Vasilya sharipova, App. 9, Kirpichnaya street 14, Tomsk, 634049, Russia
I am a single father, one son, white canadian, 36 years old, self-employed.
I was on dating site named Plentyofish and few others of the same type. I
think Vasilya have been reported to this site as a known scamer. As soon as
i received the first letter, asking me to write on his personnal e-mail
Vasilya_milashkahone@yahoo.ca, she disappear from the dating site. First
contact in march 2008, last money request may 10 2008. I have received more
or less 25 messages from Vasilya. Money request appears after only 5 or 6
mail. She used exactly the same identity, photos and letters previously. I
received all the letters of the precedent report. I know that every word is helpful to spot them. So, i have decided to send
more than less, as a way to describe more accuratly the letter pattern they
use most often.
Letters:
My birthday on December, 3rd 1979. Yes, I am going to come to your country
in May. Somewhere in the middle of May. I am going to enter the University
or college. I am doing all the paperwork for this now. That's why I asked
you about the colleges or Universities close to your place. So I could study
and meet with you there. Do you want it?As soon as I finish this letter I
will go and have a short walk. You know walking is one of the things I adore. It is so nice to have a long
walk and then find some small cafe and get a cup of coffee there. I don't
have a car and I don't really want to have it right now. And it is too
expensive for me. I have no money to buy a car. I have never tried to drive
a car and I have no license. Walking is much more pleasant. Unfortunately,
most of the times I have to walk alone. All my friends are married and they
try to spend more time with their families. I also like to go to the movie a
lot. But do it rather seldom. Usually I go there with my friends, but they
don't do this often. They try to spend more time with their husbands and
children. As I don't have children and a husband, I try not to bother them
often. Sometimes I feel rather lonely but I try not to think of this often.
Any way, my city is too beautiful not to walk. My city is very beautiful.
There are so many places of culture there, lots of monuments. It is very
green. It is especially beautiful in spring and in summer time when
everything is awaken after the winter. There are also many parks and we
have one boulevard with fountains. And it is gorgeous. Also we have some
really beautiful churches. I am Christian but I am not really religious. I
have my own faith inside. And I go to the church but do it seldom. I am not
fanatic about this. I like nature very much and it is always a please to go
somewhere to the country-side and to spend a day there. I like picnics,
camping a lot. It is great to spend a day on the fresh air, especially when
you are ith friends or family. I try to enjoy it every time we do it but
sometimes I feel very sad as I miss not having my second half near. Well, I
am not going to be sad, as I am sure everything will be fine. Please, tell
me about your city? What is it? What's interesting there?
Vasilya.
Dear friend!
Such a pity there is no reply from you. I was waiting so much for your
letter. Hope that you've got my previous e-mail where I sent you my mail
address. I am going from the post office. I decided to send my parents a
letter. As I already told you I am not really in good relations with them.
But any way, they are my parents and I love them. I also have a brother and
he is younger than me and they give him all the love they have. They always
loved him more than me and didn't pay much attention to me. My mum wanted to
have a son very much and she couldn't get pregnant for a long time and she
was very happy when she got to know she was going to have a son. Of course,
it hurts to know that they love him a lot and are not very interested in my
life. But if they are happy, I am glad for them. I moved to Tomsk when
I was 17. I entered the Pedagogical Institute and studied for an educator. I
worked as an educator in the kindergarten as soon as I finished it. Though I
like children a lot, the salary was too small to continue working there. You
know it is rather difficult to live alone when you don't have any help from
anyone. That's why I decided to try and find another job. I had relations
with men in my life. But I can't depend on a man who is not my husband. When
I love I give all of myself to this person. Unfortunately, men can't always
appreciate this. I like sex but I think that when you are in relations with
someone you should be faithful and do not betray the one who lives with you.
Unfortunately, men here want to have everything, a faithful wife and another
woman as a lover. I am a very devoted and faithful person and this I can't
accept. Hope you understand me. Sex is very good but I accept it only with
the person that I love. I am not a virgin but at the same time I am not a
slut. My last relations were 2 years ago. Unfortunately, it didn't work out
as he was too busy spending good time with his friends all the time and
he almost paid no attention to me. I was just like a beautiful thing for him
and nothing more. Since that time I had no relations with other men. Well,
it is not really comfortable to talk about sex right now. You know that I
write from the internet cafe and there are lots of people around me. And
also I don't know you too good yet to discuss this topic. I have to go now.
People are coming and coming to the internet cafe and you know my time is
limited. Internet cafe is a place where everyone can come and use a computer
there. We have to pay for such a service. It is not a library where you can
use computers free of charge. When I lived in Australia I often went to the
library and could use computer there as long as I needed. But here the time
is limited as there are too many people who need to use them. Please, tell
me about your family. What relations do you have with them? Enjoy you
day!!! All the best to you.
