Hi Dave
I see you are interested in me and this is good because I have no a boyfriend who could make my life more happy! well I am 25 years old girl and as you can see I live in Russia. I live in the small province of city called Vladimir. it's near to Moscow. I don't have phone because it is really small place and here is no any mobile operators. so I can't call to you. what about internet I have it from tv cabel. I am cheerful girl and I like to try new thing in my life. I just don't want to be alone. I like sports to hold my body in great condition. I work in the children's shelter. I love childrens and I love my job. do you have kids? by the way I have never been married and I have no kids. I don't smoke and I don't drink. actually I can drink sometimes. but it is only one or two glasses of red wine (it is my favorite). so tell me do you smoke or drink? I just want to know you closer and this is why I am asking these questions. if you have any questions to me feel free to ask. I am honest and I don't have anything to hide from you. we have to be serious here if we have decided to write to each other. I am serious in my intentions. I would like to see your pictures so if you have any please send to me. ok I have to go and I will look forward to hearing from you again. have a nice day and I will answer you as soon as I see your answer. bye.

Hello Dave
it was very pleasant to read your mail. I am very glad you wrote back to me. because honestly I am interested in getting know your better. and hope you don't mind :) well I would like to see some of your photo. I hope you will send it to me. I don't know what to answer at your question. but I can exactly say that I would relocate to meet my mate :) hope this is answer. I like to try new things in my life and I don't like to get boring. always I try to cheer up myself when I am sad. I work eight hours in day six days in week. as I wrote I love my job because I love children and this is very good to help them. but I don't make a lot of money here. and sometimes I can't buy some things which I really want to buy. but anyway I love my job. I like sports and I go to aerobics three times at week. it makes my body perfect and I hope you can see that in my photos. also I like swimming and skiing. what about other things I like listening to the music and I like to go to the cinema. in music I like classical music (mostly russian composers). it lets me calm down everytime when I listen this. and also I like photographing. I think you already understand that from my photos :) but I am not a model at all. I just like to take photos as each girl I think. so what about you? what type of music do you like? my parents live far away from me. it is about 230 km from my city. I love them and when I miss them I go to meet them. you are very interesting to me and I'd love to continue our correspondence and I'd like to know more information about you. ask me what you want so we could learn each other better to become closer. I will wait your letter. take care.

Hi Dave

I like your letters and it tells me that you like to write me. thanks for your photo. please tell me do you like me as a girl? I mean do you like my pictures and my personality? I think you've already took some decision on this because I have told a lot of things about me. I like you and your letters. and I am very glad I've met you. I hope you would like to continue our relations. I want you to know about my past relations. you can see that I am honest with you and as I told you I have no anything to hide. I had a boyfriend here and it was for 2 years. we stopped this six months ago. we didn't have anything in common and he didn't respect me at all. when he got bad day he began to raise a voice on me. and then my friend saw him with other girl. all I said him then was goodbye and don't try to speak with me. it was a treachery from his side and I will never forgive this. I hate lie and treachery. I don't like to remember this but if we are honest with each other. you can tell me about your past relations if you would like. I will never hurt a man who is close to me and to my heart. I will never do any bad to him and I will make him happiest man at this world. well in my free time I like to do my hobbies. I can play piano and I like it very much. by the way I am 170 cm tall. I am very glad to get your letters everyday and it is pleasant that you think of me.
I will wait your next letter. bye. kisses.

I see children everyday and I love them. but I want to have my kids. and I haven't found a man who will make me happy and who would love to create a family with me and have a children. my parent ask me everytime about my private life. I think they want to have grandsons. Russia is not good place and I don't want to have family here. because life here is so hard and I don't want this for my kids. I would love to leave this country. I will be good wife and I will make my husband happiest man at this world and I will make our home the best place at this world. I like children and I don't have any harmful habits. I like to cook and I like to make my place clean. I am very responsible person. I always finish every beginning. my parents grew me up in good traditions.

