Marina Lyzhina/Marina
Mikhailova (Murmansk, Russia)
Marina Lyzhina 183010, Russia, city of
Murmansk, Sovetskaya street, 12 - 22.
I'm a 25-year-old student from Germany, right now located in USA, HI.
She or he met me through Datingfaces.com, the mail contact stayed for 4
weeks. It was about her love to me. She wanted to come over to USA. I should pay
for her visa 280 Dollar. The money should be sent to: MARINA MIKHAILOVA
PETROVSKIY NARODNY BANK EGOROVA STR 6 MURMANSK , 183038
I found this black list site easily, so I got warned early enough. I did not
send money.
This is the initial letter:
Hello from far Russia! It's me again! I hope you remember I wrote you a little
message before. My name is Marina as you understand... It is interesting to write
something to another side of the world. I'm a little afraid that you will not answer
to me but I continue anyway to write to you this message. As I understand you
would love to know some more about me and my life here. If so I'll try to describe
me a little... I'm a simple girl that live for the some happiness. I'm looking for my
half in life very hard but have too few results. Of course I had many boyfriends
but it is not for me! I'm looking for my happiness, for one and only half...
I'm 26 years old already and I know something about this cruel life around.
I had so many disappointments already that I almost tired to find someone
who will understand me completely 100 percent. May be I'm a little hurring
some- times but I'm very serious girl and I have very serious intentions for this
chance to find someone through Internet. I was advised to do it by my best
man-friend. His name is Alexander. He is so good boy. We are real friends
>from early childhood! We lived together from 3 years old in one house at
the same entrance. We were friend for hole life and I hope that it will continue
until we die. I understand that it sounds some strange to be friends with
man and no more for all this time but it is so - we understand each other
>from one sight. It is like twins or... I can't describe it using words - it
should be felt by yourself. So he works at the agency of acquaintance through
Internet and he promised me to find me a man that I'm looking for in life!
The one problem is the fact that I have never been out Russia but I have
a great desire to do it! I hope that someday my wish will come true!!!
So some words about my family. I'm alone at the family - I have no brothers
and sisters and I feel so alone sometimes. I live apart with parents but I
love them very much. They are very great parents. They love me too - as the one
child in the family. My mom's name is Anastasia and dad's - Konstantin.
Mom works as pharmacist at the drugstore and father - at the factory as
engineer. They are very simple and I have good intentions with them. I can
say that I have no any problems with them... Some words about the place I live in. I live in Russia in the
city of Murmansk. It is northern town and is already cold here. Snowing together
with rain - the weather is not quite good but it is not a great problem because I'm
a great optimist in life. I'm not giving up in my desire to find my best man and I'm
sure - I will someday!!! U-u-u-h! I will stop for now. Sorry I forgot to say you that I
write from Internet centre and I have not too much time to write big letters. I have
so many things to tell you if you will be interested to know more about me!
I'll wait for your answer and I want to know more about you as much as you
will be possible to write! I want to hear about you, your country, parents,
friends... I wish you to answer to me very much because I think that I like
you! Marina. p.s. I hope that my English is not a problem in continuing of our
conversation! By the way what do you think about how am I looking like?

