Dear Max,
Thank you for your letter. It was very interesting and I appreciate your story very much. In fact it touched my soul very deeply and I even had tears in my eyes when I have heard about your story. I understand your feelings when you loose your mother, and although both of my parents are alive, I know what it is to loose the person who is close to you. I think that we made a first step in our relationships. we got to know each other, it's important. Now I want to know you better, letters will help us in this I hope that one beautiful day we will meet and from that meeting our future will depend. I wrote you already that I'm serious and decide to make this step, because I'm tired of loneliness. I need only one man, who will understand me, love me, take care of me, i.e. I need family, and I will make that man happy... I can say about myself, that I'm kind, tender and honest. I do not like when somebody lie to me. In relationships I prefer to be open. Though, according to my experience, it's not good to open my soul to just anybody. I'm calm, well-balanced by my character but it's easy to offend me. I'm romantic and optimistic. My life differs from yours, because I have not possibility to do what I want. That's why it's not so full, though I try to find joy in something. I dream to change this life, to make it more full. Though I do not dream about this all the time, I try to feel ground under my feet. I give to my work not first place in my life, I think that for women family is the most important thing. If woman choose work as priority and makes career it affects onto her family. It's impossible to combine family and career without support. That's why I made my choice once without too much thoughts. I have to confess you, that I know English language not good. I finished a month courses, but was not able to go further because of financial problems. It has been half a year since then and I forget almost everything. Speaking frankly, I'm scared by the fact that I can't speak freely, that's why agency does the translation. Probably you will be disappointed by this. Believe me, I want to know English language and I think that this will not be a problem, it will take only time and learning. I have no brothers or sisters. My parents live not far away from me. They have their own flat. Our family have a relatives in Moscow, but because of high prices for tickets we have possibility only to correspond with each other. This way we maintain permanent contact. This is what my family consists of. I have to tell you that I correspond with you through the agency and use email forwarding and translation service. It's expensive thing and I won't be able to answer you often. Sorry, but I hope you will understand me. Or maybe you would consider to pay for our correspondence. If so, you may contact the agency. Their address is info@ellings.com.ua Please, tell me what you think about this? If you will not be able to help me, I will understand, just tell me your thoughts, OK? My story is quite simple, but I would like to tell it to you. Several years ago, when I was 21 years old and still studied I have mat a man whom I felt in love with. This was like a hurricane for me. I have never met such man before and I thought that future will be happy for us both. After several months of our meetings he made me a marriage proposal and, as you may guess, I agreed. We started preparation for marriage. I was very happy and imagined myself in a which dress on my wedding, but about 1 month before our marriage (just when we had to go the marriage house to apply for future registration) he suddenly disappeared. Nobody knew where he is. He was not a man from Kiev and his family lived in a distant city, I did not met with them. We tried to find him, but all was in vain. After a month of waiting and sorrow, I got a letter from him, where he told that he changed his mind about our marriage and had to go. He did not explained why and what made him change his mind, but after a year I saw him with a woman who seemed to be his wife. It was a shock for me and I was able to feel myself better about marriage only now. For all these years I was not even able to think about possible marriage. That's my story, the story about the woman who wanted to be happy and a man who ruined her faith in people. That's also the reason why I decided to look for my husband abroad. For now it's very hard top trust a man and you made me do this. I hope that our relationships will go on and my trust to you will grow. As you can see, I have failed relationships and I do not want to go through this once again. I wan to create a family and be happy in it. I want to love and I want to be loved! My dear please tell me how it is to play catch up.People at the agency were not able to translate the meaning of this word to me. So please, explain. As for my present work, I work as a manager on a small private firm and I work there with documents and papers and in the end of every month I prepare the report for my boss about financial situation on the firm. This is hard times for me, in the end of every month, because I have to look through many papers and documents to give the complete report about the work. I must tell you that I do not like my work, because I think it's boring and it does not pay good. My salary is only about $80 per month and it's allow me only to pay for my flat, to buy food for me and to help my parents very little. Speaking about my expectations from my future life-partner I can say that I expect him to be honest and decent person. All I need from him is love, care, respect and faithfulness. This is the qualities which I am looking for and on these qualities we will be able to build a good and strong family. In return I will do the same. I do not want to ask too much from my future life-partner, but I think that good family, besides love, will need a strong friendship. Love is passion and through friendship we will find the mutual understanding and willingness to help each other in any situation. Friendship may grow into love and such families are very happy - the families where are love and friendship together. My ideal of family is the family of my parents. They live with each other for about 30 years and all this time they had no quarrels and have never be apart even for one week. if you will see them one day you will see that they look more like friends than like lovers, but after associating with them you will understand that the feeling of lovers very strong in their hearts. So I would like to have such family as my parents have, though probably not only with one child (smile) As you can see, I want to have children, and I want to be a mother. I have never met a woman who does not want to be a mother though (smile) And you will be great father, I am sure I hope I was able to tell you more about myself. please ask me anything and I will answer you honestly, because as I said before I'm opened in relationships. I will wait for your letter. With best regards
Elena

