Hello my love Rusty! Hello my Angel!!! I have received your letter and I understand that I am only begin to live. At us with you still only begins. Now I find sense in life. I not represent any more life without you, my Angel!  I love you, and I am ready to repeat these words again and again! Please, to not think poorly of me, simply it overflow my feelings Today I talked to mum about us with you and about our future and that probably I soon leave in other country. You do not think that I solve it spontaneously, I very long think of it. I do not want to miss the happiness again. I talked to mum and she is very happy for me, she even bless me. It can is silly sounds, but today I represented our meeting. I think out very many interesting pictures. In the street there is a fine weather and you stand and wait for me in the airport and worry for my arrival. Then you approach to the plane, we look around And we search eyes each other in crowd, then with to become transfixed hearts we find each other and to rush into strong embraces. We stand having embraced, and all look at us. And for us as though nothing exist. Only you and I!!! It was a great day when I received the first letter from you I thank the God and I know that I found you and I love you. I am pleased with an opportunity to meet you soon, and I want it very much I think you want it too, your letters was the ray of light in my life. At first I was not interested in moving to other country but I will do it because I found my love and it's YOU!!!  We have firm in our city which makes the documents for people who want to leave the country. I asked about moving to your country and I got the answer that I need the visa, foreign passport and some other documents for registration. We have defined a type of the visa and it's type which allows to marry in the future but if it will be not realize I must return to my country after ninety days it's limit for visa. I asked about prices and was very surprised, first I ask about time of performance and they said that there is many people who wants to make documents and leave the country But if I'll make the application now, and pay for it now, they will make all documents not more than two weeks, and if I'll not make the application, documents will be prepared not earlier than two or three months because there are many people who wants to do it. I was very much surprised with the prices of services.  It cost three hundreds and twenty nine american dollars. It's make me little suppressed and disappointed I don't have so much now. I was make application but I must pay for it. I asked my mother about our savings she said that the money should not be a barrier between two people which love each other. I counted my sum and I found out that I have only about fifty dollars and my wages will be not soon.  I asked my friends about helping me and they said that have not at the present moment. I asked the advice my mother and she said that maybe you can help me because you loves me.  I asked her how he can help me, because he is far from me.  My mother said that you can send the money through company which make this service. I asked about it, on my work and I know now, that exists reliable and fast company which makes remittances in world and it's western union. I remember that I saw advertising this company on tv. I take a directory book and found the address of it and it's not far from me. I went there and I asked them about service. They said that sender must go to the western union, give them information: the name and last name of receiver, country they make transfer and bring the ten digits secret code to sender. The receiver must know ten digits for receiving money. They say that the branches of it must be everywhere worldwide Here is the information about me: Country: Russia City: Omsk Name: Maria Lastname Zolotova Address of branch of western union: Alpha-bank 644001, Omsk, street. Kuibyshevs, 79 I must know your full name, full address. You must know that I decide to ask you about it because I love you and trust you very much I decide to come to you because I feel this way and you are very necessary tome, I decided to come to the unfamiliar country and I never be outside my country But 1 decided to do it because now you are part of my life and I trust you in all. I think you trust me too and love me too. You must inform me the closest airport to you I'll ask the help with ticket from my relatives. Please don't forget to tell me the closest airport. My love I need 300 dollars I think you will help me because we found our love and we want to meet closer. You must inform me ten digits and I can receive it. You must know we must hurry because I can receive the documents soon and if we lost the time it is necessary for a long time. Now it's very difficultly to receive the visa to your country, and it's fact, but if I pay now I think I do it. I think about sense of money, and I'm very sad if this paper can prevent people to meet each other. In most cases the money play a main role in life but it's not right! I'm sure. And the quantity of money was and will not important to me I always not aspired to material enrichment and don't search specially for rich male. I appreciate human qualities and relations and I love you Rusty!!! I love you all my heart, I want to be with you now... I want to be with you forever. If it's mutually we will be very happy in our life. I think you love me too and we will meet very soon.  You are my love, my Angel. My heart is yours. I'm waiting good news from you, I hope everything will be all right and we will be together soon. Every day I think about our meeting, and I think it's real, we must use this chance of destiny. ILOVEYOU!!!!!!!! Your love Maria.