Here is the final letter requesting money:
Hi my best Ralph! I'm so glad again writing a letter to you from Russia. I know it
sounds a little official but I feel that today is very important day. I finally
found the information about what do I need to get the visa and to make my
dream come true and to come to you my love! I think that the best way for me is to get Tourist
visitors visa. It is the easiest way to come to you. Sure it will be very hard to get
it nevertheless but I hope that I can do it with your help! It has one
weakness - it allow to stay in your country for only three months but I
hope that after coming that time I will have a chance to prolong it. I was
said that it is possible. I heard there are many events when girls from Russia got Tourists visas
and after that got married and stayed abroad. So I think that we can be
together too! How do you think? Am I right? I have known about total cost of preparing of all papers I need
to come to USA. It has appeared more than 200 USD as I said before. It is
needed 280 USD to make everything: visa, applications and passport. It is big
sum of money that I can't get in even several months. I hope that you can help
me to find that kind of money to make our dream come true. By the way I can get
my visa in already two weeks! I was so pleased to hear this! It means that we can
meet so soon as I didn't ever dreamed! I'm really happy to know that! So I need
280 dollars as soon as it will be possible for you to send. I hope that I don't ask
too much from you! You can send them through the system Western Union.
When you will send the money they will give you Money Transfer Control Number
(MTCN). This is ten digits. If you send me that MTCN by e-mail I can get your
money at my bank here in Russia. I'll give you the adress of Western Union here
in Murmansk that best of all to get for me: PETROVSKIY NARODNY BANK EGOROVA STR 6
MURMANSK , 183038 The money are to send for my name - MARINA
MIKHAILOVA!!! Yes I don't mistake - this is my name by passport. But Lyzhina is my
mother's surname before she was married. It is not important when you send me something by mail - this name is usable but in Western Union
they asking for passport and there is my real surname Mikhailova. So I
hope this is quite understandable for you. Another important information is that I need
information about the closest airport to you. This information will help to get the
ticket with big discount! This was asked by my aunt Irina. She promised for me to
make this good deal and can't express thanks to her for this! As you see I speak
too much about money. I hate this world for it is controlled by the money! But
without your help I will never see you! Unfortunately we are to pay to be together!
It's so pity! I'd love to fly to you simply with help of my love-wings that carry me in
my dreams about I will meet you and we will live together forever until death!!!
I love you so much! My parents were not very good with that idea for us to
be together firstly. They thought it is so far and dangerous! But I convinced
them to let me be with my beloved and they agree with me at the end. All
my friends wish for me to be the happiest girl in the world to be together!!!
Sorry if I may be offend you asking the money. But I hope that in your next
letter I'll read very good news for us my love! I need you. I dream of you! I love to think about you. I'm so
crazy.... Marina.

Lyzhina/Marina Mikhailova (Omsk, Russia)
I am a single white American man, 36, and I repair computers for a living. The
above named person contacted me via my ad at datingfaces.com. First contact
was on October 6, 2001. It is ending as of December 14, 2001. You will find an
exact copy of one of her letters and photos of her at http://www.womenrussia.com/blackpage48.htm#mikhailova1
I fortunately got suspicious after the first request for money, especially
after I had sent an email detailing my financial situation, and asking
numerous questions that never got answered. I have not and will not send
her/him/it any money. I only came across this site after doing an internet
search on the words to a "poem" she wrote for me.
Craig
Marina
Lyzhina/Marina Mikhailova (Russia)
Hi, I my name is Rich. I am 33 yrs old and single.
I wasn't looking for a Russian girl when I joined the datingfaces.com service, but I was curious when I recieved a
short email from Marina.She told me how she loved my profile (it actually is very
vague, with little info on me personally). I decided to reply to her out of
curiousity, and she replied back with her picture and info about herself. She claimed to be a
school teacher. She told me about her good friends Katya and Carl. Apparently
Carl is a German fellow who met Katya by the internet, and they were moving
together to Berlin. She told me about her mum and dad, her dog Bobik, her lost
love Igor, etc..
She really went through a lot of work to make these letters so personal.
I thought sending a picture of her dog was a nice touch. Anyway, I became suspicious
because despite all the questions I asked her in my letters, she answered only
maybe to one. She kept telling me how much she loved me, missed me, and
needed to be with me. She started sounding very obsessive, still I thought maybe
she is just desperate to get out of Russia. Well, the last letter confirmed what I
was trying not to believe. Every place in the email where my name appeared was
replaced by an error message: %TOFNAME
It was a form letter. She forget to enter my name. See for yourself:
Hi my love %TOFNAME!!! Again it was so happy for me to receive your
warm love words from your answer on my last letters to you my love %TOFNAME, I want to
say to you that your letters are so necessary for me my darling, I can't without
your tender and gentle lovely words for me my dear %TOFNAME, my darling, I

