Hello !!! This is me again!
I think I should write you more things about me, I hope it will be interesting for you to know me better! My birthday is 18 of October 1983.
I am Libra. I'm 167 cm tall (5.6) and 51 kg weight. 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 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 with 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. I've never been married, don't have kids but I love
them and they love me! I don't smoke, drink occasionally. My favorite color is blue. As for my family - I live with my mother and my
brother. My mother is 48 years old, her name is Valentina, I love her very much. I have a sister, her name is Zoya, she is already
married and she lives with her husband. I also have a younger brother, his name is Maksim. He is very clever and he wants to be a
naval officer like our father. My father was a great person, he was courageous and brave. He is an ideal man for me. My father died
in auto crash 7 months ago. . My mum cried but now she is ok, she will never meet another man because my father was the only man in
her life and now her aim in life is to grow up our brother. It was my mother's idea to try to work to another country. She loves me
very much and she thinks that its impossible to earn good money in Russia. My mother read many stories about girls who found their
happiness abroad and now she wants me to do the same. As I wrote you I live in Russia, the name of my town is Achinsk it is situated
in Krasnoyarskaya Obl. (District). It will be great if you also tell me some interesting facts about your city. I don’t remember
if I told you or not but I graduated from Krasnoyarsk University two years ago, Economy faculty but I don't work on my specialization
because I can't find a good job here in economy sphere, my city is so small. I don’t use any translators and I can speak and write
English well. I write my emails from Internet cafe, we have a computer but no Internet. If you want I can call you when we get to know
each other better it would be nice to talk to you. Today I'm going to tell my mother about you, I'm sure she will be happy I've met
someone over there who can show me around! I hope you are not getting bored to read my emails? It's a pity there is no messenger here,
so we can talk only using e-mails. . My address here is Russia, Achinsk, Mazulskaya street 29, flat 53. So now you have a representation
of who I am. . I just can tell you I enjoy life and I try to live to the fullest, I like to try new things. 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 soul mate! Do you look for any special qualities?

Bye!

Maria

P.S. Forgot to say I'm sending a pic with my sister, my father and me (2 years ago).

Hello dear ! I think I'm a lucky girl to meet such good man as you in Internet!
I hope I will be lucky enough to meet you in the real life soon! Yesterday
I told my mom about you. She said that now she doesn’t worry about me as
before because now she knows you are a kind man and can help me if I need
your help. You can show me your city and tell me more about the life over there!
I think I didn't write you I like cooking. I can cook some Russian dishes 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 live
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 don't like 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! Sometimes I like to listen to music. I like almost all kind of Music
and my favorite one is pop music and classical. 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 percents of movies in our cinemas are Russian and about 50 American.
Actually my favorite actor is Johnny Depp and I like all movies with him. I've watched Pirates
of the Caribbean (part 3) some time ago! I think the third part is not as good as the first part.
Have you seen it? Could you recommend me any movie so I can watch it? What is your favorite movie
and actor? Soooooooooooooooo. . . . . what else could I say? Sometimes I go to the theatre but
not often. There is only one small theatre in my city and there is nothing interesting.
If I want to watch a good play I should go to the nearest big city, there sometimes can
come some famous Russian actors and dancers but I can't go there often because it's quite expensive.
I want you to know small things about my life, because it will show you who I am.
Ok, I think I will finish my e-mail for today and I should go home to cook some food for my mom and brother!

PS I'm sending more pics this time! They were taken in Sochi one year ago.

