Elena Ushakova (Moscow oblast, Russia)
I am a single male, 42 years old, American. She contacted me though an
internet dating site, Webdates I think ( I lost the first e-mail from a
computer crash) She seemed real, said that she just got access to the
internet a few weeks ago and was surfing around and found my profile (I have
deleted it since then) She told me that she was new to this and that she was
unsure about meeting someone though ther internet. That changed very fast
though. She became very outgoing and wanted to know all about me. What got
me suspisious was that she was a very beautiful woman but did not want to
meet any men in Russia, She made little money even thou she had a degree,
but seemed to have everything that she wanted. I diamond stud in her nose, I
fancy belly jewelry, nice clothes. And the pics that she sent were very
high quality. She was just to darn good at the Internet for just getting
into it. She kept saying that she wanted to start as friends but it
escalated way to fast. She wanted to leave everything that she had and come
here and marry me, even though we had been e-mailing for only less then a
month. She wanted $300 for a visa because she could not wait to meet me ,
but said that she would get the money for a ticket " In a few months". I
told her that I was married and that she could not come over and meet me but
it was like she never read that e-mails, just kept asking and saying that
she loved me. The last two letters I received on the same day, that sealed
it for me..
Letters:
Hi xxxx
I can't write you from my work any more. I have new chief. He just interdict use the internet at personal needs.
I couldn't wait when I can come here to computer club to read your letter.
It really brights my day. Smile. I am really happy to get your reply. And I like we both enjoy our correspondence. Your letters mean a lot
for me. xxxx, yesterday evening I told with my uncle about you. He is exciting about our friendly relationship. I read him some parts from
your letters. Not all, just some sentenses. Hope you don't mind I share that with my uncle. He is the only close person to me and I
trust him. He thinks you are worthy man. But he said I must be cautious. I can
understand his feelings. But for me you are honest man and I don't think you can ever deceive me. I know I may be mistaken with my
thoughts about you. Only time will say the truth. Smile.
To be honest we discussed about my possibility to move to you. Smile. Don't worry, it is just an idea. I understand that it is too early to
think about it. But who knows. Maybe at first we would meet in person.
Anyway my uncle said that he will support me in my choice and don't mind if I move.
xxxx, I don't know what is going on with me. I found myself thinking of you often. It seems to me that you are more than just a
friend to me. I hope I didn't scare you off with my thoughts. Smile. I wonder what you think about me as your possible life partner? Do you
think that we could have common future? I understand if it is too straight question. But I would like to know your opinion. I am honest
with you and I want you to be honest with me too. We must trust each other. It's very important in relationship.
As for me I see you as my possible partner for life. I know we have great distance between us. But with our letters I feel you close. I
believe you are the man with nice soul. I think personal contact is more better than letters via e-mail. But now it is enough to know each
other better and see if we really can have something common in future.
Who knows probably we will meet one day and get married. Smile.
Well, I continue to tell about me and my life here. My usual day is not too interesting. I get up at 6 o'clock and at 8 I
must be at my work. It takes me about 40 minutes to get there by bus. Then I am at work until 5. About 6 o'clock I return home. Make some
domestic things like cleaning and washing. Three times a week I go to gym, make some aerobics and dances. Sometimes I go to library,
theatre, to my friends. When I don't want to go anywhere I stay at home to read a book or play piano, I like to learn a new music
composition. In the evenings I watch some film or show on TV and go to
bed.
Today I got my salary at work. That small pleasant event always makes
people to love their work if only for a day. Smile. I don't earn large
sum of money. It is 3500 rubles (about $125 USD) for a month. But I am
enough satisfied with it. I wish I got more money, but I don't want to
become crazy about it. I saw many people who wanted to get much money.
Some of them gained it. But they almost changed their personality. They can't talk about anything, only money. Yes, it is difficult to
make good money in Russia. But money is not my life goal. For my salary I can buy something of clothes and it is enough to buy food.
For russian standard I have less average earnings. I have a TV set and
tape-recorder at home. I don't have a car, but I can drive it. I have my bicycle and I enjoy to ride it. Smile. Not sure how interesting it
is to read about these things but I want you know.
xxxx, how much do you earn? I am just interesting. You don't need to answer if you don't want.
I know that we have different life levels. But it is interesting what are expenses for living at you. I pay about $50 USD for my flat and
electricity. In winter I pay additional 10 for central heating. I am lucky I live in my mother's flat. This flat was given to my mother by
the Univercity where she worked. Actually it is not my accomodation. I
can just live here. I have only one room and a kitchen. I don't want to complain of something. It is usual things here. I want to show you
life here.