mum rong to our aunt Olga to Moscow and my mum tried to learn about the
costs of necessary documents that I can to fly to you, but my aunt said to my
mum that she will say about it on quick days because my aunt havn't a free time
to speak about it by phone. But my aunt said to my mum that she is very
shocked that I will go to USA to you my dear, my mum said to my aunt Olga that
we with you have met through an Internet. My aunt Olga said to my mum that
she is very happy for that her niece, as me, found a so good man as you my
%TOFNAME. My aunt said that she will do all about quick inform about the
necessary documents to fly to you and about the cost of the air ticket, but she
said that my fling to you will be very expensive. My mum agreed with my aunt in
this. By the way my aunt Olga asked at my mum that will you help me with my
coming, my mum said to Olga that we don't know about it now, but we hope that
you will help us with my coming to you my darling. Also, my aunt at the
end of their speaking by the phone said to you a hot friend and future
relative hi and she wish us with you a happy family life. My darling, I want to say to you that my
parents and my more girlfriends are very happy for that we will together soon my
dear %TOFNAME, but I want to say to you that, as I told you, a teacher Lydmila
think about our love is very bad. I think that simple she simple envies us very
much. She said that all men promise to womans a happy life and love on a
beautiful words, and she said that you are not exception. She said that you
speak a beautiful words only and that you willn't to undertake all of effort for our
quick meeting and she said also that simple all men are people who promise on
words very much, but on actions, as since sides of of the gentleman, they are
weak people. Also she said that you willn't help me with my coming to you my
dear %TOFNAME, it was insulting for me from her words. My dear %TOFNAME,
I cried from her words very much, she said me a dirty lie, realy my %TOFNAME?
She think about all men very bad, I don't know why? Why she think about men so
bad. I think that she don't and willn't understand so happy feelings as love
between woman and man. My dear, I want to say to you that I don't want to work
in this school, it is so pity for me, because from teacher Lydmila. I want to say to
you that also Lydmila the distant relative our director adjusts against me a
director, the fact in that Lydmila is the distant relative of our director. Lydmila said
to our director that he will forbid me to use the computer for my writing to you,
she said that the computer is not for the love feelings, she said that the computer
is for work of needs only. When I heared it, I cried my dear %TOFNAME. Why
Lydmila so bad to me and to us with you my darling? Why? I don't understand it
my %TOFNAME. My darling, I want to say to you that I willn't can to go
against our Lydmila because she is a relative of our director, but by the way I want to say
to you that I speak with our director too. He said that I don't to pay of attention on
Lydmila, but since other side he can't go against Lydmila too because they are
relatives. But he said me that I can use the computer for my writing to you my
dear %TOFNAME, because he is a good man and he said that he understand my
love to you %TOFNAME and he said me that he have agood wife which he love
very much and he told also about their love with his wife too, I thank our director
than he has solved me to use the computer that I can to write you my dear, but
he repeat me that he can't to go against Lydmila, he said that, possible and I
think it is true, that Lydmila will to render on me moral pressure, he said also that
it will be better for me that, if I don't want to work with Lydmila in one
school, I can to leave with my work. My darling, I don't want that Lydmila offended me by
her silly statements. I don't want to work in this school with this so bad woman
Lydmila my darling, I don't want to hear her of the insult never. I want to say to
you that my mum and dad, Katya and Carl calmed me after Ludmila's words. I
cried on shoulders of Katya. Katya and Carl said me that all will ok, because
we with you love each other, and any Lydmila willn't to prevent us when we will
together with you my love %TOFNAME, they said also that it will be better that I
will to leave from my job in the school and I will prepare to my coming to you my
dear %TOFNAME, my parents and Katya and Carl said me that they are indignant by the bad words of
Lydmila, is especial my dad. He don't want that her daughter as me willn't to offend anybody. By the way my parents and Katya and
Carl sure that you will a good husband for me, and also that you willn't to