Hello my dear! I am so glad I have you in my life and I have an opportunity
to come to the Internet cafe and talk to you... Sorry for not answering all
your questions. I don't safe your letters and can't always remember all your
questions. So please, ask me again if you are interested. I am not really in
a good spirit today. I had a very bad conflict at work. Some people here in
Russia think that if they have lots of money they can do and say everything
they want. I had a conflict with one very rich woman at work. She didn't
like the quality of the clothes. And was so rude with me. But I am just a
shop-assistant. I am not the owner and I just sell things. Sometimes I feel
that I am very tired from my life in Russia. I have nothing. I rent a very
small apartment and can't afford anything better. I get a very small salary
and prices increase here every year. But salaries are still the same. I was
shocked when I get to the store to buy some food yesterday. They increased
prices again for milk products. Milk costs about one US dollar which is too
much. For-example, my salary is 120 US dollars a month. And a half of it I
pay for the apartment. And what is left I spend for food. Very seldom I can
afford myself to buy something from clothes. I am just tired from a hard
life here. And I want to move to a foreign country. I want to get another
education, to find a good job there. That is why I am trying to get a
student visa. I haven't decided yet what University I am going to come to.
I am still searching information. I would like it to be close to you. I am
doing the paperwork now. And as they told me my visa would be ready in the
middle of May. But I don't know the exact dates. It is just the way things
are done here. As soon as I know everything, I will let you know. I want to
have a more stable life for me and my future family. And what is more
important I want have a strong man near me and to have a comfortable life
for us. So I am trying to save money any way I can for my trip and studies.
Please, forgive me for writing this to you. But I need to talk to you. It is
sometimes so hard to be just by myself. And sometimes I need a strong
shoulder and a friend to cry and to get an advice. I know that you are a
very understanding person. So, please, try to understand me. You are my
friend and I trust you. I have attached my pics again. This is in the
bathroom. Would you like to take a bath with me? I think it is rather
romantic. What do you think of this? This picture was taken with my friend
Vika in my bathroom. It was 3months ago. Vika came to visit me and I was
there in the bathroom. She likes taking pictures. So she decided to take a
picture of me. I hope that you are not shocked with my pics? Really? It
would be great to take a bath together. It is very relaxing. And I think it
is rather romantic. Please, let me know what you think of this. Write me
your thoughts and your dreams.
Miss you. wait answer. You get my last letter with my photos in Bathroom???
In the first lines of this message I want to apologise for complaining in my
previous letter. I don't really want to complain and I don't want to talk
about money any more. This was the first and the last time I did it. I was
just in a very bad spiring while writing my last letter to you. Sometimes
we have bad periods in life and we need a strong shoulder of a friend. I
hope that you let me think you are my friend. And I trust you that is why I
decided to share my thoughts with you. If you ever need to talk and if you
ever need a friend, you can always talk to me... I have been thinking a lot
about our meeting and I want to meet with you a lot. I am doing all the
paperwork now to get a student visa. And I do hope to get it. So if I get it
I will be in our country in May and I think it is really a very good
opportunity for us to meet. Please, tell me do you really want to see me?
Do you want me to visit you? Do you think that we could like each other and
be together in the future? Please, be honest with me and tell me the truth.
I know that you are being tired with this question. But you should
understand my concerns. This is a very major decision t move to the other
country. Perhaps, you wonder why I have such a big desire to move from here.
The reason is very simple. I have nobody and nothing to stay here. I will
miss my friends, but they already have their families and they live with
their own lives. I have parents but you know we are not in good relations
with them. And I think they will not miss me. I have no good job, have no
stability. I have no family. It is very hard to live in Russia and I don't
think it will ever be better. And I am really tired from this life. That's
why I have such a strong desire to get a student visa, to come there, to get
a new education, to settle down and already to have a family. I hope that
you understand me and that you support me in my decision. Please, don't be
offended if I don't always answer your questions. I do it because my time in
the internet cafe is limited. I don't always answer your questions because I
am in a rush when I answer your letters. I come here 3 times a week and
have only 15 minutes to write to you. I hope that you liked my pics. wait
your answer...
My dear friend, don't know what is going on. There is still no reply from
you. I still haven't got an answer to my main question. Do you want me to
come to you? I asked you of this in my previous letter.,I can't understand
you. You do not write me anything. Perhaps, I have offended you somehow. I
really didn't mean that. I am lost and I do not know what to think. Please,
let me know. Don't torture me. I still hopeto hear from you soon.
This letter came with a photocopy of a passport. It was the first with a
money request.