By the way how much is Internet access where you live? I am paying about 48 roubles for an hour in this computer club (about $1.7 USD for
a hour). xxx, tell me about your the same things. I am interesting what is your life there.
I thought about my life and recent events. You know from my last relationship with man I understood that the connection between man and
woman is very delicate. It needs efforts from both sides to be supported and developed. You can't just date, make love and say words.
It is more deeper. My last boyfriend was a photographer. Some my pictures were made by him. He was more than just a photographer, he
was an artist, a creator. Our parting was not a tragedy. In the certain time we both understand we are not together and decided to
break it. I don't miss him. It was the best we could do. Dan I don't know why I tell it to you. Now I want to create full
relationship and I know how to do it. I will try to give all my soul to my man and I need his one for me.
Well don't get it too close. It is just my thoughts and I don't claim anything. Smile.
Well, I must cut my letter here. Write me more. All what you think and
dream. I need it. Looking forward to getting your letter. Take care of you.
Goodbye xxx
Elena
P.S. This photo was created by my last boyfriend.
Hi, xxx
Thank you for your pictures. I received them. Very nice. I am really happy we are in touch. Thank you for your letters. They
make my days. I think of you constantly. You are very close to me. I don't know how it could happen so fast. It is amazing. I feel you very
close, but I can't see you.
You see we both are sincere with each other. I think it is the way people must comunicate with each other. I think that we mustn't hide
our feelings and thoughts. I do it. I am ready to give myself to the destiny. I believe in fortune. I think I am lucky to find you.
xxx, I miss you in the evenings. Sometimes at nights I dream of you. I see you smiling and whispering my name. You know I wish you
were here next to me or I were near you. I want to touch your hand, to
see in your eyes and whisper your name... Sweet dream.
I believe we are compartible and we could be a great couple. I have thought a lot about us and came to conclusion. Dan we must meet
in person. I want to touch your hand and see into your eyes. Really. I
thought is it really so hard for us to meet? We live on the same planet, just in different places.
xxxx, I want to visit you. Would you like to meet me in person? Would you like to see me in real? I want it. I think if we both want
it we can do it. Is it a crazy idea?
We met in virtual space. We found out that we have common thoughts and
ideas for living. We both need someone in our lifes. We like each other. So we must meet.
We must meet to see if we are persons who we see in our letters and our thoughts. We should meet to learn each other more, to talk, to
feel each other. We should check up our expectation in real life. I don't see the sense to continue our corresponds and to make image of
our relationship in our minds.
I think we must meet and see if the things will work out between us, see if we will fall in love with each other. Without meeting in person
we can't create full understanding of person. I want to meet you and to develop our relationship. I know we met in Internet but we met each
other. It means a lot.
xxx, I would like to visit you this winter. I will have vacation and I think it would be good time to meet. Tell me what you
think about it?
xxx, I really feel nervous right now. I don't want to stay friends. You see it is not enough for me. I want more. You may think I
am crazy, we never met. I understand. But can't do anything with it. I
feel this way and I am ready to continue our relationship in more close manner.
I told with my uncle about this. He is very exciting for me. But he doesn't mind. He said "it is your life Elena and you are worth to
have your happy". He also said that he has good friend in Moscow who works as a lawyer
in emigration field. Uncle said he will help me with all paperworks. I
will learn about what papers I need to make and then I will tell you. I don't know how long it will take me and how hard it will be.
xxx, I want also to enlist your support. Can you help me if I need something from you? I don't know what exactly, maybe some information
about you or something else. Do you think it is possible for us to meet? I think yes.
I believe in fortune and I think it smiled on us. If we could meet each other in Internet we can meet in real. I am sure we will have
happy future together.
xxx, I am so excited thinking of it. Yes, I surely want to embrace you and I will do everything that depends from me to make us
met. Please, write sooner what you think. I am sorry if this letter is
a little chaotic. I am just very exciting.
With love.
Yours Elena.
p.s. I want to visit, but who know maybe I will stay with you. Smile.
Hi,xxx,
I am really glad to see your letter. It is the only reason for me to check my email box.
xxx, I must say to you some words. I love you. I don't know how
you react to it. But these words are sincere from me. You see my heart
says that you are my right man. I understand that it is too fast to fall in love with the man that you have never met in real. But also
our meeting started not from flirtation but from honest words. We have
been sincere with each other. We both need some one in this life. We both like each other. We started our relations from learning our
thoughts and dreams. We both know what other wants. We shared our thoughts and we have a lot common.
