I`m very glad to see your posting, and I`m confused a little bit that you didn`t send me your pics on this site. If you have any pics please would send me them. I will wait.

I am very interesting in our difference at the time. Do you know the difference at the time? I think that the difference in time is very large. I am glad that I`m interesting for you and that you respond on my letter. I`m glad that we can learn one another better. I have many questions for you, but I`ll not ask all at once because you can haven`t enough time to answer them. And if you want to ask me anything please ask me you questions, I will try to answer them.

I would love tell you more about myself. I was born in December 11, 1981. I am 170 centimeters or 5`7 feets. My weight 55 kgs (121 lbs). I was born in a small town and I live in here my whole life. And in this life I didn`t see many thing, but I learned about this world by the books, news and another things, I live as any people in this and have simple life. I never have a traveling from Russia, but I dreamed about it all times. But I was travel in city Anapa, do you know where it? It`s located near Black sea. The south part of Russia. There it was very good. I love water, lakes and the rivers. I`m very romantic woman. I seldom have bad mood and with optimism concern to the life. I love when around of me cleanliness and a cosines. I very much inquisitive, in life I wish to see and try
everything, in fact the life is given only once. Except for music my passion is the cookery. I am delivers great pleasure to do various dishes. I like to communicate with interesting people. In men I appreciate such qualities as honesty and fidelity to the beloved. Fleeting novels it not for me. I am ready to give completely myself only to that person whom I will really love.

I would like to get acquainted with you more close, and to learn about yourself more, I think that there are many other different ways of dialogue, For example, as phone, we could hear a voice of each of us and enjoy dialogue by phone. But unfortunately I have no phone, and I can not give you my phone number. But maybe you can give me your phone number, I can try call you.

Earlier I had a telephone, even two phones, but now I have no any of them. Russia very strange country, and very terrible, here much bad people, at me have stolen these two phones, When I went in the bus for work in the morning. To me was so it is a pity that such happens, but then I have solved that it is not necessary to buy phones. And since then I have not phone.

And I sent you my another pic, I hope did you receive it?

I have no the own computer even, and I should visit the Internet of cafe to write to you. And I can visit the Internet of cafe only once per day, maybe more if I would have free time. I am at work all time, Also I can answer to you only with evening or in midday, during a lunch break

I want to ask you. Tell me please, you dream to see what woman every day near yourselves?

For the sake of what woman you are capable to make everything, that to take hold of her heart and always to be together with her? Excuse me, probably to me still early to discuss with you such frank things. But it is very interesting to me to know, what girls draw your attention.

I short written to you my prospects on my future. If for you it interestingly then we can discuss these themes in more detail.

I will wait your e-mail.

Yours faithfully.

I never travel out of South African and I made a mistake when filling in my profile,it is my first time in dating sites.You sound like a very nice person with great values. I think by now you must have known a lot about me through my profile but let me tell you a little about myself again My full name is Tana Luca Jones, living in Cape Town South Africa.

I am the only child of my family. I am a nurse and I have one child, She is 21 years old. I haven't been in a serious relationship for over 6 years because I want a relationship that will last and is built on more than just physical attraction. I like someone who enjoys hugs, kisses and holding hands I never think a person can ever be too romantic in life as long as you're with the right person. I have been divorced since the year 2001. I like to work out at the gym or go for a jog,enjoy dancing,swimming travel,Cooking,Shopping Malls,Taking Long Walks,Listening to Music,People Watching,Intimate Conversations,Dining Out. I also love a variety of good food,healthy food and sitting back and relaxing in a pictures que setting with a drink or two,and of course if I had the company of an nice man like you,there's not really much more one could ask for,that would do me nicely! I am romantic, Maybe a bit too much. I am not a person that likes pushy people around me, and I usually try to find a way out of the situation graciously. I am not a violent person, in fact I'm am a very laid back individual with lots of patience towards my fellow being. I like to be funny, love to laugh. I hate violence, especially towards a weaker person. I respect my fellow beings and their opinions. I hate dishonesty. I almost always smile (even in the morning ).

It takes a lot to get me in a bad mood. I am considered to be quite funny and entertaining.I am very emotional,I am spontaneous I sometimes do not think of the consequences of my actions and find other cultures fascinating! One thing i do not like much is people that say one thing and then not do it without a call or apology when the cancel out. I find it to be a total lack of respect for the other person. I wake up happy and content with my life, and try to keep smiling all day. It's good for the soul I don't believe things just happen by chance, God has a purpose and plan for our lives,that is what I can think of in a short time.

I hope that gives a better impression about the person who I am.

Best regards

It would be great if you can meet me in the Airport and wait for me there. I will be very thankful to you if you can do it. If something happens and we will not be able to find each other I can call your phone number or you can make a paper with my name and hold it! If you will be late because of your work or something else I can wait for you at the Airport... I will be tired after such big flight (I will be on the plane many hours! I'm not sure how much, I will find out) and have some rest.

So I booked tickets and I can pass my interview only when I pay for my tickets, I didn't know about it. I can receive my visa after I pay my tickets so they want to be sure I have roundtrip tickets so I'm not going to stay illegally over there. I think there rules are too strict...

I have some money but my flight from Irkutsk to Moscow costed so much (about 550$) because it's so far from Moscow. Of course it is my fault because parents told me that I have to travel by train but I wanted to do everything faster so I took a plane...

Anyway now it's too late to sorry.

Another bad thing yet that prices of service of aerflot (tickets) became more expensive because of high gasoline price.
I didn't guess that everything costs so much and they didn't say anything. They say they arranged my trip, visa and all necessary documents and money is only my business. I have to buy tickets till my interview because of such rule.

Maybe you could borrow me some money?

I can't live here too long because every day I have to spend some money for food and rent of room. Really expensive city. The cup of the tea costs about almost two dollars. I think it is not too great amount I ask and I am sure I will be able to return it back in a few weeks after I arrive. I will earn some money and from the first salary I return it back to you. in Agency they have told me that you may send it by Western Union. It is pretty easy to use they said. I have been to the bank and they gave me the information.

All you need is my name, my surname and address to send me the money. Once you do this, I'll be able to pick up the money at any local Western Union office
in Moscow. We need to do it pretty fast, because we have no time till my interview, if everything is all right I will be on this plane! You will send me a transfer info and MTCN ( money transfer control number)

I will get cash. Kiss you many times, I am tired today,you know it is hard enough to be in a city where you don't have any friends or relatives. So many different emotions.

Kiss you many times! see you soon!

Ah, silly me. Almost forgot to give you my full name and my address.

My address here (where I rent a room)
Country : Russia,
City : Moscow,
Address : Novgorodskaya 23-12.
post code : 117283
Full name: Elene Karazhaevo

I have about 300 US dollars. Please try to send about 1000 US dollars so I will be sure I have enough money for all my travel needs and flight. I know you will try to help me!

I can't wait to hug you when we meet! If you can't meet me at the Airport we can meet somewhere in the city, but I don't know how much the taxi cost over there. I'm glad I have a job lined up and when we meet each other maybe you will even want to have closer relationship with me and maybe we can even live together someday! If you want! It's just my dreams... But if you don't want to live with me I will live with other girls who came to work too.

see you soon!!! You are a great man and I hope you will not live me alone in Moscow and help me!
