Elena Sergeeva AND Olga Burmistrova (Murom - Moscow, Russia)
I am single 48, no children, resident of Michigan, USA, in the insurance industry. The contact occurred through Yahoo Personals. She posed as someone from Alma, Michigan but first letter in return to mine came from Rambler.RU. Correspondence went on for a couple of months. She claimed to be from Murom, worked in advertising. Provided her mother and father name. No phone number, claimed that she wanted to meet me in the USA right away and asked for $1500 to do so. Sent her that, big mistake. Western Union was her method but was not too pushy about it. I have found out since that she has 4 different e-mails. Those used are lenkasergeeva@rambler.ru, burmistrovaolg@rambler.ru, olgburmistrova@rambler.ru, and sergeevelena@rambler.ru. No action was taken by Rambler RU per my email to them.
Her first letter:
Hi, Thom!
I am glad to receive today your letter. Thank you very much that you
found time to write a letter to me. I waited for it from you very
much. You have made today my day especially happy, you have decorated
it with this letter. I want to say, that I am a cheerful
girl. Usually I dont hesitate by dialogue with people, but now I am
excited. I hardly can get hands on keys of the keyboard. My heart is
beaten more rapidly!
First of all, I I worry that you will have a problem in understanding
of my English language. I studied the English language at school, and
then at university. Probably my English, differs from yours colloquial
one. Can you understand what I speak you? If something will be not
clear for you, do not hesitate to ask about it. I do not want, that
there will be the essential barrier of language between us.
I’m not a poor and independent woman. I have apartment and car! It is
rich in Russia. If to you Interestingly mine work ask me about it!
I really live in Russia, I live in city Murom. Murom - it is located
in Vladimir area. Murom was based in 862 year! There are many museums
and churches! In Murom lived Russian national bogatyr Ilia Muromets.
Hi was Protagonist of Russian fairy tales.If that will be interesting
to you I can sent you pictures of beautiful places of our city.
Many kilometers divide us, but I hope, that it will not be a problem
for our communication. I want to tell to you, that I dont like the
Russian men and there is for a reason for it if for you it is
interesting,
I can tell to you in the following letter. I have solved to look
for the love outside Russia, I do not know why, but
I like America. I have addressed to agency of
acquaintances, which is to be in our city. I filled in various
questionnaires, answered some questions, and they sad me that in the
first day will be uneasy to find men who fully match me. They advised
me to come to agency in some days. Yesterday I come to the agency of
acquaintances and some profiles of men who mostly match me were
presented to me. Also I was informed that, that match rate in some
cases reached 95 percent. It is a pity, that on my profile it was not
possible to place a photo on my profile, agency informed, that it will
be difficult. I shall send the photo to you today. Thom, I hope
you like my photo. Please, send to me your photos too!
Now, probably I should tell you about myself. I am 30 old year, my
Birthday is on On July, 22 1976. I am 172, my weight is 62kg, I try now
to transfer them into your metric system. My growth 5'8, my weight
of 137 feet. You better judge my appearance on my photo. I care about
my appearance very much, I attend courses of aerobics and fitness, it
helps me to keep my body and elegance top-level. It is very important
for me because I am a girl and I must be beautiful. Probably it will
be interesting for you to know about my work. I work as a advertisment
agent. I am engaged in designing of advertising famous trade marks in
Russia. Various orders come to us. I have higher education on the
speciality " Marketing and Advertising Business ". I like my work very
much. I like it because it helps me to communicate with different
people and we have a rallied group of workers. In our group the
success of one employee depends on the previous success of other
employees. Our friendship and unity are connected just with it. Work
allows me to express myself and my individuality.
My work helps me to be well-being. I live to work and I work to live.
I live an independent life, and I liked, I do not like to need
something.
I live with my sister in two room apartment. The majority of the
population in Russia lives in apartments.
My parents live separately from us in a country house, they like
silence and fresh air.
Our family lives friendly. I love and respect my parents, because they
have presented me the most valuable thing that I have - my life. Also,
parents raised me, brought me up very well, and give me good
education. I am grateful to my parents for everything, that they have
made for me. Thom, please tell me about your family.
Thom, I also want to tell you, that my purposes are very serious.
I want to find the man of my love. I want to have serious relationship
and have a good family in which relations will be formed upon love,
mutual understanding, respect, friendship and trust. These traits are
very important for me. I want to find the man, who will be happy
together with me and will support me in despair. Please, tell me about
yours ambitions in your live. It s interesting to me to know about it.