I don't know what you think of me now. Maybe you think I am crazy or you share my opinion. You see if the man knows what he wants he
must do something to get it, but not to sit and think of it all time. I know that I love you. I know you are careful, honest and strong man.
You cannot deceive me. I know that you are the man that I have been searching for.
To my mind this situation about Internet helps us to develop our relationship in shot time. We've just jumped the long period of
acquaintance and adaptation to each other. At first we started from the point that other people reach in some months or more.
See xxx, , people meet, adapt to each other. Then after some time they begin to consider their common goals and intentions. Then they
decide possibility of living together or having some kind of relationship. So the end point of this situation is exchange of thoughts.
We reach it without preparatory stage.
To my opinion, the most important thing in relations between man and woman is spiritual contact and understanding without words. Other
things are less important and some have no importance at all. For me love is the thing you can't describe. It comes from inside of
you. You just want to make happy the man you love. And there is no any
criterion of appreciation to it.
Well I said enough for now. xxxx, I love you. It is true. I will think of you and wait your reply.
I will write you soon.
With love,
always yours
Elena.
Hi xxx.
I want to tell you very serious thing. Dan, I have done some research for coming to you. And I have good
results. I talked to my uncle's friend about it. He works as a lawyer in immigration agency in Moscow. His company helps people to solve all
questions about travels, organized tours and immigration. They also make all paperworks and passport required for travelers. I got his
profession al advice about my wish to come to you.
He said that I would need visa and passport to come to you. His company can make all these papers in 10 days. This company is
connected with American Embassy. That's why they work so quickly. I asked what I would need to do and he told me about all stages in
this process. At first I need to apply for visa in this company. They will make an inquiry into embassy in Moscow. Usually it takes about
two days. After they will receive authorization for my visa I will
need to contract for their service. Then they will start their work. I
will get visa, all papers and passport in 10 days. Then I can get ticket for a plane and fly to you.
Their service costs $350 USD. I know this is a lot, but it is fast and
reliable. The lawyer said I can try to get visa by myself but it will take more
time, about 6-12 months. I will need to come to embassy and apply for visa. The pay is about $150 USD. Then I will need to come there some
times to sign different papers and wait. You see it could take more time, money and nerve finally.
What do you think of this occasion? I think it is great chance for us to meet. There is the reason we must hurry with it. This company have
a licence to issue visas. But the government of the USA decided to limit number of visas since this year. This company will not issue
visas any longer since February 6, 2005. The only way to get visa will
be the embassy and it is very hard, almost impossible for lonely young
woman. So I will not be able to get visa that way. Also the lawyer said that they have limited number of visas they can issue for this
year. This is the rule of US Embassy. Now they have few visas they can
give. He said if I want to get visa I must do it as soon as possible.
You see we must hurry if we want to meet in person. I must say that I have already applied for visa. Don't you mind?
xxx, I love you and I need to meet you in person. We must do it as soon as possible. You know I haven't $350 USD. It makes me so sad.
What can I do? I hate I have no this money. And I feel very uncomfortable to ask you for money.
If I could pay for it I would do it without any doubts. I can get about $50 USD for visa but I need another 300. Dan, I know we
will be happy together. Please, help me with visa money, help us to meet.
As for visa's period of validity it works for 3 months. I can prolong it if I will need. And I also can marry you if we will decide to do it.
Dan, please, think of it. It is our chance, we can't miss it. I must pay for visa next week. You see they take payment in advance
usually. But the lawyer made an exception for me, because he is my uncle's friend. And I promised to pay in these days. I can't let him
down.
Trust me xxx. It is the best way we can meet. If you really want to meet me and help, please send money these days.
Use Western Union. They have their agents locally here. So I will be able to receive your money without any problems. They are
very fast and reliable. You will need to put in order my name as Elena Ushakova and location - Moscow. After you send money let me know
control number of your transfer, your name and address as it appears
in transfer order. I will need this data to get your money. You can send money from western union agent. Look at their web site:
www.westernunion.com
xxx, I understand that it is maybe too fast and rush, but we need it. We can meet and we must use this chance. I know it is much money
but I don't have this money. I think I could save this sum in an year but we can't wait so long.
xxx, you see it will be the first step to our future. I must get visa at first. I understand that it may take some months to save money
for ticket. I will try to find them here, at least part of them. But I
can't find money for visa in such short time. Help me. I do it, because I love you and I trust you. I believe in our future,
I believe in you. I love you.
Yours Elena.
p.s. I am sorry if I seem too pressing in this letter, I've just wanted to let you know how important it is for us to meet.
That is my story,Thanks
Dan