Hello , I’m so disappointed, I don’t know what to do. I asked for help all my friends and family but their answer was "no".
I thought that I will never ask you for such help, but I don’t have another way. .I do hope to get your letter with words that you will
help me because if not I have to cancel all travel preparations and collect things to go home. I can't imagine I am at home again,
without any result with canceled documents. I want to be with you so much. .Please take me from here, I will work hard to earn
money and I am sure I will be able to return all your money and return your kindness. My poor english is problem to express all
my feelings I only hope that you can read between words and I very much hope that we will meet each other. I’m not a gangster
or a mafia, I’m a usual girl which just wants to be happy. I don’t know what to do. if it was possible to send me tickets I would
have asked you to do that. I checked all ways and that's not possible. I applied for a work visa because it's easier to receive
this type of visa then for example tourist visa. You country has quite strict rules on receiving visas. Many people all over the world
consider your country to be the best place in the world and many people want to go there, that's why the rules are so strict. I should
pay for my tickets by myself and bring a check from the travel agency to the embassy to prove them I'm financially stable to make
this trip and pay by myself. If you buy tickets for me and the embassy will learn about it they will ask me many different questions
as who is that man? Why do you want to meet him? And if they learn that I want to meet you and have a relationship with you they
could not give me my work visa. I know its difficult to believe a person who is so far away. .But I feel that its something special between
us, I’m sure I’m the only girl who can make you happy and I can be happy only with you. My heart is in your arms. .We just need to
make the last step to each other. . Today I had a dream at night. I dreamed about our meeting! Oh it was so realistic! We laugh and
we both were happy. I never had such dreams before I want it to happen in real life soon. .I was so disappointed when I woke up in
the morning and understood that it was just a dream. But I hope it will happen in real life. I need 950 usd to buy tickets and my only
wish is to be with you. I can’t delay my flight and my mum will send us money in two months and I will return it back to you!!
I'm sending you a copy of my passport in case you need it. I have my pics on documents!!!!!! I look so surly there. . and ugly. .
I like to smile! It's a pity it's forbidden to smile on photos for documents. I hope you can trust me more now, I swear I'm not
going to do anything to hurt your feelings, I'm an honest girl! You are my only hope and my only wish is to be with you!
Your Maria

Hello dear , I was in the travel agency and they postponed my flight on next Friday, July 22, the
same flight and the same time of my arriving!I was trying to find some money and I had some luck. I swear
I called everybody I know and I was able to find some money but not all. I'm still desperately want to see you!
My mother sent me some money and I sold my golden things!!! I need about 550 dollars now. . I swear I called
everybody but I can't find more money! You came into my life not too long ago and I didn't think anything of it.
At first I thought we will be friends only, I didn't believe in having special feelings to someone I have never seen.
I never imagined I'd be falling so hard for you. We became very close but yet we were so distant. The more I got
to know you, the more I wanted to be with you. Your letters always made me smile even without writing something
funny and without you I'd be very different. I smiled because I was happy to receive your emails. You have changed
me in so many ways. You make me want to wake up in the morning to see what life is going to throw at me
each and every day. Your emails mean so much to me. I can't help but think about you all of the time. Every
morning I wake up, during the day, and before I go to sleep you're always on my mind and even in my dreams
I see you. I don't know how it happened… it's so strange for me. . I am sitting here in internet cafe and writing
this letter hoping you will get to read it soon. . I'm listening French love songs on my CD-player and it makes me
feel more sad I can't be with you now. . The songs really sound so nice to me but I don't know what they mean.
It's like my feelings to you. . I feel so nice when I think about you but it's so strange because I've never
met you. .I have built my world around my dreams of being us together and I really like this world. .
I always want to stay in that world and never want to come back to reality and I hope that you feel
the same way too. I'm not sure. . I really want to come to you but you know I have never
traveled so far away and I was not smart enough to set up all things for my trip. I still feel I need you
in my life so much. When I was a little kid I believed in Santa Claus (in Russian it's called Ded Moroz -
to translate by words it's called Old Man Frost))) I was waiting every Christmas for presents. And when we
were going to meet each other I felt myself like a kid waiting for Santa Claus. . I was waiting for you. .
I remember when I was 9 years old I understood there is no Santa Claus and all presents are brought by my
mom I was so disappointed and I began not to believe in fairy tales. .And now when I think I may never meet you
again I feel my worst disappointment and I don't want this fairy tale to be over….I'm still hoping like a kid this
may happen. .I understand I have to finish this email, but in my heart I don't want to do that. I wish that time
became frozen this minute before I say my words of good-bye. .I want to enjoy every single moment with you,
to talk about all of the things we like and dislike. . . If I had my own computer I would write you 10 times a day. .
Please let me know if I have chances to get your financial help or not. I need to know this as soon
as possible. If nothing works out with my trip, then I will be here in Yekaterinburg for a few more days because
I need to try and return some money from the agency and then I will go back to my home town. .
Please don't let me down. .
Your Maria