Hello my dear Love, Rusty. War in Iraq - unhealthy question all over the world. I look constantly TV and that that is created in the world awfully.  Television announcers speak constantly about destruction of peace inhabitants. Demonstrations pass all over the world against war.  Demonstrations against war are and at us. At us also it is a lot of prisoners for objection. But prisoners basically instigators of disorders.  Some people go on demonstration only to make the disorder. Reaches even that glasses in shops beat out, automobiles overturn, beat simple citizens. It becomes terrible to me to come on street. But it is necessary. I work till now. I want to be as soon as possible near to you. I want to feel your support. I spoke already, that I have the girlfriend who works in bank. I ask to send a remittance for her name. She at once will receive it and will transfer to me personally in hands Here is the information about her: Country: Russia City: Omsk Name: Natalia Lastname: Kirilina It will be simple more reliably and easy for me, As I will not have no time in connection with my work.  I should discharge on my work, and it will borrow a lot of time. I hope that our meeting will be soon! I love you! With love Maria. P.S. Your daddy spoke, that I should give a kick to you at arrival. I shall not give you a kick, and I shall kiss you, than I shall make sad your father. (perceive it with a smile). Send the HELLO to daddy. 

Hello my love Rusty I waited for your letter long and I am glad that you have written to me  Now I understand, why you did not write long.  It is a pity to me beautiful trees which you have lost. But weather is such piece, that the person can not resist to it. Weather happens is favourable to the person and weather happens is awful in relation to the person. Now we enjoy in the spring, to the bright sun, trees will start is fast to dismiss leaves. And spring for some people - an awful season. Snow thaws and fills in water many villages and cities. Many people perish. It is awful very much. But what to do? Weather is weather. I wrote to you that I have the ready visa. But in her there is no date from which she will start to operate. for this purpose the ticket for plane is necessary for me. The visa will start to operate in day of my departure from Russia. That there was a date the ticket aboard the plane which I can not buy is necessary. For me it is expensive. But I could save 150 dollars. It is not enough. I spoke that the ticket costs 632 dollars. I have no so much. I am in a uncertain condition. I have the visa on hands and I do not know when I shall arrive to you. This idea does not give me rest. I love you and I do not know when we shall be together. I want to be your wife and I do not know when it will be. BGcause of it I have inconsistent feelings concerning us. There is no you do not think anything bad. I LOVE YOU!!! And I want to be with you together. But i have the question is before me: WHEFS4? But at the same time, one word inspire myself SOON. With all love With all heart Maria.

My love Rusty I have found the ticket which will be also the opposite. It costs 910 dollars. I shall fly from airport Sheremet'eva to airport John F Kennedy  Therefore to me is necessary still to go from Omsk to Moscow. (120 dollars)  But it will be inexpensive 910 dollars ÷ 120 dollars = 1030 dollars.  It is much cheaper, than two tickets on 632 dollars (1264 dollars)  Therefore I need onlyin 380 dollars (I have 650 dollars) Excuse me, that this letter on money.  But I am very much excited. And I try to correct the mistake. This time you should give me a kick. I love you!!! Your Maria

Hi my love husband Rusty!! I write from Moscow the Internet of cafe.  Tomorrow I can not fly to you. You remember, that I spoke you about a gift.  This ancient ring with a brilliant. At the airport at me have examined things and have taken my ring for check. They have told, that this ring is valid with a brilliant and it is required to bring in this ring to the declaration. Also it was required to pay customs the duty for transportation of precious things abroad.  For it it is necessary 364 dollars which I have not.  Therefore I have handed over the ticket in aircash department. I have handed over the ticket beforehand and have not lost interests.  I have handed over him for full cost. I did not want to leave to you without a gift, it is very important for me and my parents. I did not think, that our family ring is of great value.  I did not inform my parents, that I could not arrive to you. I do not want, that they worried.  I do not want to leave to you without a ring as the ring will belong later to the state. I do not want it. I have thought, that you can send me 364 $ for my name to Moscow. The manager at the airport has explained to me, that I can receive without problems it in any branch of the western union. Now I live in hotel, I have occupied a room for one day. Because I do not want to spend money vainly. I hope, that on it a lot of time is not required and I can arrive to you. I very much want it. I want to decorate your finger with my gift.  I love you and I hope and I wait for our meeting. It is a shame to me, that tomorrow I could not arrive to you. But you should understand, that in it there is no my fault. I shall wait for your letter. Your wife Maria.

