This Letter (one from the bottom) realy made me nervouse! Every thing seemed too convinent. I felt like I was being set up! After reading this letter I wrote to her and told her that at this time I would not be able to help her out financialy.

Hi Bjarne !
To begin with, please, do not be confused with the different e-mail address. The thing is, I tried to send you my letter from mail.ru. But it wouldn't let me attach my pictures. It's a free-of-charge box, so I was told problems might occur with it every once in a while. And here we go. I just went ahead and created a different mailbox. So from now on just write me to this new address, that way I hope there will be no further complications with sending you my pictures and with receiving yours. Thank you for your letter and for the compliments. I was glad to find out more about you. I?m sorry about the delay with my answer. But it?s been a really hectic time here at my work. And what are your pets? names? How are they getting along with each other? As for your sense of humor, Bjarne , I like it a lot. I had to have two cups of coffee, before I read your letter till the end. : -) It?s nice to know you like your job. I think it?s very important to feel oneself comfortable at work, where one spends the bigger part of the day. You know, once I?ve read somewhere that ?happiness is when you want to go to work in the morning and return back home in the evening?. That is very true, I think. I?m happy to go to work every day, although I?m not really ecstatic to return home to my empty apartment. Yes, Bjarne , I admit I?m an absolutely happy person. But I believe that I will find the one meant for me by fate, and the sun will shine into my window, and into my life. Well, I got a little carried away. Could you, please, tell me more about your work? I mean, what are your responsibilities? What?s your typical day at work like? Well, Bjarne , I?m closing up for now and will be looking forward to your reply. Take care and have a great day. Sincerely, Ann.

Thank you for your letter. I was glad to get it. Your sincerity attracted me from the first moment I saw your profile on Kiss.com. You just frankly said that you do not want to have any more children. I cannot say that I wouldn t like to have children, but I just cannot have children. That is a sad truth. But I can give my unspent maternal feelings to my little patients. So that s ok. Well, Bjarne , let me tell you a bit about myself. I live in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. I grew up in a loving, happy, united family. My Mom is a dentist and my Dad served the military for a long time, though now he is retired. They met when Mom was a medical student, and have never parted since then. My Dad is 14 years older than Mom and their marriage is the happiest of all I have seen so far, they ve managed to carry mutual respect and care towards each other through years, to bring up 3 kids. I have two older twin sisters, Marina and Irina, they are 29 years old. Although they are extremely alike appearance wise, they are total opposites in their personalities. Marina and her husband, who s also in the military, live in Russia. Irina is also married, to an engineer, and lives in Kharkov. God blessed them with two wonderful kids, whom I adore. We all are very close and always happy to see each other. I was born and grew up in a small rural town, where my Dad s unit was stationed. We all lived there until I turned ten. Then we moved to Dnepropetrovsk, which is the third largest city in Ukraine. Here my sisters and I went to a specialized school, that is with several major directions of study. Ira and Marina majored in chemistry and biology, while I - in English. It s funny how life turns out sometimes. Marina is now a geologist, Ira teaches biology. As for me, my love for children and desire to help people were the reason of my entering the Medical Academy and becoming a pediatrician. And I have never had any regrets about my choice. After all, one can always realize oneself and achieve much doing work one enjoys. I did well as a medical student, so right after I graduated from the Academy I was offered a job at a private clinic, where I ve been working for three years. Having retired a couple of years ago, my parents moved to Odessa, to be closer to my grandparents on my mother s side. When my parents decided to move, they sold the house where we lived. I could ve moved to Odessa with my parents, but I chose to stay here, because I was about to graduate from the Academy and then found a good job. Besides, by that time I was involved in a serious relationship and was going to get married to a guy I studied with. But it didn t work out; we never married. For quite a while I completely plunged into my work and was interested in nothing but my little patients. And then it was like awakening from sleep, I realized that something was missing. After hours, days, months of thinking I realized that I had to start changing my life, myself, if you will. So I signed up for Interior Design Course and obtained an internationally recognized certificate of Interior Designer. Then I went through Massage and Herb Therapy Course and have a certificate from there as well. But even all that doesn t help to fill the aching emptiness in my heart, which is there every time I return to my empty apartment. I have learned much, attended tons of classes and seminars, but nowhere do they teach how to find that one and only, meant by fate. But I guess, to win the lottery one should at least get the ticket. Well, Bjarne , my letter s turning into a book, and before I start another volume : -), I d better wrap up. If you haven t fallen asleep reading my saga and it hasn t scared you off : -), I ll be looking forward to your reply. Tell me, please, more about yourself, your life, family, work, hobbies and interests. Till then, take care and have a great day. Sincerely, Ann. P.S.: I am attaching two my pictures with this letter. Hope you will like them