The rest of her letters

My loving Max,
Thank you for your letter. I must tell you that I have never read such warm and tender letter from anybody. My dear, want to tell you that there is no competition between you and anybody else. For now I correspond only with you. I really have received a lot of letters on my profile, though most of them were not interesting and I did not reply them. I choose only five of them to reply and your letter was one of them. Till this time I have received only one reply, this reply was from you. So I correspond only with you now. And, speaking frankly, I do no want to correspond with anybody else now. It is my true intention to become real close to you and be your soulmate and I do not think it will be honestly if I would correspond with somebody else, besides you. So, my dear, I will continue writing only to you in future. My dear, I hope you will have success on Monday and I will pray for you. I think that my prayers will help you a lot. I really want you to be free from all this inspectors and will pay more attention to work and for correspondence with me (smile) I thank you for your wish to help me with paying for our correspondence. I hope, soon you will be able to pay the agency for our correspondence and I thank you for your wish to help me to maintain my family and myself. I really appreciate this wish of yours, because it is sometimes very difficult to pay all my debts and at the same time maintain my living and helping my parents. So I appreciate your wish to do it, but the best help you could do is to pay to the agency for my correspondence with you. Unfortunately, I have to tell you that my letters to you are all translated. I do not know English and can't write myself. I did not have a month of lessons, I only had two lessons. But I think that I will be able to learn English without problems,. So I would like to continue my lessons. If you will find it possible could you contact the agency about starting the lessons for me. It will help us a lot, I believe. Please, let me know, my darling, what do you think about this? In fact I do not worry tat you are very big man. I like tall men and I will feel myself defended when I will walk with you (smile). At least any other men will think twice before trying to make acquaintance with me (big smile). Thank you for explaining me what is catch up. My darling, I would like to catch up and live 5 years in one year, but after we will do it, I wish us to live usual life for several years. Once upon the time it would be great to catch-upbut most of all I appreciate usual life, usual family and I hope we will be able to create a great family together! I will be bale to come to you as soon as you will make arrangements. I talked to the agency an and here is what I have found. The price for the ticket from Kiev to your country (I do not know what city is nearest to you, where I could fly, so we took an average price) will be able $800, regarding to the time of the year when I will travel to you. Also we spoke of visa and passport problems. I will need a Tourist visa and passport. The travel agency I went to told me that the passport will cost me about $150 and visa itself will cost me about $400. But they guarantee that I will receive it. They said it's hard to receive a visa for a young woman, such as I am. But they are ready to take a risk and open a visa for me. They said, many women try to stay in your country illegally, that's why your government try to reduce the amount of Tourist visas. I told them that I will go to my loving man there and they believed me that even if I will stay there with you, it will be completely legal. I will also need $200 for the airport and customs expenses. So as you can se I will need about $1550 to make this trip to you. I do not know, maybe there will be some extra expenses, but this is the clear price, which I am giving you. Do you think it's over expensive? Please, contact the agency, and I am sure Mr. Zaitsev will be able to arrange everything for us to meet soon. But before we will meet, I would like to have English lessons and be able to speak with you without problems. My dear, our relationships is just at the beginning and we must be completely open with each other. I won't hide the fact, you are very interesting for me and I would like our relationships to grow more and more. I hope you have the same feelings towards me. I have never thought, when I placed my ad to the agency, I will be able to find such man as you are so fast. I prepared myself for long and lasting correspondence, but I see, probably, I won't need such long correspondence, because you have answered my ad. I have not many friends, but the one I have are my best one at the same time. I have 3 wonderful girlfriend and two of them are married. Their husbands are the permanent members of our group too. We spend time together quite often now and when the weather was better we went for picnics outside the city. I think that I'm a water person, because I like water very much. When I take bath, I can do it for hours and it will not bore me. I see that some people do not like to wash themselves, but not me. I'm very clean and neat person. When I'm alone I like to read books. From my childhood I liked this. In my parent's house we had a lot of books and I think I have read all of them (maybe not all but biggest part of them). There were modern and classic books, but I have read them with equal pleasure. I thank god that this did not spoil my vision (eyesight). Now I have the habit for reading too. I try to read interesting books all the time, because I think that reading increases mental abilities of a person and will wide the mental outlook. Besides books I like to see movies. Not all of them of course. I like love stories and sometimes action films (but without too many blood on the screen). I also like to receive flowers very much! (smile) My loving Max I will close for now and will wait for you letter soon. I will pray for you tomorrow and I hope you will be able to pay for our correspondence and start English lessons for me. Please, let me know what you think I am sending you my love
Your Elena