Masha Bogatyreva (Yoshkar-Ola Russia)

Hi, Elena, Well, I was just another stupid fool who fell for MASHA BOGATYREVA' S sweet sounding letters, and her striking beauty.  Today, I just discovered a second scam site with two of her pictures on it, and a few of her letters that she had sent some guy from Denmark, by the name of Lars. What was so insulting was the letters that I had assumed were special to me were verbatim to what she had sent to Lars? Except for a few words at the heading and ending. She was working in conjunction with a trivalency or agent, MIKHAIL from Ogden tours. In Yoshkar-Ola. The travel agent, I did not trust him, what he said shot red flags up. So it about 2.5 to 3 weeks longer and Masha came up with a new plan. Telling me that she had a big modeling job in Belgium, and from there she could go straight to Washington State to visit me for three months. She told me that her boss at could get her a (Business pass port/visa), and would take care of all the red tape at the embassy for only $900.00 dollars. Which was about $300.00 less than what the travel agent wanted? However, to do this she had to give him the money in just a weeks time. I should have caught the Red Flag when I was not able to come up with the money by the first date, she convently told me that he gave her an extension of time. I am ashamed to say that I was falling in love with her sweet letters, that I just found out were being (Mass Produced) and two seductive pictures that she was sending to every Tom, Dick, and Harry. She had sent me about a dozen pictures, but with my newness, to the computer, lack of skill with the computer, I only retrieved six of them. I would like to send copies of her letters and pictures and maybe two of four of my self that I had sent to her.  Part of what makes this so painful, is I took out $1000.00 dollar cash advance on my visa, by the time I get that paid back with interest and all, I figure it will cost me closer to 1300. To 1400.00. I would greatly appreciate if you could tell me if you are interested in my experience. And the pictures.  Sincerely Jim at j3plat@aol.com PS, again due to my newness, I might have sent you more than one copy of the same print. Let me know If I did. Thank you.  


Natasha Iacowleva from St. Petersburg aka Irina Troshenko aka Irina Limarenko aks Pavlo Sirotyuk:


This is a report about a scammer Natasha Iacowleva from St. Petersburg. Her address that she gave to me was Natasha Iacowleva, P.O.Box 654, St.Petersburg,Russia 193313 . Her e-mail used was plot@gala.net . She had a profile listed at Friend Finder and I responded to her. I actually used a lette  translation agency to send and receive letters to her in St. Petersburg as she did not want to use e-mail. I eventually saw her photos listed at a scammer web site and became suspicious of her and tried to get her to give me her home mailing address ( I had only her PO Box) which she never gave me and then I never heard back from her again. I think that she knew something was up when I tried to get her real home address. It is now obvious that this was a scam in the making and I am very surprised at how patient this scammer actually was. Some of the photos that were being used by this scammer were actually that of a model named Irina Troshenko, from Lugansk (Model agency Queen) http://www.queen.lg.ua/model/troshenko/troshenko.shtml . I am not sure if this is a case of identity theft by others or if she is involved in any way on some of the scams that are going on. Other names associated with these photos are Pavlo Sirotyuk, http://www.womenrussia.com/blackpage68.htm#sirotyuk and Irina Limarenko. Her photos are used quite a bit at agencies in Lugansk such as Chance Agency, Discovery Agency and Vega Agency in Lugansk which in my opinion are less then honest agencies, as they try and use the money for translation scamming tactic. I had personal experiences in the past with Chance, Discovery and also Vega Agencies and they will let you write the first couple of letters for free and then notify you that it is time to pay up if you want to get any more letters from the girls. They also post many of their very attractive ladies on the free sites such as Matchdoctor and others to lure in their potenial victims. Many of the ladies on all three of these Agencies are known scammers and yet they still keep have them on their site. On Natasha's or Irina's profile at Discovery, her name is listed as Irina Limarenko from Lugansk? You can read about some of the reports with her photos at: http://www.russianblacklist.com/Irina.htm
http://www.queen.lg.ua/model/troshenko/troshenko.shtml

http://www.vega-agency.com/Profil_Gerls6.html
http://www.womenrussia.com/blackpage68.htm#sirotyuk