Hi my dear Bjarne !
I am sorry for delay with replay. When I came to internet caf? yesterday I figured out that it was a day for city tournament on quake (computer game) and all computers were busy. I tried 4 internet cafes and there also were not free computers. Such an unexpected obstacle. Bjarne , for my vacations, this year it can be only in December, and next vacation is gong to be only next year. Somewhere in November or December. I do not know honey, if we should wait till next year to meet in person (as this year you are very busy with work and probably would not like my coming). I understand everything, do not worry. I just want to tell, Bjarne , that as for me I do not much care about seeing wonderful places of Arizona, I just want to see you and dream about only one: to see your eyes, to talk to you in person, holding your hand, just to be near at least for a while. But if you think it will be problematic this December, do not worry, I agree wait a year. I tried to speak to my boss and change the time of my vacation, but she told that it it?s impossible and the schedule of vacations was already settled and signed. So I will take any of your decisions, Bjarne . We just can meet in December and I would be happy to spend with you at least several hours a day after your work or we can wait a year. This decision is up to you, honey. You know, Bjarne , I have never mentioned this to you earlier, but I think at the stage where we are at it?s okay to share this. The thing is, I have a hobby, or I guess, I should it a passion. I love buying and wearing fine lingerie. By this I mean, that in my wardrobe it occupies a very special place. It?s not just any item that I will put on. It doesn?t have to be expensive, it has to have this special touch. It may be something very romantic, simple but elegant. It depends on my mood. And sometimes it?s something very sexy, playful and provocative. I guess, paying such attention to what I wear underneath my clothes comes from my childhood. When my sisters and I were little, Mom always bought us very pretty things and taught us that when we grow up, we should always remember that a woman?s lingerie should not be merely comfortable and practical, it should underline her feminineness. Once I came across a newspaper article about one of my favorite movies ?Gone with the Wind?. Among all other details, the author resorted to Vivien Lee?s memories. Like when they were shooting the movie, the film director ordered very expensive lingerie for her. And she protested, saying that it was unnecessary to go through such expenses, because the budget of the movie was already too big. And besides, she said, the viewers wouldn?t be able to see it anyways. And the director answered: ?But YOU will know you?re wearing it?. So, honey, I would like to ask you a very special and personal question: what?s your favorite color on a woman when it comes to lingerie? Bjarne , anyone except for my sister Ira and you didn?t see the picture that I have attached to this letter. I even managed to scan it myself at work, not to show anyone. Ira took it about two years ago and there?s a little story behind it. The thing is, once we had a discussion with her regarding posing nude. I?m no puritan, but I was the one who was rather against it. So she convinced me to try it myself to see there?s nothing really wrong with it, when it?s not for everyone but for that very special man. And that?s what came out. There wasn?t such man in my life to show it to, until I met you. Well, I hope you like the picture. Well, sweetheart, I?ve got to close up but I will be thinking of you. I hope you will come to me in my dreams this night. Love, your Ann.

Hi my dear Bjarne !
What a happiness it is to hear from you. Thank you so much for the warm letters and for the card. I certainly hope you had a happy Halloween and I?m so sorry you had a terrible day at work. Sometimes it happens, when you wake up in the morning and then things seem to take some crazy direction. But it passes, one just needs to be patient, till the sun comes our from behind the clouds. You know, before, when things went wrong at work, I use to come home and just take a hot bath, have a cup of hot chocolate and watch some good old comedy for the hundred and first time. And now I have so much more to take comfort from, I have you in my life, I can reread your letters. Just knowing that there?s you on the other end of the world, thinking of me too, makes my life so much happier. You know, I?ve been watching my fish again, it?s such a peaceful sight. And the sweethearts are still trying to distance themselves from the rest of my fish gang. : -) By the way, I noticed that fish are as curious as people, they tend to show too much interest in the life of my sweet couple. Bjarne , when I read your lines about how you hadn?t slept at night, it occurred to me how funny it was, I mean that lately, since we started writing, I?ve been sleeping such a sound sleep I haven?t slept in years. In fact, I don?t think I?ve had such a good sleep ever since I was a child. I dream such magical, such colorful dreams, that it?s so hard to wake up in the morning, returning back to the real world. And I?ve begun to see you often in my dreams. Bjarne , in my dreams you?re so close to me, that I can feel the warmth of your body and the strength of your hands, the softness or your lips? Seem as if our hearts are being as one and there?s no such force that could become an obstacle between us. Like last night I dreamt a wonderful dream. In that dream we were walking together, hand in hand, along the ocean shore. And the ocean, playful as a kitten, nipping at our bare feet, licking our footprints off the wet sand. Milky pink dawn was just being born in the cloudless sky, sprinkling the waves with its golden sparkles, light breeze played with our hair. And then all of the sudden it began to rain, in a second it was pouring heavily, and there?s wasn?t a single soul in sight, and no place, not even a tree, to seek shelter from. In an instant our clothes became soaking wet, and useless. So, we took it off, and plunged into the warm and gentle ocean waters. Myriad of raindrops, just like little pearls, hit the water surface, of the color of rising sun. We messed around in the water like two kids, yet I could feel your strong hands holding me, and I felt so safe, as I never had felt. We laughed, it was the most genuine laughter. As I woke up I thought that I wouldn?t be fair any more to say I?d never seen the ocean. Because I had. It was Our ocean. It can?t be found on the world map, but if there?s a map of our lives, I?m sure it?s there. And it?s called ?The Ocean of Bjarne and Ann?? Well, I?m closing up and will be eagerly anticipating your reply and so much looking forward to talking to you on Sunday. I too can?t wait! Thinking of you, Ann.