I have all the information about my visa now. And I will get it without any
problems. It will be so great to come to your country at last and to see
you. I even can't believe this could happen some day! Yes, perhaps, I act
like a silly girl. But I already dream of our meeting. I try to imagine how
this could be. How I will touch your hand, look into your eyes. So now I
have to do is to show them all the papers and to pay for it. But here I
have one problem. I tried to save money. But I didn't expect I would have to
pay for visa so soon. I thought it would be later (In May). So I don't have
enough money right now. And I need your help in this if you really want to
meet me. I need 240 US dollars to pay for visa. It will include medical
insurance and everything that should be there. Perhaps, you think why it is
so expensive. Well, sum of money includes visa, insurance, medical
certificate and many other papers. I already have got my passport for going
abroad. I have already made it and have paid for it. But I didn't think that
they would give visa so soon. And if I don't pay for it now, I could have
problems in the future with getting visa. And I don't want to miss this
chance. To prove you that I am real and I don't lie to you, I am going
to attach you a copy of my passport. So all I need to do now is to pay for
visa. And then everything will be done and all we have to do is wait for the
time it is issued. I have only 7-10 to pay for it and I will get it without
any problems. This visa allows me to stay in your country for 3 months. And
to enter any university during 3 months. I can stay for longer is I enter
the university. But if I find a job I can stay for the rest of the time in
your country if I find a job when I finish my education. But I also plan to
work there while I study. I don't want to depend on any one. I've got to
know that the best way for you to send money through Western Union or Money
gram. Please, don't send me money by regular mail. First, for sure I will
not get it as they steal money and things here. And also it will take long
time for the mail to come. And then I will miss my chance with visa already.
So, please, use WU or Money gram for sending money. It is an easy and quick
way to get it. You already know my address, I've sent it to you already. And
my full name is Vasilya Sharipova. You better check WesternUnion.com or
Moneygram.com to get more information and also offices that are close to
you. You can send money to any Western Union of Tomsk. Please, understand my
problem and send me 240 dollars. So, please, let me know if you can help me
in this.
My dear friend, i am waiting for your reply on my previous letter. Have you
got it? Tell me the truth. I want to know your thoughts. Do you really want
me to come? or no? tell me the truth, please. I do not know what to start my
letter with. I feel shame and offended. I just want to tell you that I am
completely serious. I have serious intentions to come to you and I am not
going to lie to you. I am not a silly little girl that plays games to get
money. Can't you see it from my letters? I understand that I should settle
down already and that is why I am going to move to another country. I know
that in Russia I will not be able to have a strong family and good job. I
will be unhappy. Here men don't look at women as you do it. I have decided
to move long time ago. But couldn't start doing it before I met you. I
didn't want to go to your country without love. . I asked you to send me 240
USD. And I feel shame for this. But I had no other choice then to ask you.
The problem is that I have only 7-10 days to pay for my visa. I didn't
realize I would need the money so urgently. They took my papers and told me
that I wouldn't pay in 7-10 days, they would just refuse me. And then I will
not have another chance to get visa to your country. It was a shock for me .
I thought that I could just leave the papers and then pay for it before the
trip. I think I would be able to find the money by that time. But it was
beyond my forces/ I was shocked. I went to all my friends and acquaintances.
But all refused to me. They don't give such a big sum of money. I don't ask
my parents as they just don't give me money. When the last time I asked
them to help me, they refused me. They told me they had to support my Brother and
themselves. It hurt me. That is why I do not ask them about anything any
more and I almost don't talk to them. I asked my friend Vika to help me, but
she had not such money. She is married and has a child. And recently they
have bought an apartment and took it in credit. I also went to the bank to
check there. But they even didn't listen to me. My salary is only 120 USD.
And they just can't give me 240 USD. I had tears. That is why I decided to
ask you. And I feel shame for this. I understand that it is very difficult
for you to trust the girl you have never seen before. Lots of Russian women
lied to foreigners. But I am not the same. I am real. And I am not going to
lie to you! I promise! I know that 240 USD is not such a big sum
of money in your country. And I ask you this money not as A present to me, I am going to
give them back to you. As soon as I come there and start working I will give
you money back. I told you I was going to study and to work. I will be able
to pay for my studies and for my accommodation. I already told you I was
going to get a student visa for 3 months. I will be able to come to your
country and to choose any university or college. I have 3 months to enter
it. And I can stay there as soon as I finish it. I am going to choose the
one that is close to you to be able to see you often and perhaps we could
get married. You are really a very dear person to me and I want to be with
you and if you fall in love with me, we can get married in the future. If
we are together, we will build our future together. I am not the one who
wants to get everything in at once. WE will work together and pay our
bills. I understand that family is for the rest of the life in joy and
sorrows. And I will understand if you decide not to have a family with me,
and we can just be friends. I will understand if you fal in love with
another woman. You can't order your heart who to love. I understand that you
can like me through the letters but in real life you may not fall in love
with me. I ask you one more time, please, understand me and send me 240USD.