did not write to you the name because I was afraid that you can me deceive
and take advantage of my name. But now when we with you of steel on many are
close, I can trust you.
After this, I decided to just do an Yahoo search on the name Marina
Mihailova. The search led me to the blacklist website and I saw that others
had been decieved by this fake Marina. Fortunetly I didn't send her any
money or gifts. I hope this story helps others from getting scammed.
Marina Lyzhyna/Mihailova
(Orenburg, Russia)
My name is Chuck Parsons, I am a divorced man, 44 years of age, and am
employed by the Federal Government as an aerospace engineer. I was initially
contacted by "Marina" after she saw my personal on Match.com on 12 November
2001. In her 12th letter dated 8 December 2001 Marina requested money in the
amount of $290 for the purpose of obtaining a visa to the U.S.. Her aunt "Olga" is
supposedly employed by a travel agency in Moscow and could see to it that her
visa application went quickly, but she needed the money the next day. I did not
send money, instead I began researching how money could be sent and making
sure it was delivered to the right person. In my search, I stumbled across the
BlackList and began to recognize the patterns. I contacted Western Union and
they said if there is any question, "Don't send the money". I wrote back telling
Marina I had to go out of town on business and would not be back for 3 days.
When I supposedly got back (I never left, just needed more time to study the
game), she sent another email requesting the money again. By now, I was sure
she was a phony. The letters I received from Marina were nearly word for word
what Dan put on the BlackList in the 13 December update. The first and the
"money" letters are attached as .txt files below. I then told her that until she
answered all the questions I had asked in my last email, there would be no
money. She failed to answer the questions so I sent her a note titled
"LastChance" which is attached below. She sent the letter titled "Questions" at
that time (see attachment).
Marina even called me on 14 December at 0715 CST and asked me to send her a
letter, then quickly hung up after stating she only had one minute to speak.
I sent her another letter all right, this one referenced letters I had seen
in the BlackList, and I even posted some excerpts from the list to let her
know I was on to her, and everyone else would be as soon as I could notify
the free email providers of her name, address, and all the rest of the
information I had on her. She provided me with an address: Russia Orenburg's Area
Orenburg City Gagarin Street, 25-99
When she asked for money, it was to be sent to the same Avangard Bank that
Dan listed in his posting. I receive the same pictures as Dan, plus a
couple of others that I am attaching to this message. Even though I did not
send any money, I went ahead and purchased the AntiScam Guide, and am glad I
did. It will definitely come in handy. I have not become disheartened by
this experience, but I will go into the next situation with my eyes WIDE
OPEN!!
Thank You for this service, and I am hoping more people hear about it. I am
going to request match.com, kiss.com, datadate.com, and others post this
website as a warning to those that express an interest in meeting Russian
women in these free sites.

Lyzhina/Marina Mikhailova (Murmansk, Russia)
Just a follow up on a man I saw on black
list, My name is Randall 47, Louisiana
The girl that wrote me used the exact same letter as a man from Fla.
Scott, where she ask for the 200 dollars. The only difference she sent me
different pictures than his. her address is Marina Lyzhina,183002,Russia
city of Murmansk, Lenin street,12-22,but later she tells me to send the
money to a western union in Murmansk-Petrovskiy Narodny Bank, Egorova Str 6,Murmansk,183038, then she
said her real name was Marina Mikhailova, all the other letters she said her name
was Marina Lyzhina, on this letter she had ask for 280 dollars, any way I never sent
money cause I read about her on here, but haven't seen her picture, the
one she used, on here, yet I also had put another pic of here on here she's laying
down, with a red shirt and black pants. thanks for the help
Marina
(Omsk, Russia)
I believe that I have discovered another scam. I'm a 29 year old single father of 2 children, and work in the Information Technology field.
Originally, back in May, I was contacted by another scam (which I didn't know at the time) artist I see featured on this site. That was Elena Karaseva, from Magdan, Russia. After several letters, I sent her $220 USD. She continued to ask for money a few letters after that, and when I wouldn't send her money, I never heard from her again.
Now, in December, I received an e-mail from someone named Marina who supposedly lives in Omsk. I replied to her first letter, and she responded back. She has not asked for money yet, but in her second letter she mentioned a village named Eblanovo. That was how I found your site. Being curious as to where this village is, I did a search for it and came upon your page. The text of the letters was nearly exactly the same as Lyubov Gavrilova from Novosibirsk, Russia. I learned from my previous experience, though. If she'd asked for money, I would not have sent it! Her letters:
Letter 1

Medeia Agency
(Lugansk, Ukraine)
I have just returned from a trip to Lugansk from the
Medeia Agency is lugansk 12 Dec 2001. I want to contribute further to the scam that is going on there.
Unfortunately I have paid nearly 1000$ before I realised what was going on. The
agency keeps 30-40 ladies in a catalogue, however they are all busy. I
traveled there to meet a girl that I had been corresponding with for 8 months but when I
met her she never knew me. The agency employs translators 4 girls to write all
the letters themselves to as to make sure men from all countries will come and
visit. The asst Manager is a lady called "Irina" who controls everything, the office
is a house turned into an office, all they wanted from me during my visit was
money, money, and money. They tried to ask for 300$ dollars for international
passport for the girls, actual price only 70$, they book taxis for you 20 times more
the price than a normal cab. The lady I met did was not able to communicate with
me, and was not aware of anything about me. They use people the girls are not
real and do not exist.┘ I have much more to tell however I am so angry at being
lied to for 8 months and had all this money taken from me. DO NOT USE THIS
AGENCY it is a total scam!!!