I am really interested in communicating with you. I had never had
communicated with a man from in another country. I shall be glad to
hear about you, about your family, your life. It is also interesting
for me where you work.
Thom, please tell me, does the city where you live have places
which are worth to see - theatres, exhibitions, museums? I like to
visit such a kind of establishments in our city. In last weekend I
have visited a planetarium with my friends. It was great, we had
possibility to observe the star sky, also we observed planets. I liked
it very much.
Ok, Thom, I have to finish my the letter. I hope, you take my
letter seriously. I want you take my letter with gravity and
responsibility. I hope, it was interesting for you to know about me,
and I hope it takes not much time for you to read my letter.
Please, write to me. I wait with impatience for your letter. Have a
nice day! Sincerely, Elena.
Letter for money:
Hello My Thom!
Today I had usual day. I am glad that in Moscow cold weather was
established. Now it is possible to leave on street and to not be
afraid to be soiled!
My papers in embassy by way of! Dear Thom I am grateful to you for
the help given to me in purchase of tickets for a trip to you. I am
grateful that you have shown generosity. I see you trust me
completely. Know Thom I also to you I trust!
Today I had very good day, actually now our meeting, all becomes
closer also closer! These news do me by the happiest girl on light!
Thom know I can take many pictures with itself to America. It is a
pity that now I have no pictures to send you. When I shall arrive to
Murom I shall send you many new pictures!
As I already informed you, I have legalized all necessary documents
and I have tickets for a trip to you. It very much is pleasant to me!
But I should inform you, that for arrival in America it is necessary
for me to have a credit card. In embassy to me have told, that it is
an obligatory condition, that I could arrive to you. Thus, I should
prove to embassy, that I shall have money then while I shall be in
territory of the USA. I should show embassy, that I the financially
secure citizen. Therefore I should have money to arrive to you to
America. The minimal sum of money which I should have on a credit
card, does 1000 dollars. I have no credit card, I did not know, that
I shall require such sum for a trip to you. I shall go now to bank
and I shall start to do a credit card. I understand, that these very
unpleasant news and I understand your feelings. I have a few which
money to me will suffice approximately on two weeks of a life in
Moscow. I shall take from this money of 150 dollars for a credit
card. It means that does not suffice me 850 more. It - very much a
shame to me to speak, but I am compelled to tell to you about it. The
situation has developed in such manner, that I am again compelled to
ask you of money. But I hope for you, my dear Thom! I believe,
that you will find an opportunity to help me, and we shall have at
last a long-awaited meeting. I am assured, that it is last step on a
way to our meeting. It is last barrier, and we should overcome it! I
with hope in heart shall wait for your help! Really, I very much
regret, but I did not know all of circumstance. I understand, that it
very unexpectedly and unpleasantly. But we should make this step!
1000 dollars - easy money, but we should break this barrier. Money
should not become a barrier on a way to our meeting! You understand
me, my favourite Thom?
Also I should tell to you, that we shall not lose your money. When I
shall arrive to you the USA, we can remove this money from a credit
card in bank. After that I shall give money to you back. I spoke with
serving embassies, and it has told to me, that money for my credit
card are only formality. Thus I should prove to embassy solvency. We
can return this money back as soon as I shall arrive to you, fine
Thom. It is necessary to receive for me this money in relatives in
some days, the embassy should not know that I have no such money. I
should behave as though I have such greater money and I can freely do
a credit card. I very much would not like to come back home not
finished all things. Before sending you today the letter, I have told
in embassy, that I shall do a credit card today. I also have told that
if the credit card will be ready tomorrow I shall have money the day
after tomorrow. It will be remarkable, if you can help me within next
several days.
Thom I wish to tell once again to you - this money simple
formality. When I shall arrive to you on February, 2nd we shall go to
this day in any bank and we shall receive your money back. You can
back receive 1000 dollars from my credit card as soon as I shall
arrive to you. You will not lose this money.
I just as you have spent many money and forces, that our meeting took
place. I did not know earlier, that money for our meeting are required
so. But I think, that all our efforts are lead not unsuccessfully. I
very much wish to have a meeting with you, my dear Thom! I
love you and it is the most important! Please, understand me
correctly! I with impatience shall wait for news from you and to hope
for the best!
Yours, Elena.
I sent all the pictures she sent me as she attempts to change her looks.
Hope you post her on the blacklist.
Thom

Hello my love, Tom!!!