I already told you that you have to send me money to my city. You should use
Western Union or Money Gram for this. And use my address that I have sent to
you. You should send money to Tomsk for my name. My full name - Vasilya
Sharipova. Vasilya this is my name Sharipova is my last name. You don't need
anything else to send the money. As soon as you send the money they will
give you secret number ( MTCN or Reference Number ). And you'll have to tell
me it. Or I will not be able to get the money without it. As I already told
you could get all the information and the address of the office at the site
- westernunion.com or moneygram.com. I don't know what else to say for you
to send me money as soon as possible as my time is limited. Next time they
will just refuse me in visa. I wrote you all the truth in this letter. I am
sincere and open with you. I hope that you will understand me and decide
to meet with me. Please, believe me and send me 240 USD. And please, remember
that I have only 7-10 days to pay for it.
Hello my dear!!! In my previous letter I wrote you about the birthday party
of my friend. She is 37 y.o. now. The party was rather boring. It was just
at home. I didn't have any fun. They were all with husbands and wives. And I
was lonely. That is why I decided not to stay there for long not to bother
any one. I had a very good day yesterday. I went to the cafe after work and
there was a book store near. So I went there after that and bought the book.
It is a love story. And every time I read it I think of us. We had the
big rain outside today and it took me about two hours to get back home. I
decided not to use the public transport and just walked back home with a
umbrella enjoying the rain. I still feel a little sad and lonely. And I
wish you to be here right now. You would share wine with me and we would
talk till morning. There is so much I want to tell you always and every day
I start writing I lose all my thoughts. As my only thought is always about
you. You are such a dear and close person to me. And I feel a little sad as
you are far from me. But soon, very soon, everything will be over at last
and I will see you. It is worse to wait and I am patient enough as I know
the miracle is waiting for me - meeting with you. Perhaps this letter is a
little bit sad. But I just wanted to talk to you and to share my thoughts
with you. Forgive me for being sad with you.
The only thing left is a ticket. I already know the airport I should go to.
And I even went to the cash department of the airport to check about the
ticket. They offered me the ticket on May 11. And the price is rather
reasonable. It will cost $976. Unfortunately, there is a problem. I have
only $600 and I still need $376. I really don't know what to do. I have to
pay for it soon not to be sold to someone else. So I have to ask you if you
can help me with this. Will you be able to send me $376? I told you that I
sold my fur coat to pay for visa and ticket. But the money was not enough.
I sold my fur tree for $600. I have spent $240 for all the papers with the
visa. And $60 I spent for my trip to Moscow. That is why I ask you to help
me and send me money. As soon as I buy the ticket I will immediately leave
for you. And in some days I will be in your arms already. Think on this.
Dear, I really have no one to rely on and I have only you who could help me
in this situation. You know I will give you the money back as soon as I will
be able to work in your country. So this is no going to be a problem. I will
give it back to you by all means. This is the only thing left now before we
could be together. I really hope that you will help me and we will be
together at last. I am sure you want it the same way I do. So, please,
write me your thoughts on this and when you will be able to send the money.
I can't stay here for long in Moscow and also the ticket could be sold to
another person if I don't pay for it shortly. My sweetheart, I need you and
I hope you too need me. I love you very much. And I miss you badly.
I hope this will help... John

Salut mien gentil, je suis venue tout a l'heure de l'aeroport ou voulait acheter les billets chez toi a France. Mais je n'ai pas pu acheter le billet. Aujourd'hui il y avait un tel jour remarquable, et tout etait bon, j'avais l'humeur excellent et pensait que bientot nous serons ensemble. Mais maintenant je suis triste, et je n'ai pas d'aucun humeur et je t'ecris ces mots avec les larmes. Parce que je ne connais pas que me faire maintenant, je suis perdue pour moi-meme. Je tachais revait ainsi et ainsi de celui-la pour etre avec toi cote a cote pour etre la femme heureuse avec toi.