I would be very cautious in dealing with any of these agencies in Lugansk and anyone using these photos, as you never know if it is really her or just someone stealing her photos to scam with. Never, ever send money to the lady or her agency, even if it just is for translations of letters. Always use an outside agency that you can trust if you do need to do any type of letter translations. If the lady is really interested in you, this should not cause a problem and if she does not want to use another outside agency and only wants to use her agency, guess what, she is not really interested in you. Sincerely, S.H.

Letters:

If you can write in Russian it is wonderful be!! You have 2 adresses I send you two letters to there.  I will look for you reply!! Natsha

Hallo Dear XXX, I received your letter. Thanks million for it and for photos. I thought you write me by post from home and I surprised you wrote by Russian service. I received your letter very quick and read Russian in it is more easy. Can I write you in Russian too? I read that I can post photos for you too and they scan it. If can I get my photos back when you get them after scan? I have little photos but then I can send you one or two. I am 21 years. I born 23 March 1980. I work in shop which sell shoes. I  sell it from desk. I never was in America, and you, were you in Russia?  I don't know Americans but I saw some Americans in city sometime and I  think they alike we, not many differences. I have not boyfriend now and my girlfriend says try the Internet because she met a nice man from Italy in this year by Internet. It is interesting and I decided try it too. When I not work, I like go to beach and sea. Listen to music, watch films comedias, read classical books and novels. I have many books in home but little time for read now. I like swimming of sports. What do you likeI see on your photo you too like sea. Do you have more photos about you and your country? It is interesting to see it and when tell about America! I will look for you letters!! bye bye,  Natasha

Dear XXXX, Thanks a lot for your letter and photos. I was glad to receive it. Along with your letter I've got a message telling me that I can write you in Russian, so I take the opportunity to express some important thoughts, that I could hardly express myself in English. I hope it will be translated correctly.

You asked me to tell you what I am looking for in a relationship or in my partner. Thank you for the question, and I would like to tell you that I am looking for that person who will love me for me, someone who can see all my little quirks and still love me anyway. I must say that in my search, it has led me many routes some better than others, but nonetheless each a learning experience. I have learned that fate, destiny, or whatever that you may call it, is unpredictable, it may happen on some lonesome walk in the park, or some night out on the town, but when it happens I will know it. I am looking for that person who in a split second smile can brighten my entire day! I want to grow old with someone, I want to able to look into his eyes and see the years of love and many more years of love to come. I want to be able to tell what is wrong with him with just a single glance without a word being uttered. I want him to be able to roll over and look into my eyes, and kiss me gently on my forehead and have that mean more than anything that money could purchase. I don't want to love one big thing about him, just a million tiny little things that add up to make it wonderful. People say that love like that doesn't exist and that it's out dated, but I really beg to differ. Love is not a captive of time, and neither can be fate. Intangible things can never be encapsulated by a tangible, just like night can dwell in day. Those two just don't go together. Ideas of people, yes they do change but the moment of pure rapture when you realize that you have achieved true love never does. That moment will stretch out to an eternity and what an eternity that will be!  I would like you to tell me your thoughts on a perfect relationship between a man and a women, too. Why do you want to meet someone in Russia and not in another country (or is it not so important?). I send you a photo of me with this letter and I would be happy to see more photos of your's too. Well, I have wrote more than enough, so I must be going for now. I will answer your other questions in my next letter and I will hope to receive your reply soon. bye bye, Natasha

Dear XXX, Thank you for your nice letter and more photos of you. Your letter says a lot of you. I am glad that you are agree with that I said in my previous letter. I feel that when you are in true love that nothing can replace it. And, when you love someone you love everything about them. That is what separates the one you love from everyone else, that spark you have when they are around. I believe that you can find love at anytime, and that you might not even see it coming. But,  when you do find love you should cherish it and realize that this is the best feeling life can give you. The person I fall in love with, I want to be able to see it in their eyes when I come home from work.  You can see a person's soul through their eyes, and the eyes are so pure in showing feelings. That little sparkle in the eye would give me such a wonderful feeling inside. To me it is the little things that mean so much, such as, a little kiss before leaving in the morning for work, holding hands in the movies, or cuddling on the couch. It is the small things that add up to one big thing and that is LOVE. And, those are some of the special things that make being in love so amazing... I will look forward to see more photos of you ) I will sign up here and I wish you to have a good day.  bye bye, Natasha  