Now I have time to write to you the letter!
As I spoke, I did not sleep all the night long! I thought of our
relations! I had many ideas!
I am really glad that we have met each other! Both of us searched for
our second half. Both of us were mistaken,
But now I am sure that we have found ours second half!!!

My dear Tom, I have learned all concerning my trip to you!
I thought that it will be difficult for me, but fortunately I was
mistaken! For me it is very easy to arrive to you!
We in our city have good travel agency which helps people to legalize
all papers for trip to your country!
The most important, I should make the visa and the passport for travel
abroad! They will help me to make it!
I have learned that my visa and the passport will be ready in 4-5
weeks!
I think that it quickly enough and we shall be together! It is
convenient for me because,
The travel agency will make out, for me, almost all documents!
It is good news, but I have bad news! I have learned that registration
of all documents costs 400 dollars!
It is very expensive for me! I simply have no such money! Please
forgive me!
My salary very small and I cannot save up such big money!
I have told to my mum about it! She has told that if we really love
each other that of money should not be a problem!
My love I ask you to help our happiness! I really love you and I want
to be with you,
But I cannot simply save up such big money!
I have learned that you can send me of money for the visa through
Western Union! It is system of remittances!
It close to my house and I can receive very quickly money!
When you to come in the Western Union, everyone will explain to you.
For this purpose it is necessary for you to know the following
information:
Country - Russia, city - Yoshkar-Ola, name - Galina lastname -
Polushina
That I could receive money. It will be necessary for me to know:
Your full address of regular mail,
Control number of a remittance (MTCN for the Western Union) and the sum
of translation.
MTCN to you will give, when you to send money.
My love Tom I understand that it is the big money, but I ask you to
send me them!
I ask you to make it for the sake of our happiness, for the sake of our
future!
I love you and I want to be with you! I am ready to make all for our
meeting, but I simply have no such money!
I very much regret that I have to ask you about money if I had money, I
would pay for the visa!
Now your help is necessary for me, I love you, I am ready on all for
the sake of our love!
You are probably disappointed by that that I ask you money, simply
understand that it is necessary for
both of us, our love without is valuable, now it is necessary to make
only a small step, a step to our happiness!
Oh I just now have thought! It is very big step! But I am ready to make
it!
I love you and you my happiness! I do not want to lose you! I love you!
Yours for ever Galina
Good Luck to you all.
   
Irina
Popowa (Angarsk, RUSSIA)
I am a single father of 4, white American, 57 years of age, engineer by profession.
The original website I was contacted with was True.com while I was still processing my profile I received an email from “Irina” asking me to write her at krasivaya111@yahoo.com and she would send me her picture and information. Her profile was really just a name and were she lived…New Orleans LA. I wrote her asking for the information and received the following 9 emails covering a couple of weeks. During the first week her profile was removed from the dating site.
Needless to say when I received the last email, I sent her a response telling her that under no circumstances I would send her any money. That is the last time I hear from her.
1st Letter
Return-Path: <krasivaya111@yahoo.com>
Bob! I'm so happy to receive your answer! It was good to meet you on dating site! You made my day! I feel something special about you so I hope you will like my email and photos!
There was not much in my profile because I didn't know what should I write there, I've never posted my profile before and I was not sure how it works.
I've never tried to find someone in Internet but soon I will come to your country to work there, so I will have a work visa and a permission to work. My friend worked in the USA somewhere near Fort Lauderdale two years ago. She worked in amusement park from 11 am till 6 pm and from 7 pm till 3 am she worked in a bar. Of course she was always tired but she made very good money! I think I can do it too! Now she is in Europe, working for 3 months. She wrote me she liked to work in the USA better!
I want to find a man who can tell me about the life over there and maybe of course something more then just a friend!!! I don't have a boyfriend so I'm free for new adventures!!!
I'm in Russia now, but soon I will leave Russia to make my trip so you can forget about our distance.
I think I will come over there after the first of the year. I think it will be something like January 6... January 7... or something like that...
I've never been abroad, only in the South of Russia, the Black Sea, Sochi. I like warm climate )) According to my visa I can work in your country for 3 months, I can prolong it to 6 months if I want. After 6 months staying over there I can go home or try to get a green card.
I think my level of English is quite good, but although it's very simple. I can't read philosophy books in English or business books))) Anyway I want to improve my English while staying over there. I write and speak English by myself. My spoken English is good too. We have Discovery channel here in English (my friend has cable TV, so I come to watch it!). I like this channel so much! Very interesting!