Mais maintenant tous mes reves se dechirent, je ne peux pas t'ecrire cela en toute quietude, je tacherai d'expliquer maintenant qu'avec moi s'est passe. Quand je suis venue a l'aeroport, je regardais les bons et vols confortables pour moi pour voler chez toi, j'ai trouve le vol remarquable sur qui voulait reserver le billet, c'etait le temps pour demain 10.35 matins par temps de la Russie et le depart de l'aeroport Sheremetyevo … mais quand moi aller a la caisse, ils me parlaient quel type du visa moi j'ai, je leur ai montre les documents et mon visa. Mais ils ont repondu que ne peuvent pas me vendre les billets puisque je dois avoir un document et une certaine somme de l'argent permettant a moi voler a France. Je dois avoir 1500 euros et enregistrer cet argent sur la branche douaniere. Et cela independamment du fait est combien de j'au temps je me trouverai a France. Ils m'ont montre la Legislation russe ou etait on ecrit la loi et le volume que l'Etat se soucier des citoyens et qui a le type touristique du visa doit avoir 1500 euros ou plus que 15-17 euros pour chaque jour le sejour a France. Et a partir de celui-la que mon visa a 90 jours du sejour, je demande 1500 euros pour entrer a France. Je leur parlais que je n'ai pas tel argent et j'ai seulement la partie de cette somme, j'ai maintenant seulement 860 euros. Mais ils ont dit cela ne suffit pas et il ne m'est pas necessaire d'avoir la somme complete 1500 euros, autrement je ne peux pas me lancer eux chez toi mon gentil. Je peux acheter le billet chez toi-meme, toi, et aussi j'ai 860 euros pour la douane, mais il ne me suffit pas encore 640 euros pour qu'il y avait une somme complete. Mien gentil, je ne connais pas que me faire maintenant. Je provoquais ma mere et demandait de m'aider avec ce probleme, mais elle et m'aidait ainsi avec la presentation de mes documents et c'est pour cela qu'elle n'a pas de tel argent, aussi je tentais de demander a l'argent chez mes amis, mais ils parlaient que ne peuvent pas m'aider par une telle somme. J'ai le desespoir a cause de cela. Je suis perdue et je ne connais pas que me faire et ou aller. C'est pourquoi je n'ai pas d'autre sortie pour demander de ton aide. Ton aide mon gentil m'est necessaire maintenant. J'ai seulement un espoir de toi, je n'ai personne ici excepte toi maintenant, et c'est pour cela que je demande de ton aide. Je demande maintenant 640 euros pour que je puisse enregistrer 1500 euros sur la douane, mais je ne leur rendrai pas cet argent, puisque je dois seulement enregistrer cela. 1500 euros resteront chez moi si je vole a France chez toi et c'est pour cela que je pourrai rebrousser chemin a tu l'argent. Je connais que ma demande, tres important, mais je n'ai pas d'autre sortie de cette situation pour decider ce probleme. J'espere beaucoup sur ton aide. Ton aide m'est necessaire.
Si j'ai tout cet argent, je pourrai voler demain ou apres-demain, parce que je connais les vols maintenant. J'attendrai ta reponse avec grand l'impatience. Beaucoup tendre, mais les baisers tristes pour toi et tout mon amour de toi.

Hi my nice, I've come a time while the airport or wanted to buy tickets at you in France. But I could not buy the ticket. Today there was such a remarkable day, and everything was good, I had excellent mood and thought that soon we will be together. But now I'm sad, and I do not have any mood and I write these words with tears. Because I do not know that I do now, I am lost for myself. I dreamed together and so that it to be with you side by side for the woman be happy with you.
But now all my dreams are torn apart, I can not write it in quietly, I try to explain now with me happened. When I came to the airport, I looked good and comfortable flights for me to steal from you, I find remarkable about the flight who wanted to book the ticket, it was time for tomorrow morning by 10.35 times the Russia and depart the airport Sheremetyevo… but when I go to cash, they spoke to me what kind of visa I have, I have the documents and my visa. But they answered that I can not sell tickets because I do have a document and a certain sum of money enabling me to fly a France. I must have 1500 euros and save money on this branch customs. And regardless of the fact is how j'au time I find a France. They showed me the Legislation was Russian or write the law and the amount that the state regardless of citizens and who has the type of tourist visa must have 1500 euros or more than 15-17 euros for each day stay in France. And from the one that my visa has 90 days of stay, I call 1500 euros to enter a France. I was talking that I do not have such money and I only part of this sum, I now have only 860 euros. But they said that was not enough and I am not necessary to have the complete sum 1500 euros, otherwise I can not launch them with you my nice. I can buy the ticket at yourself, you've got and 860 euros for customs, but not enough yet for 640 euros that there was a complete sum. Mien nice, I do not know that I do now. I provoquais my mother and asked for help with this problem, but it helped me and so with the presentation of my documents and that is why it has no such money, so I tried to ask money from my friends, but they spoke that can not help me with such a sum. I despair because of that. I am lost and I do not know that me and or go. That is why I have no other exit to ask for your help. Your help my nice I need now. I only hope you, I have no one here except you now, and that is why I ask for your help. I ask now 640 euros so I can save 1500 euros on duty, but I do not visit this money, since I have only save it. Euro 1500 will remain at me if I fly a France at you and that is why I could turn back a tu money. I know that my request, very important, but I have no other exit from this situation to decide this problem. I hope very much on your help. I need your help.
If I have all this money, I will be able to fly tomorrow or after tomorrow, because I know the flights now. I will wait your answer with great impatience. Many tender, but kissing sad for you and my love for you.
Yours Venera.

Am I ever glad I found your site.
I was so close to being sucked into a scam. I am a 42 year old man in Ohio, USA. I recently received out of the blue an email from someone that said she saw my profile on a dating site and just had to make contact with me because she found me so interesting. Well I replied and she seemed very convincing. Now I might have been born at night but not last night. So I have spent the last few days digging on the Internet about scams and Russian women that scam. I found your site and to my surprise there she was about 7 times all different names. I even got to see differant photos that she hadn't sent me yet...lol.
Luckily your site saved me money and time. I think you are wonderful.