My darling Max, I have not heard from you for some time and I hope you have received my last letter. Please, reply me as soon as you can With best wishes
Your Elena

My loving Max,
Thank you so very much for your wonderful letter. I was a bit worried when I did not receive a letter from you but I knew that you were busy with your government inspection and I just did not know if you have received my letter. I am happy you did and I thank you that you will help me with correspondence fees and English lessons. But I wonder why you can't send the money for correspondence and English lessons at once. I know that the agency has some discounts if you will send the money for correspondence and lessons at once. So, please, dear Max, make inquiry about this with the agency. OK? Darling, I do not think that the photos of me will make your life shorter. In fact, when I will come to you, I want to make your life as long as possible, because you became very close and dear to me and I believe that soon we will be together. So, do not worry, I know that I will be able to make your life happier and will never make it shorter (smile) I am happy that FDA inspection went very well. I know what government inspection is because sometimes at work we have a tax inspections, and I am sure I loose 10 kilos every time. Government sometimes give us a lot of useless attention and it affect the effectiveness of our work. I watch the news and I am very sorry to hear about the disaster in Czech and Germany, but, fortunately, none of my relatives lives there so nobody was hurt. Here, in Ukraine we have quite nice weather although some people tell us that soon we will have a big earthquake, but, personally, I do not believe this. Honey, speaking about your visiting me in Kiev., I think that we should keep to our plan of meeting in your country. Than, after we will get married (I am sure we will since we both feel very strong attraction to each other we will, after some time, which we will spend together, visit Ukraine and meet my parents and see Kiev. What do you think about this? I want to come to you first because it will allow me to see how you live, to get acquainted with your life-style and only when we will become family we will return to Ukraine and will establish celebration!!! thank you for telling me that you will never abandon me like my previous fiance did. After that event I decided to stop all relationships with local men and I am happy I did this. I have met you now and I do not need anybody else but you. I am so happy that my life brought you and I together and I know that soon we will meet and get married. We will be wonderful family: you will be the best husband and father and I will be the best wife and mother ever. Without doubt, everybody will envy us, because we will be happy, my love!!! Thank you for the photo of your city. I am sure I will like it. Please, let me know what kind of climate you have there? Is it cold in winter or hot in summer? Has it happen such disasters as Europe have now? Is this city have low crime? I ask this to get acquainted with your city and hope that soon I will see it by my own eyes and you will be a perfect guide for me!!!! My darling I will be happy to come to you in the beginning of October. This will be wonderful. When I was writing this letter I was thinking for myself that we could start everything at one time. If you will send funds for correspondence between me and you, for my English lessons and for my trip to you at once, than by the begging of October, I will learn English well enough to sit on the plane and come to you. What do you think about my idea? I understand that it is a lot of money, but I hope that you could afford this. I will be more than happy to come to you as soon as I will learn enough English and when my documents will be prepared by the agency. So if you agree with my idea, please, contact the agency (Mr. Andrew Zaitsev) and get to know all the details. OK? I will tell you more about myself: I was graduated from automatics and telemechaniks faculty. This is the faculty which