I'm sending four pics for you. One is me with my dog Lima. I like animals!! Another one is me last summer in Sochi (South of Russia) near the black sea. The view is very beautiful!!!! Another one is me near the window and home. And the last one is me with my sister. Vica.
I live in small town here in Russia, and I decided to find someone by Internet not to be alone when I make my trip. The life is different in every country and I think it's hard to live there when you don't know anybody.
I can do some simple job as a waitress, or to work in some shop. And later when I improve my English I want to find a better job!
I will start my trip from Moscow, I will go there to pass English tests and have an interview. I think everything will be OK!
Working program helps me to get the visa, permission for work and all travel documents and they will help me to get job. It's a special program for young people who is not lazy and make some money.
Also they can settle me with another girls from Russia and Brazil who came to work there too, it's very cheap.
Here I can earn only about 100-150$ a month to work from mornig till evening (my city is really small).
I think I can change my life and see many wonderful things and just different life. I am full of plans and different dreams.
I am sure you will be not disappointed to meet me in the real life!!!
I don't have a special plan or something like that for a new relationship, I'm open to everything! I don't want to be an abuse for you, if you will not want me as your woman, we can be just friends!
But I hope you like me and my photos!
I had a boyfriend, but it was nothing serious and we broke up one year ago because he moved to Vladivostok.
OK, I will finish this email... I don't know what else I could write you in my first email. Your questions are welcomed! Please answer me even if you don't like me, because you are the only man I am responding to. If you don't like me I will continue my search. I hope so much to receive your answer!!!
I hope we can have a nice communication by emails so I will know somebody is waiting for me over there! Not so long time to wait for me, really?
I hope you are my soulmate and we match each other!
Next time I can answer your questions if you have some and tell you about my family, send you many pics of my family, also more of my photos!!!
Tell me about yourself and the place where you live! And send me photos!
Please write me at this mailbox, "krasivaya" - the name of my mailbox means "beautiful" in Russian.
Sincerely,
Irina
2nd Letter
just want to send you two more pics. One of them was taken recently on the wedding of my good friend. I hope I will find a good man and marry marry too someday. Another one was taken last summer at the balcony of my friend. I don't have free time now, I will write you a longer email about everything later today.
We have to buy presents for New Year with my mother. I know you have Christmas soon but Russian people celebrate Christmas in January.
bye!!!!!!!!!
3rd Letter
Bob, hello! Thank's for your reply so much!!! I hope soon I will be able to come to your area by my birthday and we will meet each other! I'm not sure why I picked you but I feel something special about you!
I hope you are having very happy Christmas!!!!! Russian people celebrate New Year more then Christmas. Tell me how do you celebrate Christmas!!!!
Thank you for pics!
This time I will write you more about myself. I think you should know more about my life and my hobbies so you will know if we have any common interests.
So you already know my full name. I'm 26 years old, not that young I think? My birthday is January 11. I'm 168 cm tall (5.6.) and 51 kg weight (about 120 pounds, I'm not sure how much it is in pound but I'm not fat!). I don't know exactly my bust-waist-hips measurements, I don't have a reason to measure it because I think it's OK and my body is proportionate )) I take care of my body, I do aerobics three times a week and two times a week I go to the swimming pool twice a week.
I have a younger sister, you can see her with me on photos. She is 16 years old now.
We live with our parents in 2 room apartment.
The name of my city is Angarsk, it's near Irkutsk city. Angarsk is quite small city and Irkutsk is a large city, the main city in our district.
Have you ever heard about the lake Baykal? It's near Irkutsk! It's the deepest and cleanest lake in the whole world. It's very beautiful!
I graduated from Irkutsk Humanitarian University two years ago, contemporary dance faculty. Yes we have such faculty in Humanitarian University! So I'm a professional dancer. I don't want to have a dancer's career because I will have not much time for my private life and for relationship with a man. I work as a dance teacher, I teach children from 12 to 17 years how to dance! Also I have a certificate of fitness instructor, this is my another hobby. So it would be perfect if later I will find a work as instructor or teacher of dances!!! I think it's a very good job for a woman, I'm always in a good shape and I keep myself not that busy!
Do you know how to dance? If not I can teach you!
I can dance many different styles.
When I come to your city I will work as a waitress in a restaurant. I would like to work as a dance teacher but I think you understand it's not possible to arrange such work by Internet because they want to see how well I dance.