So here is some of the letters and photos. Her name to me was Yuliya Kowaleva
She was also just listed by another gentleman, page 555 Yuliya Kirjanova on March 14,2008.
Thank you so much for your site,
Kenny

This is all within 11 days of first email.
Beware of this one guys.
First Letter
Hi! I'm so happy to receive your reply! It was good to meet you on
dating site! You made my day! Why I chose you? I found you at the
site by chance. Telling from the beginning of the story I know a
woman who is on a dating site. That profile wasn't mine, it was a profile of that woman, but she let me find someone from the dating
site from her profile. I don't know how to use the site, so I found
you by chance and wrote you. 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 7pm
ill 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 open and ready 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've never been abroad, only
in the South of Russia, the Black Sea, Sochi (where will be Olympic Games).
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 not so bad, but still it is 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. 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
two pics, I hope you will like them. I will send more next time.
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 ater 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 late 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 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 don't want me as your woman, we can be just friends!
But I hope you'll 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 Ekaterinburg. OK, I will finish this email... I don't know what else
I could write you in my first email. Please reply to 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 can match each other!
Tell me about yourself and the place where you live! And send me
photos! Sorry for being too talkative!!! Please write me back here,
I write you from my private email address now.
Yuliya
Second Letter
Hello Kenny!!! Thanks 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! This time I will write you more about myself. I've never been
married, don't have kids but I love them and they love me! I don't smoke, drink occasionally. And I want
to tell you that I always wanted to find an older man. 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.I think you should
know more about my life and my hobbies so you will know if we have any common interests.
I'm 28 years old, not that young I suppose? My birthday is on 26 of April. I'm 166 cm tall (5.5.)
and 51 kg weight (about 120 pounds, I'm not sure how much it is in pound but I'm not fat which you
can see from my photos!). 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 a swimming
pool. I have an older sister, you can see her with me on photos. She is 32 years old now.
She recently divorced and she had 4 years old daughter. Her husband cheated on her.
We live with our parents in 3 room apartment. The name of my city is Vinzili,
it's near Tyumen city. Vinzili is quite small city unlike Tyumen which is a large city, the main city in our
district. I graduated from Tyumen Humanitarian University few years ago, the 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 certificateof fitness instructor, this is my another hobby.
So it would be perfect if later I can find a work as a fitness 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'snot possible to arrange
such work by Internet because they want to see the level of my dancing.
Anyway I will try to find this kind of work when I come over there. Or maybe not a dancer but aerobic( fitness) 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?
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.
In winter I like skiing, although we have cold winters... Our summers are warm usually. 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 tought me to play piano. I finished music school and I still play piano
about once a week. My father is retired engineer. I cannot say I enjoy one particular type of music. It
might sound strange for you but I can listen to almost everything. The list is endless actually. But
anyway, there are a couple of things I have always enjoyed to listen to. They are Enigma and Deep
Forest. I adore their music. It is so sensual and helps relax a lot. I also like classic music, jazz, rock,
lounge. I want to try how to ride a motorcycle someday! I've never tried it!
By the way, do you have an International Airport in your city? Please write me the name and the code of it.
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.
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, Vinzili, Lermontova 42 street, flat 2.
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 for 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 )))
Kisses to you and have a good day!!!!
Yuliya
Third Letter
Hello Kenny,
I am glad to get a reply from you and I think I am a lucky one because I met such
a wonderful man like you in the Internet! And I also hope I will be lucky to meet
you in real life soon!!!!!! You know yesterday I told my parents about you.
Now I guess they don't worry about my trip so much, at least I hope so.
I was tyring to calm them down because I don't want them to be nervous
about me and though I am almost 29 years old, I am still a little girl for my
parents and I will always be. Now they know that you are a kind man
and help me if I need your help. You can show me your city and surroundings
and tell me about the culture of your country and about the life over there.
I don't remember if I told you that I love cooking. I will cook some tasty Russian
food for you and you'll tell me what you think. Most famous food in Russia are Pelmeni, vareniki, blini, borsch, okroshka!
I bet you will like it!!! I also like Italian and sea food. I love lasagna and pizza!!!!!!! Yummy! I am the best in cooking lasagna,
this is what my friends and family say. I also love Mexican food because it is spicy,
though I don't cook Mexican food too often. I like cooking cakes and try something new!
My favourite is cheese cake with raspberry!!! Hm, you know when I talk about food I am getting hungry:).
I eat everything and I am not on any kind of diets, I just don't eat after 7pm.
It also helps me to be in a good shape. I can cook many tasty things for you when we meet!
Ok, enough about food! You know ...almost all Russian men are like bears, they are very rude and dishonest.
They can't be nice and polite. They can't be jentlemen! They don't want to work and they don't want to have families since it is a big
responsibility to have a family. Judging by your letters you are absolutely not like
them and I happy to know that!!! 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 was watching "Pirates of Carribean" (part 3) I really like such kind
of movies!!! If you didn't see this movie yet, I would advice you to watch it!!!