(Odessa, Ukraine)
I ran across a profile on match.com that I was concerned about not being honest.
the user name for the profile is mila251. I contacted this profile and it led me to
another site: www.skybusiness.com This company is called interchance. It is a
marriage agency in Odessa Uk. The girl's profile is on page 51 of their website. I
contacted this girl and she sent me a couple of letters back and then asked for
me to pay for the correspondence. I was suspicious, but curious so I sent the
minimum (70.00) for one month of correspondence & translation. I have not heard
from her since - this does not surprise me and is the result I expected. I wanted to
know the site was fraudulent and the cost to find this out was minimal. But I want
to tell others to watch out for this website and it seems that your website is a very
good place to warn others that may see something that appears to good to be
true. I

MY STORY: You have heard it before. It is as classic as it
gets. She contacted me, fell in love with me, wanted me to send money to get her to the USA. Then,
did not hear from her. Naturally, since that is the case, she stole the money. Her
and the gang I suspect. Please warn others and hopefully she will be caught.
She owes me about $2,500 dollars. Thanks!!
Alan
I had no phone number as she declared she did not have
a phone. Attached are three photos of Olga.
And here is the content of her letters which I suspect
are similar for her victims:

when you doubt, Faith so that you can believe, Courage to know yourself, Patience to accept the truth, And love to complete your life. I asked the Lord to
bless you As I prayed for you today To guide you and protect you As you go
along your way.... His love is always with you His promises are true, You know

I am glad read your letters and glad write to you
Alan!. Wow as there are a lot of problems in your last letter. But I shall try to
respond on them. Here there is my not translated address as you asked:
Россия, 630058, Новосибирск, улица
тружеников 14-23 . School number 119, where I work is near my house, so I
should not far catch on activity. And concerning photos, which one I dispatched to
you, they is true very much high qualities, and such I not so have a lot of also
they to me also very much like. I am well. And how you? Whether I will be
happy with you? I loved once, but it was necessary(not Good luck) also I want,
that such once again was. I know that in this time I love at all my life. I
try to make all correctly. I promise the mum, that I will be write to her the
letters and till an opportunity to come to her. I will be work and I can earn money on
trip to her. Excuse, that I so speak, but I wait that we will be
together. I not hurry you about a marriage. It we to decide together. Why the people
love each other???? It is a question, on which else nobody has found the
answer. It speaks them heart and reason. It is impossible to trust only heart. It is
necessary to feel it and to know the man. I love you, because I had not meet
such man as you. And if I remain one, I more never will be with the man. I
know it. My heart will be broken for ever. My ideal husband and my love
there will be you. The large house, money is not necessary for me. It is all
material things and I not want to speak about it. If the man to have good hands and
head on shoulders, he can ensure(supply) himself. You are necessary only
and your love for me. How is about children? It is important, but it is a
question, which should be decided(solved) together. I not have any right to
put conditions. The child, this most beautiful essence in the world, in which
is necessary to enclose all force and soul. It not a thing, which is
possible to buy. It is a particle itself. Also it is necessary to be at first ready
to birth of the child. I to not want be always one. My principle joint life
such, that I too to want to work, let not so intensively as you, as I still woman
and should watch(keep up) an apartment and prepare meal. I will be to give
our children it is a lot of time. The instinct of the mother and woman lives in
me. I love you and to want always be near to you. You to know, that I can not
live without you. I send you one million kiss, that they to warm you. I give myself
only to you. So it is bad without you and I can not so long. I
understand, that it is very complex(difficult), that I arrive to you, but without
it we shall not be happy. When I read your letters, I understand, that I
happiest in the world. But when I work, to go home to have a rest, I understand that I
have no you near to me. I feel your love, but you so far. I dream be with
you. Excuse, that this letter such sad, but I decide tell you, that I
very much very much very much require you and love you. I will be wait your fast
reply. I love you. Your girlfriend and love (but for the present all lonely) Olga.
PS When I fall asleep I present us together that we we are floating on a sail at
ocean and kiss eachother. I I stand in one cowards so it is very heat. Your to
embrace me the waists are lower. And I see dream about us...
Hello my sweet Alan. What do you do in this weekend? Yes you have exact
my address translated and not translated. I also have received your letter with
three options. I am very grateful to you for that that you try that I have arrived to you.
But also I also work for this purpose very strongly. Today, on Monday since a
morning I caught to the girlfriend in travel agency to learn(find out) as there are
business concerning my visa. She(it) has told that while all goes well and
she(it) thinks, that your option maiden will work and I shall come to you. But
she(it) has told, that that version when you for yourselves buy the ticket,
and I select it(him) in an airport, can not give to
reliance(confidence) for embassy. Really this version can not work for
us in Russia. Here there are a lot of problems with it. My girlfriend has told, that a safest way it to enumerate money to
me here and I shall have the substantial evidences for embassy. She(it) also has
told, that if you will transmit to me money on Monday in the evening or on Tuesday since a morning,
she(it) is sure that on environment or on Thursday me will give the visa. I think,
that now my destiny is in your arms completely. Know, I yesterday thought of our
ratioes. When I present for one minute, that I have no you in my life and are not
present your letters to me it became very bad. I have understood, that I can not
without you any more. Me actually to not suffice you. To me to not suffice your
care and your love. One thought, that I can lose you to do(make) to me poorly and
I can not present myself. I do not know, that with me then will be. I do not want to
lose you. We already rather long to write eachother. And I think that our feelings
to prove, that we to love each other. We should connect our hearts. And to be
together all life. I am real very much love you. I shall wait for your letter and
to think of you. I miss and I wait our meeting. Yours FUTURE wife Olga.
Hi my love Alan. I today caught in bank to receive
money, but could not receive them. There me have told, that money on this number is not
present. I very bad also have begun to cry directly in bank. Then I have come home and has told all
about happened to the theta. She(it) too has begun to cry together with me. But
she(it) has told me to descend(go) in school and to look mail from Alan. I