Anyway I will try to find such work when I come over there. Or maybe not a dancer but aerobics instructor, I think it's also very good job.
I'm sending few photos for you today! I hope you are not tired to look at my photos?
The first one is me in summer.
The second one is me with my mom. We are in the theatre.
The third one is me playing pool.
One the last two pics you can see my portrait. On the pic with my sister the image is not clear so I'm sending one more pic of my portrait. Do you like this picture? My father drew my portrait and presented it to me. He is a retired engineer now but he loves to paint and do it very well. He doesn't have any special education for it but I like his paintings!
My sister Vica will finish school and enter the university. I'm happy my parents will be not alone when I leave the for another country. Of course I will miss everybody but I want to have my own happiness!
In winter I like skiing, although we have cold winters... our summers are warm usually.
I color my hair to blond. The natural color of my hair is fair. I hope that's not a problem for you or you like natural color of hair?
My father is 59 years old now, my mom is 44. You see my mom is much younger then my father and they are very happy together. My mother is a teacher of music in the school. I can play piano also, she teached me how to play piano. I finished music school and I still play piano about once a week.
I like classic music, jazz, rock, lounge. I like music at all!
I want to try how to ride a motorcycle someday! I've never tried it!
Do you have an International Airport in your city? Please write me it's name an code. Or write me the name of the nearest Airport to you.
I write you my emails from Internet cafe, I don't have my own computer.
If you want I can call you when I'm in Moscow, it would be nice to talk to you. I will be really happy to call you from Moscow. Now I'm not at home often and of you call me my father will pick up the phone and he can't speak any English and he will be shocked to hear the English speech. I still didn't tell him about you but I'm going to tell him this week, I will write you about his thoughts on this topic!
I suppose in few days I will leave for Moscow and start my trip!
There is no any messenger in this Cafe so we can only keep emailing each other. I hope you are not getting bored to read my emails?
My address here is Russia, Angarsk, Gogolya 24 street, flat 6.
So now you have a representation of who I am....
I just can tell you that I enjoy life and I try to live to the fullest, I like to try new things. I'm not that smart.. I was not that good in mathematics, physics, biology and so on! But I'm very tender, caring, artistic, faithful, decent person.
Sometimes I can be not well organized, I think everybody had it's own minuses and pluses.
I don't look any special qualities in a man. I just hope he will be faithful to me and ready to create a happy family with me and I will do everything to make him happy. I'm looking for a soulmate!
OK... it's time to finish my email. I'm sending a kiss by the wind to you and if I sent it to the right destination you should receive it by evening )))) I hope you will catch my kiss somehow )))
bye!
Irina
4th Letter
I just want to add few things... I think last time I wrote you not all
my thoughts... My mind is always in a mess when I write you because
it's hard to write everything to somebody who is so far away. I don't
remember if I wrote last time I've never been married, don't have
kids but I love them and they love me! I wrote you I teach children
how to dance and I know how to understand their wishes and worries.
I don't smoke, drink occasionally.
And I want to tell you that I always wanted to find an older man.
Why? I have two answers..
Firstly, I think older men are much more serious and they can take
care of me, they are more experienced in life and can teach me many
things. "The older the violin, the sweeter the music" I believe in it...
I think I'm not that young already but I
don't have much experience in life and I want to have someone who has
more experience in life then me.
Secondly... maybe I'm not right about it... but I want to be honest
I've always had such worry... if I marry a man nearly my age...
and after some years I will become not that young and beautiful... I
think it's more hard for a woman to be attractive then for a man...
and he will find a younger mistress and I will become very miserable.
I don't want my man to be unfaithful. I know I can be faithful to my
man and I will never cheat on him.
But this is just my worries. This is not my goal. Please tell me if
you think you will love your woman at any age and not find a younger
one? Can you be faithful?
And sorry my profile was not accurate. Honestly I thought it will be
just like a joke to post my profile, I just wanted to try if my
English is well enough to talk to someone from another country and I
wanted to know if I can communicate with foreign people. But now it's
not just I want to try my skills... I became attracted to you and I
really want to meet you. If you will not like me or something else we
can be just friends.
I hope I will get my work visa soon in Moscow and all documents and
come to you! I don't have any area limits with this visa so I can work
where I want.
And one more thing.. i'm sending few pics of my city from different
seasons so you can see where I live. You can see pics of the building
where I live, the building where I work. Also I'm sending one pic from
Sochi (as I wrote you it's the Black Sea) where we went with my
sister.