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 Tyumen, 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, take my bags and go to Tyumen! 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 Tyumen 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, due to
statistics Moscow is the second most expensive city in the world after Tokyo.
I will rent a room in apartment, it will be cheaper then renting a room
in a hotel. Of course it will be very modest but it's OK for me!
When I come to Moscow and settle down I will write you an email. I will write you as soon as I can!!!
In Moscow I will spend a week or maybe even more, I should make all
final arrangements with my documents and after that 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 his
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!!!!!!!!
Many kisses to you!
I hope I'm the one for you!
From nervous and excited Yuliya
Fourth Letter
Well, hello my dear Kenny!!! 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 really a 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
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 correctly.
Please confirm me your full name. 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. My last name is Kowaleva. So you already know my full name.
I've been told I may have all further information about my trip tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. As soon as I learn it I
will write you an email!!! I don't have enough time now to write more things.
With great excitement and many kisses from Moscow,
Your Yuliya Kowaleva

I will come to see you! I can't say I'm too much nervous. I know you are waiting for
me and I hope you will tell me everything about your country and
show me some nice places over there. I will travel eco class, I hope my flight will be OK.
I will be able to stay over there during three months and then I can prolong my visa or change my status.
I will have a work visa and I hope everything will works out! I want to meet you and talk to you and get to know you better.
I feel we will like each other, at least I hope so. If you decide you know me not well enough and want to be only
friends with me I shall rent a room. But I hope you will like me!!!!!!!!!! I have a good feeling about it!
As I wrote you I will come later this week and I will stay here for several days. So now I have to make final arrangements with my documents.
I told you I passed all tests, I have all documents I need to get a job and everything. Please try to help me to finish
my arrangements.And I need to pay for this flight. People from embassy must be sure that I am
not going to stay illegally, so I need to buy roundtrip tickets (with returning date).
I wanted to ask you about electronic tickets but they tell that I can't use because it is their businees to arrange all travel
details and they have some extra money from all the things, you see it is just business.I think that you
will be able to help me because I don't know anybody here and only you are my hope now,
I think everything in your hands and I believe that you will not leave
me here alone.please borrow some money. I am sure I will be able to return all your money
back after a few weeks, I will get salary and I will collect the sum I own from you.
To be fair I am not sure I know what to say because I hate to ask but now I have
no different way, you see. Please help me it is only money and much more important if we will meet in
person I will do my best, you won`t be disappoined. I see that it sounds a little crazy
but I can't believe that in the worst case I have to return home,they all will laugh at me.I think it rests with you to decide
and I feel that you will help me because you are kind. I have about 400 US dollars yet and I think
I need about 900 US dollars from your side with all travel needs and living here till my
flight! (I had 1200 dollars, but flight from Tyumen, opening visa, medical
insurance and all travel needs costed about 800 dollars). For truth I didn`t expect I will need to buy roundtrip tickets, but now
I see that its a very strict rule.
Please send it today by Western Union or Money Gram I will write you details:
------------------------------------------------------------
Send it to
Russia, Moscow, Yuliya Kowaleva!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------
This is my full name used in all official documents. They said this is all info you need.
But please for any case write down more info. The address where I'm staying in Moscow is
Moscow, Pravdy 50. I rent a small room In an apartment of an old lady here, it's
cheaper then hotel.The address of the closest Western Union (or MoneyGram) here is:
OPM-BANK
PRAVDY 23,
Moscow, 125057

Please send me 900 US dollars and I will complete my trip!
After it please write me all details about the transfer -
your FULL NAME and Money Transfer Control Number!!

documents. I've bought you few souvenirs with Russian attributes!!! I'm
sure you will like them! If you need something more please let me know, they are not expensive. Also I bought two boxes of Russian
chocolate! I hope so much when I come to you we will like each other! You are already very special to
me! Please when I come to you tell me more about you and your country!

Sixth Letter
*After I started questioning her about specific things to do with coming to America. And said I could not send 900 dollars to her.
Hello dear Kenny,
All these preparations for the my trip gave me a great hope for happy future.
My emotions were fulifilling me and I was under impression. When I thought about going to earn some money, I was going to do
that to make life better,to see other country and improve my English. I just wanted to change my life and
a a life of my family better. Is this a crime? No.I thought that it would be great if I am not alone there
because you know it is kinda dangerous to go to other coutry alone. So, I decided to find a friend or
someone who can at least talk to me. It was you and I know that I wasn't mistaken when I wrote you.
I liked you and somehow you managed to get deep into my heart. I understand that thouhg it doesn't
make me feel comfortable. I do want to come to earn money, I do want to come to you.
I don't ask you just to give me this money. I ask you about a loan. If only I could, I would never ask you for help. I am
sorry about all the problems with the money! But without your help I will not be able to fly to you.