Dear XXX, It was a pleasure to read your letter and I hope your computer got ride of ll the bugs and you can write me more often now (smile). It is great that you plan to go to St.Petersburg. Obviously the best time to visit St.Petersburg is June - the period of the White Nights. This is the most beautiful and most romantic time in St.Petersburg when the city is full of tourists from all around the world. When do you have your vacation? I see you are very busy with your work and courses and I wonder what do you do for fun? I have been trying to study English language with a language teacher (Russian) who lived in England. My English is still very bad. The English grammar is very different than Russian. It is very confusing! Apparently, the suffix can change the meaning of the word in a manner unknown to Russian. I am glad that you study Russian too. How do you learn it, by books or from a tutor? I study English once a week and I will be studying the English language Sunday afternoon/evening. My teacher Galina Bobrova lived and worked in London for 3 years. She is attempting to teach us how to speak English. I need a lot of practice to remember the words. I am not very good at English at the moment, as I forget the words and meanings. It will take time, but I will improve. Galina says that I must learn to read English. Reading will help me to remember English. We are also being advised to learn how to write hand writing. She said that most signs are in hand writting - not printed as in books. 

XXX, I am also interested what kind of food do you like? I like traditional Russian and Georgian foods. I do not like Asian or Seafood. Today, for my dinner I had Lamb chops with mixed Vegetables. I enjoyed this. Tomorrow, I will have several slices of Ham with a salad. Salads are great for hot days. For lunch, I usually have several white rolls with a salad filling.  I think our foods are similar to traditional English and American foods. We tend to have too much red meat - such as steak, beef, lamb etc. My favorite foods are steak. Beef or lamb served with vegetables. Every evening meal begins with Tomato soup. I must admit that I am not a good cook, but I like what I cook. This is good as I have to eat what I cook. I don't go to restaurants much. I don't like the slow service (sometimes 4 hours) and the lack of company. Restaurant eating is best done with friends. Russian restaurants like to provide an "eating experience" where the customers can relax and enjoy the meal in a nice location with friends and other loved ones (i.e. boyfriend and girlfriend). This leaves me out at present.  Well that's about it for today. I'll write you more again and will answer your other questions when I get some spare time. I hope you enjoy the last days of the Summer and don't work too hard!  bye bye, Natasha

Hello XXX, On Tuesday I got a phone call from the Internet club and I was informed that there are two email letters waiting for me in their office and that I have to come and pick them up. It's greatly surprised me because I have not been using their service for over two months for now and I was not expecting a letter from anyone that way. I was yet more surprised to find out that those two letters have come from you! In fact it was the only letter but sent from different email addresses of your's, both dated of October 5th and that is where you tell about Indian Summer in your town. But what made me surprised most of all is that you seem like sent the letter not to me but to someone else because of your questions. You ask me about my birthday again, though I clearly remember that I told you about it. I also believe that I shared my feelings about dentists with you.... and what about my dreams.. I told you many things about my dreams and about that man of my dream I would like to meet someday. It was in my understanding that you have been reading all of my letters I sent to you because I keep all of yours and your comments to mine made me believe that we are already friends. I am not quit sure how to interpret your questions; perhaps you lost my letters and forgot everything I told you before, or maybe that's because you are not too serious and consider this like a game. Maybe you write to so many people that you don't remember who is who? I am sorry if you do because I thought I deserve a better treatment to myself... I would like to feel myself "special", not just somebody to chat with and forget.  Bye, Natasha


Veronika Barashkova, (Samara, Russia) 

I am a divorced father of 1, Chinese-American, 45 years old, professionally-employed. The contact originated from "Friendsearch.com" and Veronika wrote to me first, under the Friendsearch profile of "Nadomne," whose description didn't match the one that Veronika gave me of herself. Here's the first letter which was written on 2/25/2003:

Letters:

Hi my new friend Les !!! This is Veronika. I'm from Russia. I live in the city of Samara. It is enough far from Moscow but I think that I live in not bad place. I am sorry for the late answer to your letter. I will not write a big letter - I'll simply send you my photo and you'll decide if you want to conversate more with me. In short about me. I'm very comunicative girl and I like big and funny companies! I like to be in good company and I like to live with open heart and with good mood by life. I like to love and love to be loved by people. I love to live!!! I like to have fun and I hope that you are the same. I love romantice... It is the best thing that people invented.... My desire is to get more and more friends all over the world - I hope you don't mind that I wrote you and want you to be my new friend... So if you are intersted I hope to find a letter for me in this e-mail. I'll wait very much. You may feel free ask what you want - I'll try to answer for any of them. Bye! Bye! Veronika. p.s. I want to know what do you think about my photo!... mailto:vero_maks@front.ru

Here's where her letters began to heat up, on 3/6/2003: 

Good health to you my dear friend Les! I know - this sound a little strange for you but this is literal translation of famous greeting in Russian. I want only to say that I'm very excited to find a letter for me with your great warm words! It takes to me a great pleasure to read your letters and to know that someone far away waits for my letters too. I feel happy to find news from you my dear friend! Spring arrives. Spring comes to life all alive. This wonderful time also is connected to female beauty. Therefore in the beginning of spring a female holiday. It alrea dy arrives, soon March, 8. Congratulate, all native women with a holiday. With each letter between us I feel that firstly called feeling between us is growing and becoming stronger. It is very strange to understand the fact that two people can feel closer without even ever meeting but it is really so!!! The weather is becoming warmer and it is -8 C and much snowing in the street all day. It makes a sad mood and you are waiting for something you can even describe... Sorry for a little blue in my words but I'm a little unwell and I'm afraid to get cold. Today when I'll come home - I'll try to prevent the illness. But what am I?.. I feel that I have a great desire to come to USA to see you in reality some day. It may sound a little crazy but I really would love to meet you some day, to say you "Hello" in person, to shake your hand. It should be so romantic meeting!!! But from another side of the world it seems to be crazy dream only - you see - we live so far apart that it makes me unhappy that such a usual girl as me have no chance to move there where she want as easy as it is possible in fantasies... I have come here from work and tired a little after hard and difficult day. I hope this letter doesn't bother you - I have a not very great mood. According to this I want to tell you about my love from far youth. I wanted to tell this much time before but I was a little confused and didn't feel enough trusting - it is very personal for me... He was a boy of my age. His name is Nikolai. I loved him so... so... But our love story finished very sad. He exchanged me for the career. I know it sounds very sad but it was the greatest heart wound in my life from my early childhood. He is gone to Europe to the city of Madrid and live there now. I suffered so much. We were meeting for almost three years but he drop as... I can't recall this without tears. I almost forgot him. It happened a five years ago and now I found you in so far!!! I hope that you are not bored with my stories? It seemed to me that I feel for you growing feelings. What is it - I don't know. I think that the time will show!!! But you can't deny the fact that our hearts becoming closer. I hope that I don't make a mistake thinking this. I really feel something new in my soul! I'll finish now. I spent too much time already at the computer but for the final I'd love ask some questions. If you don't want you may not to answer them. Firstly I'd love to know about your first romantic love. Who was she? Was she beautiful? Why did you get apart? You may tell me more about American women. I can't imagine them. It's really hard for simple Russian girl. Else I want you to tell me how do you feel about our future. Is there any chance for us to meet someday? That is all for today. I'm going to go home but I promise I'll think of you today... Veronika. mailto:vero_maks@front.ru 

She became very romantic very swiftly, and here's the money request, on 3/11/2003:

Hi Les! This is Veronika. How are you? Sorry, that I long did not write to you. Holidays were also I might not write to you. It is a holiday March, 8. A holiday of all women. Daddy has made to me and mum gifts. All was good. I went to walk with parents. We spoke much about you. I told to parents, what you good. I don't know how to begin this letter but I decided to tell you a very important thing in this letter to you. I'm a little confused. I never told you that I'm very easy-falling-in-love person! And how to describe... In short... It seemes to me that I fall in love with you. I can't explain this crazy feeling. Your warm, caring words in your letters, I feel that you are a very good  person. I feel that you are closer to me than many of my friends here in cold Russia! I can't describe that great mood that I had when I got up today in the early mourning  thinking of you huging me in the field of flowers! It was a great dream!!! I didn't see such  kind of dreams from time of my firstly falling in love!!! It was so wonderful as in reality!!! I feel  love and this fact heat my soul! I feel that I'm enough powerfull to make my dream come true and come to you to USA and  to see you in reality and to shake your hand and to look into your eyes and to say you in  person what I really wanted to say but can't get it in words on paper... It is so sweet - to think that it may happen to me and to turn all my life head over heels and  bring me something I have never feel before. It is really seemed to be a land of the dream  here. USA is something that does not seem to be real but some kind of fairy tale. I hope that this enthusiasm does not frighten you! I feel so happy thinking that some day we  finally can meet in reality but not only over e-mail. Mmm... I want to tell you about why I am alone... It is really hard here to find a man I want  to be with. It is really poor here with good men. I can't describe it correctly but it seems to  me that Russian men don't want to find their half in me. It is not good experience of  changing boyfriends often but I come through it and it is all false. I hate this period of my life.  I was crazy and decided to finish making mistakes in this life. Now I decided to find the man in other country and it happened that I found you in USA. It  was always my dream to marry American man. Of course that wish was mostly subconscious  but finally I was advised to try to write to American man and I feel that make a good thing.  I like what's happening to me last days. It is so new to me!... I want to tell you more about the boy who helped me to find you via internet. He is very good and devoted friend. He is only one with whom I can divide my grief. We lived together as neighbours in the same house when I live with parents yet. We know each other from little  age. we are great friends! So he asked me one day if I want to get acquainted with good  American man. I said I agree and he has taken me to Internet Centre and shown how can  I find anybody I want... I wrote to several man whose profiles I liked; you, only you have answered to me. I decided to continue this interesting experiment. And now I don't regret any more - I found you! The name of my friend is Alexei. I told him about you and he was very glad for me and for my happiness. He has noted that I became better-looking and the smile doesn't go away from my face... By the way he passed "Hello" from him to you to America! I have known a little about how can I come to you. The most important is to get the foreign passport and visa to visit. It is not easy as have heard and but I think that there's no impossible  things in the world. The most important is great wish and will to do what you want. I will speak  with mother about this but firstly I need to know what do you think about this. I have learned that the cost of making all papers for me will totally cost about 300 US dollars but I'll learn it more better if you want. I decided to go to church today. I wasn't there for a long time already, too long time already. I never told you that I believe in Christ and I'm Christian. My grandma (she died already)  imparted to me a great love to church! She was very deep believer in God! And I will be asking today in the church for us to meet someday! I love you very much and I want us to be happy together! All this letter is so spontaneous but from the deep of my heart. I want to know what do you think about what I said to you in it. Is it really love - how do you think? This feeling makes me so strong and courageous. But in deep of the heart I'm afraid to read your answer. I want to love but what future will show?...I need to know your answer!!! I want you to answer me as soon as you can. I love you. I'm finishing at this... Veronika... 

All along, I had been asking her questions, such as why the physical description from "Friendsearch.com" didn't match her description, or innocent questions to test if her letters were prefabricated ("Have you ever traveled to St. Petersburg?" "Do you like The Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky, or other Tchaikovsky music?") and the questions were never answered. When I got her 3/11/2003 letter, I replied that I would not want to send money to her -- $300 for a visa was only the beginning, and only a dream, because it would be followed by a plane ticket to America which costs over $3500, which would be beyond the means of a "poor Russian girl who lived in a one-room apartment," which was her self-description (she did not use those exact words). I asked her to be calm, keep writing, and someday I would go to visit her, which would be better, and that I would not want to send money to her. That was the best language I could come up with, to be nice and give her the benefit of the doubt, which was a huge doubt by then. She never wrote back again. So from the first letter on 2/25 to the last one on 3/11, that was pretty fast for a woman to fall in love at long distance. 3 clear photos are attached. Thank you, Womenrussia and Blacklist! I read your forewarnings when Veronika first wrote to me.