Hi Dave
I think it would better if we will meet in seven or eight days because it is my vacation time and it is not so long. we shouldn't take a long time here. I am ready to come to you and meet you. I just can't pay total price for my ticket to you. I need to have extra 350 euro for my trip to you and it would be good if you help me with this money. you could send this money to me and then I will fly to you and we could meet and spend the time together. and then we will see where we go and what we want from this life. we will make our relations together and create a family. and if everything will be ok and if we will be happy together I could stay at your country with you and create our family. and be happy with you. if you want all this so I wait your letter with your thoughts. I think we will make good pair together. so I want to meet you and I will wait your letter with impatience. kiss you.

hello Dave
it's nice to hear again from you. thank you for the letter. and I am glad to hear you would like to meet me too. but remember we meet as a friends at first right. and then see if we grow up in our relations. I just want you to remember that. having a week with you is great. well I checked for flights to London and the airport was Heathrow. and now you write me that you will meet me at this airport. so it's good. and I hope it's ok for you too. well thanks for your care and it's nice to read you would like to help me with ticket. but as I wrote you before I need this money (350 Euros) to pay my ticket. so this way I have a small part to pay ticket. no I don't need any more money. I will be glad if you will help me with that amount. and this way I will have some rest to keep it with me during the trip. if I will keep this rest till I meet you I will return all your money back to you. just want you to know that. so it would be more comfortable for me and you I think if you send this money to me. this way I will pay my ticket completely and I will have some rest in cash. if it's ok for you please tell me. I can't want to meet you too. I have never met such a nice, caring and wonderful man as you before. ok I have to go. I will be looking forward to hear from you. kisses
Elena

p.s. here is a photo taken a week ago at my friends birthday party. I am on the left. in the center is my friend (her birthday) and in the right her sister. hope you still like me and not being liked my friends :)

hello Dave
it was very nice to read your letter. believe I have never met anyone who would be so gentle and very attentive in talking with me. and of course it is so pleasant for me. I can see you have got a good education and you know how to treat woman in a good way. thank you for so nice letter. it makes me pleasant everytime. you are so lovely and sweet and I feel more impatient to meet you. I will take your care when we are together with a great pleasure. well I've started making documents I will need to fly to you this morning. and as I said you before it will be ready till the next Friday. and if it will be so I will be in Heathrow after next week-end. I wish this time would go more faster :) what about money. first of all I want you to know how I appreciate that you helps me to get there. actually I am used to pay everything by myself but here is such situation.. I didn't expect this at all. but I am glad you understand me. so I think you should know what is western union and to use it. I want you to ask to use this to help me. because I don't have another way. we have western union office in Vladimir. and I hope you have it there too. I used it before when I got some money from my parents when I was at the Black Sea last summer (I think I wrote you about that). you need to know my information to send it. here is it:

my full name is Elena Shilova
my country is Russia
zip code is 600000
street address is Lenina 21-76

so please write this information to your notebook because you shouldn't make any mistakes in writing that. you know they will check my information with my ID. and as soon as you did this transfer write me your full information (like I wrote you mine), name of the city from there you sent this money, control number and amount which you sent. I hope you remember I need 350 euros. but I don't know how much it will be in pounds. so that's all. I think so.. :) if you already know how to use it I am sorry :) well I am glad to hear that you still like me and not my friends. I am very glad to hear that. I have to go now and I will wait your next letter. kiss you.
Elena

hello Dave
thanks for your letter. well it sounds really strange. because as I said you before I used Western Union before and they didn't ask for any passport scanes etc. but anyway I have made my international passport copy and now I am sending this to you. I hope it will be ok for you and for Western Union. I want to thank you for trying to help me. you are very nice and I hope we will meet each other finally. without any problems on our way. how are you doing today? how is your weather? it's rain here today. and I am little sad you know.. I would like to spend such rain days with someone whom I like.. I would like to spend it with you :) so here is my passport copy. I will wait your letter. thank you again for trying to help me. because.. I don't know how to describe that. but I hope you can understand me. kiss you.