I'm just trying to be honest with you and write you all my thoughts on
different issues. Please be always honest with me also....
I will write you later, I will look if I have more nice photos to send
you.
Have a good day!
Again Merry Christmas!!!
5th Letter
Bob! It's good to write you again! I think I'm a lucky girl to meet such good mas as you in Internet! I hope I will be lucky enough to meet you in the real life!!!!!!!!
I like the pics you sent me!
Yesterday I told my parents about you. They said now they worry about me not that much as before because they know you are a kind man and can help me if I need your help. You can show me your city and tell me about the life over there!
I'm sending five pics for you. The first one is me on my bed where I sleep, the next two pics is me with my friends. The next one is just a pic of myself.. and the last one is me near the Black Sea.
I think I didn't write you I like to cook. I will cook Russian cuisine for you! Pelmeni, vareniki, blini, borsch, okroshka! You will like it! Besides Russian cuisine I like Italian and Mexican. I love spaghetti and pizzza!!!!! mmmmmmm ! I can't like without it! I like Mexican food because it's very spicy, although I don't cook Mexican dishes too often. I've been told my cooking is very tasty!
I like to cook cakes. My favorite is cheese-cake with raspberry! You know... when I talk about food I'm getting hungry ))) I eat everything and I'm not on any diets but usually I don't eat after 7 pm. This helps me not to be fat!
I can cook many tasty things for you when we meet! You know.. almost all Russian men are like bears! They are so rude, they can't be nice and polite, they don't want to have a family. I think you are not like them.
I like to go to the cinema! I really like to watch a good movie with my friends. 50 of movies in our cinemas are Russian and about 50 American. Yesterday I've seen a great historical movie!!! It is called "Nomad". I really liked it so much! It was produced by Khazakhfilm (Khazakhstan is situated near Russia) and there you can see some good American actors! One of directors of this movie is a well known Russian director Sergey Bodrov. If you didn't see this movie find it and watch! I advice it to you!
Actually my favorite actor is Johnny Depp and I like all movies with him. I've watched Pirates of the Carribean (part 2) 10 days ago! I think the second part is not as good as the first part. Have you seen it?
Soon I want to go to the premier of new movie with Cameron Diaz - Holiday. I think it will be really nice comedy! I like this actress.
Could you recommend me any American movie so I can watch it?
What is your favorite movie and actor?
Some time age I watched "Perfume" (by a novel of Patrick Zuskind).
I've read this novel and I like it so much! Breathtaking! Anyway I think the book is better then the movie.
Soooooooooooooooo......... what else could I say?
I have a driver's licence but I don't have a car. My father has a Russian car and he gives me his car sometimes.
I like not only the cinema! I like theatre and opera too, I like ballet.
Unfortunately there is only one small theatre in my city and there is nothing interesting. If I want to go to ballet, for example, I should go to Irkutsk, there sometimes can come famous Russian actors and dancers but I can't go there often because it's quite expensive.
And now I have some good news for you! After sending this email I will go home, pack my bags and tomorrow I will go to Irkutsk! >From there I will fly to Moscow! I was on a plane only two times in my life and I'm afraid to fly! I hope my plane will not fall down! I'm really afraid! So it is several hours from Irkutsk to Moscow and I will come to Moscow late night. I don't think I will live in hotel there, it's very expensive. You know, by statistics Moscow is the more expensive city in the world after Tokyo.
I will rent a room in apartment, it will be cheap. Of course it will be very modest but it's OK for me!
I decided to go to Moscow before the New Year for three reasons:
1. There are good discounts for these days.
2. I want to see how people in bigs city Moscow celebrate New Year.
3. There is a saying in Russia - You will spend all new year like you celebrate it. I want to start my new life right in new year!
When I come to Moscow and settle down I will write you an email. I hope tomorrow I will be able to write me. Please don't worry about me if you don't hear from me tomorrow, that will mean I was not able to find a place to stay and I will write you after tomorrow. Anyway, I hope I will write you tomorrow!!!
In Moscow I will spend a week or maybe even more, I should make all final arrangements with my documents and after it I will come to you!
I've never been to Moscow before and I'm so nervous now... I've never went somewhere alone and now I should go alone to such big city!
You know... I had such great desire to start my trip already.. and now I feel myself like a newborn kitten who has even didn't open it's eyes... I just want to hug my mommy and don't want to go anywhere...
but I know that's my dream to start a new life and I will try to turn in to reality! Soon you will hear some news from me from Moscow!!!!!!!!