Hi Sweetheart!
Bjarne , since you came into my world, it has changed so much. As if some kind magician painted the black-and-white pictures with the brightest colors. God must?ve heard my prayers, when I asked him to send me that very man, whom I would give all the love I?ve kept in my heart, all my warmth and care. Who would care for me in return, who would be able to understand me, my soul. I am so grateful I have you in my life. They say one?s life is like a book, with many chapters. If so, then I have started a new chapter, the chapter full of love and happiness. And if so, I want to read every line carefully, savoring every word it contains. I want this chapter to be the last on the list of contents, but the longest and the most important one. And when I come to you,I would love to stay at your house just to spend with you every minute. As long as you do not mind of course. I know that you are real genleman and would nevere do anything what could hurt me.I trust you with all my heart. Bjarne , you?ve become my breath in the morning and my sigh at night. I await for us to enter this magical kingdom that we have made together. I could?ve devoted this letter to expressing all of the feelings and dreams that are overwhelming me now. But I also realize that to make those dreams come true there are steps to be taken. So, honey, I went to see the lady from the travel agency. We talked for quite a while, and Sonya (that?s her name) said that technically there are two ways of obtaining a visa. The first one would be to go to Kiev to the Embassy, pay $50 for the application, wait for the decision and get a refusal. As I have to have weighty reasons for returning back. (Like having family, underage children etc.) Which I do not have. But Sonya?s husband has connections at the Embassy, so their agency can help with obtaining a visa. This service is not official, so naturally they don?t offer it to everyone, although everything is done legally, it?s just that it?s rather a delicate matter. Anyways, the point is that they guarantee a visa within two weeks, but they take $350 for it. Besides, Bjarne , an invitation is required. It can be compiled in a free form, but the information about the person invited, the person inviting, the date and the reason is a must. It can be sent via fax. Besides, my father-in-God, Ivan, is now a vice Chancellor of the Institute I studied at. I?ve heard that they?ve been sending some of their postgraduate students on various exchange programs to Europe, as well as to the US and Canada. Anyways, I decided to address my father-in-God, and ask for his advice. So what he told me is that there really are such programs and that he could help me with a visa if there was a need to. Though it?d be different from what Sonya can do. Ivan could get all the necessary documents, saying that I?m a post-graduate student, going on a foreign-exchange program. In other words, I?d be assigned to a college in US for carrying out scientific research. (But it doesn?t mean I?d have to attend classes or anything.) That way I?d get a multi-visa, which would be valid for 2 years without any restrictions as for the number of visits and their duration. But obtaining such a visa would cost $1500. Ivan said such a visa could be obtained within 10 days. While I was at the agency, I also talked to Sonya about the ticket. She said that with all the discounts we could get a ticket Kiev-Frankfurt-Phoenix-Frankfurt-Kiev for $570. But for such a price the ticket has to be purchased a month in advance and paid for in Ukrainian currency. Don?t know why, but it?s the policy. I?m totally confused, it?s so much information. So, please, tell me your thoughts about all of this. What do we do now? Well, honey, I am closing up for today it is getting really dark outside. I just want to tell you that you are in my mind and in my heart. I will be eagerly waiting for your letter. Have a great day. Thinking of you. Your Ann.
