, I hope my flight will be OK. It's so many hours to spend on the plane, I've never done such big flights.
As far as I remember it was about five hours to fly to Egypt from my city and it's the longest flight I've done.
I wrote already all info about my visa. I will be able to stay over there during six months and then I can prolong my visa or change my status.
I'm happy I have a job lined up and I hope everything will works out!
I want to meet you and talk to you and get to know you better.
I feel we will like each other, at least I hope so.
If you decide you know me not well enough to want to stay just friends with me I will stay in hostel for nurses.
But I hope you will like me!!!!!!!!!! I have a good feeling about it!
I've learnt how to make international calls. I've been told not all public phones and suitable to do this and I've been told which one I can use not far from the place where I'm staying.
If you want me to call you just tell me and I will try to call you!
Also will you pick up the phone or someone else and I should ask to talk to you?
As I wrote you I will come later this week and I will stay here for several days.
So now I have to make final arrangements with my documents.
I told you I passed all tests, I have all documents I need to get a job and everything.
Please try to help me to finish my arrangements.
And I need to pay for this flight. I thought they can pay for my flight because it's a work program but such possibility was available for nurse visas. The limit of such payments already expired this year and they said I should pay it by myself.
My mom can't help me to pay for my trip, she is lonely, my father passed away I wrote you. And my sister has to pay all expenses for her kids and everything. Please try to help me, you are my only hope!
I will wait for your help today!!!!!!!!!!!!