My relatives will no longer be able to help me out. Father gave me almost all the
money that he had to help me out with this journey.If you can not help me,
I will be returning to home. But I do not want to be lonely again.I do not want
to return home. I do not want to stay in Moscow either. More than anything else, I
would like to continue the trip! Just give me a chance to change my life!
Yours Yuliya
Seventh Letter
Hello dear Kenny!
he address where I'm staying in Moscow is Moscow, Pravdy 50, flat 24. I rent a room in
a three-room appartment, I don't live in a hotel because it is very expensive. You have to understand
that not all people in Russia has home phones. You cannot call me because there is no phone there.
I cannot send you the copy my visa because I simply don't have it in hands. I will go to the
Embassy and will be interviewed to get my visa issued and only after that I will be able to send it to you.
BUT, I cannot go to the interview at the mbassy without tickets. This is a law!!!!
I am sorry about all the problems with the money! But without your help I will not be able to fly to you.
My relatives will no longer be able to help me! I do not want to return home. I would like to continue the trip!
I want you! I want you to surround me with your tenderness, warmth and care.
I certainly think about the future. I want us to be together. I go to sleep and I wake up together with the thoughts about you.
They are not leaving my head. More to that, I’d like to wake up in your arms every day.
I’d like to be sure that you really need me now and in the future. I just want to look into your eyes.
I want to feel your warm breath. I want to see your smile and know that this smile is for me.
I want to be waken up by you rather than some kind of alarm clock. I want to be your sunshine.
I want you to warm your hands up in the back pockets of my jeans. I want
you to pay me with your kisses for the rental of my jeans pockets. I want to belong to you and. I am
yours and you’re mine. I want to believe you and never question anything you say.
I want to hear your voice. I want to get to your inner thoughts. I want to be everything you need. I want you to know all these
things. Can’t wait for the moment I board the plane and start my final journey to you.
I am looking forward to hearing some good news from you. Hope you can help me out and give me your support.
Your Yuliya

Subject: hi
Hello Richard!
Firstly I will say that I'm glad to meet you and to start this unusual relationship with you via Net. I hope
it will lead us to something genuine and real if we are honest with each other. I understand
that typing sometimes could be boring since it's very difficult to
xpress yourself by keyboard. But maybe Internet will be our way that
unite people from different corners of the world. OK, a little bit
about myself. M name is Zoya. I am 22. I live in Ukraine , the town
called Ternopol. It is in the west of my country. I am 167 in tall.
As for me there is no prevention for love. The age it is just a number for the people. It
doesn't matter how old you are, what country you live in, what culture you have, what weight and height
you are, what race you are. I have heard a lot of stories how people meet each
other on net and then marry and live happily. Isn't it nice and touching?!
Well, what we need for early time is to know about each other as
much as possible. I'm looking for that very man who is just for myself, who will
carry about me, protect me, love me and of course receive all this in return. I want to be really close to
someone, to share with him all my feelings,desires and dreams. I'm young and my
life is interesting, full of fun and adventure but I miss some
love, romance and tenderness from man. My life will be complete
when I meet my soulmate,my second half, my hope, my support and
my joy. I work in a pediatric department in the hospital as a medical nurse with
children. I know English well as I got some coursed in the medical
college . I write on my own without using any help. I adore sport, writing poetry,
reading books, playing in the theatre, cooking, knitting, traveling, spending time with my friends. My life
seems to be a full bowl, all I need is to find my second half with whom I can enjoy
life and make a strong family where there will be love and mutual understanding at
the top of the list. It is time to finish for now as I need to come
back to work. Write to me as soon as you can. It will be really exciting to
see your letter. I am interested in you. Wish you to have a wonderful day with a lot of smiles!
Kindest regards, Zoya
p.s.My heart has always been beating with joy when I see your photo. I can't take my
eyes off you... You please me so much...

My lovely Richard!
How much I wish to be there with you!!!!!! I am sure it would be funny for us....
it is so excited to read your letter and feel that our meeting is
coming closer to us...I don't know how to tell you because i feel
awkward about it but there is one little problem before our future happy life. International passport,
getting visa and tickets for flight need money. I have no enough money just now. And it is
probably to collect all sum right now. Can you help me , please. I think if we
want to be together then we should help each other. Agree???? Dear, you know
today at work i had free time and i was just listening to the music
and thinking about you....We heard a nice tune and you invited me to
the dance, you danced with such a grace that I could not keep my
admiration, after that you took me home and near the door you told me
that you fell in love with me and would like to be with me all your
life. You know, the most interesting thing is that I felt everything so vividly hat it seem to me like a reality! It was so
pleasant for me to hear that you love me and see your smile at my
face..... hmmmm by the way will you like to dance with me????? Will
you hold me closer to you that i will be able hear your breathing and
the beating of your heart?????? ................ Ok, my love, It is time to go to work and make all around there....
I love you,
Your Zoya