Love and kisses!
I hope I'm the one for you!
From both nervous and excited,
Irina
6th Letter
HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I'm so excited to write you again!!!!!!!!!! I'm in Moscow! You can't imagine how happy I am that I already started my trip to you!
I still cannot believe I've done it! WoW! As I wrote you I was scared to fly on the plane but everything was OK and I'm still alive )))) Moscow is a really big city! I've been told the population of Moscow is about 10 million of people! From the Airport I went by bus... it was so long way... about 1 hour and 30 minutes. I've seen so many nice places in Moscow while going by bus!
When I got off the plane in the Moscow Airport policeman asked me about passport and he looked at me like I am an enemy ))) I think all people here (and everywhere) are a little crazy because of terrorism.
Everything here is very expensive, not like in my city... and everywhere are big crowds of people! Everywhere is so many people! I'm still uncomfortable about it but I feel soon it will be OK. I've been to few shops here today and I see goods are much more expensive here then in my native city.
I found a place to stay, I rent a room from an old woman. She is about 70 years old. She said her husband died 2 years ago and she has two grown up children but they are already married and don't come to visit her very often so she is alone and she has not much money so she give in rent rooms in her apartment. She is very nice woman )) She said I have to be very careful. You know... she said many girls from small cities come to big cities... or even abroad... they are looking for a better future and fortune but because they are from small cities they didn't imagine their way to find the happiness can be not as easy as they thought... and some of them can end up as prostitutes or something like that. She said I should be careful when I meet you!! But I don't worry about you! I feel with all my heart you are really nice man! And I think I'm enough educated not to end up as a prostitute and I will find my happiness!
Sorry I wrote you about my worries.. I have nobody to write about it.
My parents and my sister are worried enough about me and I don't want to make them worry more. I think that's really good I've met you! I can write you about everything.
I miss my parents... but I'm getting better with every hour )) Now I'm very hungry and I will go and eat something.
Please confirm the name of airport and be sure you wrote it right.
Please confirm me your full name and telephone number.
Please don't be mad! I just want to be sure I have your contacts! This way I will feel more confident.
I am afraid to make any mistake... I hope everything will be fine.
I've been told I may have all further information about my trip today or tomorrow.
As soon as I learn it I will write you an email!!! I don't have enough time now to write more things.
7th Letter
the internet cafe will be closed in 5 min I just want to say I didn't forget about you and I will write you more tomorrow. I will think about you before I go to bed! Every time before I go to bed I imagine our first meeting and I want to look in your eyes so much have to go,..
8th Letter
Hello from Moscow again!!!! While staying in Moscow and I feel very exited!!
I can`t wait when we meet!!! I feel that we can spend great time together!
Today it's great holiday in Russia - New Year! I already wrote you Russian people like to celebrate New Year much more then Christmas.
Anyway I feel myself so lonely here...
Everyone rush somewhere and I don`t have any friends in relatives here.
You know in small cities (like in my city) the life is so slowly, nobody hurry somewhere and here everybody is in a hurry.
Today I was in Russian art Gallery, I really liked it. In past I saw this paintings just in books on pictures and now I`m able to see in real life. I`m so exited! I like arts so much!
I feel myself like I`m able to do everything in the world!!!
You know Madonna came to Moscow about two months ago with a concert! I've heard it was perfect!!!! Anyway if I had a choice I would choose one our meeting then ten concerts of Madonna!
I took two pics for you, I'm sorry for the quality of this pics, I didn't take my good camera with me because I'm afraid I can brake it or loose it and anyway I think my parents and sister want to use it so I have only very old camera here. One photo is me with that old woman.
I think she looks quite good for 70 years old (although I will tell you a secret, her hair is not natural, it's a wig.. I'm not sure if that's right word in English). Another photo is me in the center of Moscow not far from the Kremlin. It's very beautiful there!
Sorry I'm sad on my photos, actually I don't like to be photographed at all, I don't like myself on my photos. I don't know how to pose...
Anyway I've done this pics for you and I hope you will be satisfied with them )) Today I walked in the Gorky Park... I liked this place too.
Do you know the band Scorpions? and their song Wind of Change?
Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever.
I folow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change.
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams...
With you and me.
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away in the wind of change....
Scorpions is one of favorite bands of my father! That's why I know the words (unfortunately I don't know all words). I'm not great fan of Scorpions but I like this song very much!!!!