produces the engineer-electric. Though now I do not work on my specialty. As you know there is an economical crisis in Ukraine now and there is very small demand on my profession right now. Speaking frankly, I do not know if I remember something from my education, because it was long ago. But I hope if there will be demand for my profession here I will remember what I studied. Though I have to tell you, I do not like to be an engineer. I would prefer to have some small business. My birthday in on July 10th. I usually do not celebrate it with many guests, just my parents, my girlfriend and I. I do not like overcrowded parties. I like small and cozy companies, where everybody knows each other and can speak on any subject. My favorite flowers are red or creme roses. I like to get lots of roses, but it's a bit sad to see them fade. Anyway I like roses and even their fading can't stop me loving them. As for food, I enjoy any type of food, especially Ukrainian cooking. But I do not eat too fat food (maybe only sometime), because I do not want to get too fat. Every weekend I try to go to the gym and do exercises . I try to keep my body in shape. I believe, the good appearance of wife makes her man appreciate her in all ways. I will never meet my husband from work in night gown and with hair curlers on my head. I will always look sharp for my husband. That's why from school time I look for my body, going to gym, try not to eat a lot. Though I can assure you, I will never grew fat. In my family there were no fat women. But anyway, I try not to eat fat food. If I see, I gain several extra kilos, I may not eat for couple of days till my weight will settle into shape. As you could see on my photos, I do not use very bright cosmetics. I prefer small amount of cosmetics, but I put it in smart way to look naturally. During my childhood in the summer I always went to my grandparents to the country side and spent there all summer holidays. They had a big house near the forest and the river. My grandfather was fond of beekeeping and I always eat a lot of honey during the year. I like honey and also I like to eat honeycombs. When I will grow older and will have my own lot of ground I will also do a beekeeping without fail. I also swam a lot in the river there and went to forest in August to gather mushrooms. If the summer were rainy, there were a lot of Boletus luteus and orange-cap boletus mushrooms in the forests. Did I tell you like mushrooms? if no, I must tell you I adore mushrooms! I like them cooked in any style: fried, boiled, in the pies, pickled, etc. I know a lot of mushrooms types here and would never gather poison mushroom. Have you read J.R.R.Tolkien books about hobbits? I seem to be a hobbit ancestor - I like mushrooms the same as they did (smile) Well, life in Ukraine is difficult and you are right when you said this. But probably you really do not imagine how difficult it is. before USSR collapse we lived our life as a normal people, but after 1991, the life gets worse and worse. Now people do not get salaries for months. There are many very rich people here, but usually they are bandits or just a businessmen who have access to the governments and taking money from budget. Western countries give us credits to maintain our economy, but all this money find their place in pockets of our government and people close to them. the economy goes down the drain. E.g. my salary is only $80 per month and the prices for food is just the same as in Europe or, probably, in America. But I really do not want to bore you with this problems. I hope that my country will find strength to live normal civilized life, since we have so many clever people here! My love, I will close for now and will wait for your reply very soon. Please, let me know what you think about my idea about starting lessons and the process for my trip right now and I hope you will support my idea. Also I hope you will answer me as soon as possible With all my life Your forever Elena

Dear Sir,

Please, let me know if you have been able to send the funds as you wanted.

Thank you