but I all the same pay. Because I am guilty in all it. I do not know all delicacies of
the English language, and I can not absolutely precisely translate all words. Most
likely you have an incorrect title of a street on which one I dwell. Business that
some Russian words have only one transfer(translation) in English. It me
also is spoken by(with) the people near me. I already am afraid to translate this
word, which one calls my street to lower your confidence to me. I am certainly guilty
only in it. Forgive me please, I not excellent own English. I already simplly am
afraid to you to write on English. You me can again not exact understand. This
word of my street has many values in Russian, and on English I know only one. I
very much apologize before you Alan. I already simplly I am afraid to write this
word, but I shall try to write to you by his(its) English characters as it the
nonsense sounds on Russian - simplly, but I do(make) it only for you. A street of
the workers: "rabochih" or "trujenikov". I very much apologize before you for it. I
am guilty only in it. I already was has told to the girlfriend, that you have
transmitted to me money to the ticket and she(it) very much was delighted
there was, and here such to a mountain. Report to me that you think. With
tears on eyes, yours Olga.
I am happy, that you have written to me Alan.

together with you!!!! I love you my Prince. Only your wife Olga!!! Ps I hope that you
understand me.
Tania
(Rostov, Russia)
This is the same person listed in the most recent blacklist update. She contacted
me through friendfinder.com. her profile name is "tan2002", email
tnn2002@krovatka.net. She is supposed to be from Rostov. I am an American
38yo and this is the second time I have almost been scammed. Lubov
Gavrilova, from Novosibirsk, Siberia, almost had me sending her money, but I paid $95 for a
background check and found her to not be a real person and that the address
she(he) gave me belonged to a man. In these 2 cases, my first tip off was that
personal messages to myself were always as a "p.s." at the end of what is a form
letter. Your blacklist is a great tool for those wishing to possibly find a real
Russian lady for love and marriage. I find it very sad that people scam another
person when one's heart is open.
Letter
Greetings my love Kevin. Forgive I might not write to you earlier
because I worked for us nothing also to me simply there are no place
you to write the letter. I so to experience. It was very hurt me also
grief. And today at last I can write to you and this such happiness. I

the grandfather on a visit and have told to it(him) about us it(he) so was delighted
for me. It(he) speaks that you very lovely person and it(he) now may I am quiet die
time in good hands but I certainly to abuse it(him) for such ideas. I
hope that it(he) for fun has told it. I very much love it(him). It(he)
and you the most my dear people. But you do not think that I do not
love mum, I love her(it) on special. She(it) at me the remarkable
person but very far and never under any circumstances does not want to
approach with us. I and to it(her) recently went and have told about
you. She(it) has seized me by a hand and has told the daughter be happy also to nobody to give the happiness. I to it(her) have promised
it because she(it) for the first time for long years have made and a