Do you want any souvenir from russia? Pls just tell me!!!! I already bought few magnets (again I'm not sure this is the right word, I didn't take a dictionary with me in INternet cafe but I have it with my luggage) with images of Moscow and Kremlin. You can hang up them to your refrigerator (do you have any already??). We have few magnets from Sochi on our refrigerator.
Also I bought you two little souvenir bottles of vodka ))) They are really small and just souvenirs!
Now I will go to the travel agency again and they will give me a schedule of my flight (date and time of my arrival, terminal etc.).
They asked me to make a copy of my passport (usual procedure) and I decided to send you a copy also, if you will need it.
Ok, honey, in Monday or Tuesday I will receive the information about my trip and write you about it as soon as I receive it.
Stranger in Moscow =))))
Now I will go to celebrate the New Year with that old woman!
9th Letter and Money Request
Bob! Hello again! You can imagine how happy I'm am that I already started my trip and I want to continue it. I already feel that I became closer to you )) I'm really excited about it!
Moscow still makes me both tired and excited. Anyway I'm really happy I've started everything.
When I think about you it helps me to be more strong and tolerant, I see everything is not that easy but I hope the moment of our meeting is waiting for us.
I have some news about my trip to you, please be very attentive to read my news.
The nearest possible flight is Saturday, January 6.
I really hope to be on that plane.
Today I was given the flight information. Here it is:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information for Irina Popowa.
"Marcus-Travel - LTD", Azina Natasha. Moscow,Lunacharskogo street 271,office 245. phones (7 ) (495 ) 7978174 (7 ) (495 ) 7870178
Please use our service.
Best regards. Manager|Azina Natasha.
Price: USD 1250.00+ Roundtrip tickets.Eco.class.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It would be great if you can meet me in the Airport and wait for me there. I will be very thankful to you if you can do it. If something happens and we will not be able to find each other I can call your phone number or you can make a paper with my name and hold it!
If you will be late because of your work or something else I can wait for you at the Airport... I will be tired after such big flight (I will be on the plane many hours! I'm not sure how much, I will find
out) and have some rest.
So I booked tickets and I can pass my interview only when I pay for my tickets, I didn't know about it. I can receive my visa after I pay my tickets so they want to be sure I have roundtrip tickets so I'm not going to stay illegally over there. I think there rules are too strict...
I have some money but my flight from Irkutsk to Moscow costed so much (about 550$) because it's so far from Moscow. Of course it is my fault because parents told me that I have to travel by train but I wanted to do everything faster so I took a plane...
Anyway now it's too late to sorry.
Another bad thing yet that prices of service of aerflot (tickets) became more expensive because of high gasoline price.
I didn't guess that everything costs so much and they didn't say anything. They say they arranged my trip, visa and all necessary documents and money is only my business.
I have to buy tickets till my interview because of such rule. Maybe you could borrow me some money?
I can't live here too long because every day I have to spend some money for food and rent of room.
Really expensive city. The cup of the tea costs about almost two dollars.
I think it is not too great amount I ask and I am sure I will be able to return it back in a few weeks after I arrive. I will earn some money and from the first salary I return it back to you.
in Agency they have told me that you may send it by Western Union. It is pretty easy to use they said. I have been to the bank and they gave me the information.
All you need is my name, my surname and address to send me the money. Once you do this, I'll be able to pick up the money at any local Western Union office in Moscow. We need to do it pretty fast, because we have no time till my interview, if everything is all right I will be on this plane!
You will send me a transfer info and MTCN ( money transfer control number) I will get cash.
Kiss you many times, I am tired today,you know it is hard enough to be in a city where you don't have any friends or relatives. So many different emotions.
Kiss you many times! see you soon!
Ah, silly me. Almost forgot to give you my full name and my address.
My address here (where I rent a room)
Country : Russia,
City : Moscow,
Address : Novodvorskiy Pereulok 72-21
post code : 117932
Full name Irina Popowa
I have about 300 US dollars. Please try to send about 960 US dollars so I will be sure I have enough money for all my travel needs and flight. I know you will try to help me!
I can't wait to hug you when we meet! If you can't meet me at the Airport we can meet somewhere in the city, but I don't know how much the taxi cost over there. I'm glad I have a job lined up and when we meet each other maybe you will even want to have closer relationship with me and maybe we can even live together someday! If you want! It's just my dreams... But if you don't want to live with me I will live with other girls who came to work too.
see you soon!!! You are a great man and I hope you will not live me alone in Moscow and help me!
Robert
