Hallo my darling Henry!
I'm very happy that you responded me at last. I was waiting for your letter with great impatience. As for my English I learnt it at school, at lyceum and then in the Institute Thanks I didn't know it's so good. So I'd like to tell you more about myself for you to know me better. My full name is Lida Kurutkina. My birthday is 30.07.78 I like sport. I like various kinds of sport: volleyball, swimming, aerobics, sport dancing. Also I adore short-term trips with group to the country. For example, there we put tents, make a fire, cook food(I like to cook)(usually fish soup, millet porridge, and toasts), sing songs, fool, and tell terrifying stories. Generally we have a good time. I adore flowers in all their displays. I think that they beautify our life anywhere: at home, in the street, in the work place. As for me I think that there is no woman who does not like flowers at all. I prefer blood-red roses, delicate lilies, and noble irises. When there is a vase of flowers on the table in the hall or on bedside table near the bed, it means that you will be elated all the day, have a desire to do the best for everybody. I am fond of dancing very much. I attended dancing lessons in the Institute two times a week. Most of all I like Latin-American dances, because they are so passionate, rhythmical, active. Lida with warm kisses

Hi Henry!
I was jolly glad to receive your letter. It seems to me you are a very pleasant person, & I hope our correspondence will continue. Now, I would like to tell you about myself. As you already know my name is Lida & I am 23. I live in Makeyevka, it is a small Ukrainian town. I have a lot of good friends, but none of them is a person I can talk by heart with. I want to feel that somebody takes care of me, I want to press myself to your strong shoulder & feel happy. I hope that we'll become people who need each other, we'll learn to understand each other, tell each other many tender words, nice events from our lives & even dreams. I hope to find in you the man of my dream. I will do anything that we could be happy. My life does not have any sense without the man as my close friend. I am a romantic nature and life-loving, with a sense of humor. I would like to meet a man who will value all my qualities. I would like to see a tender-hearted, loving, reliable man beside me. I hate being lonely so I want to meet a man who will be always near me. I like tavelling but I have never been abroad. It's a pity! I'd love to very much. Please send me your photos. I shall feel you a little bit closer to me if I have your photo. I am waiting for your message with impatience. Please, write to me on my e-mail: lida648@pisem.net Best regards. Lida.

Hi Henry!
It's nice to hear from you I think all good relationships start as good friends, and seem to stand the test of time when love develops later. I feel as if I have a lot to offer someone and my life would be most complete to share it with someone special. The more I learn about you the more I like you. I see that you have the same passion for life as I do. I always want you to know that I am sincere with you and I hope that you never question that. I know other people can make a lot of promises that they never keep to you. I on the other hand have every intention of knowing you. I love to travel and I want very much to your country. I hope you feel the same as I. I think it is very possible to know someone so far away and have a very wonderful, loving, and caring relationship. Commitment is the key and not giving up. I have never felt so good about my decision to meet someone like you over the Internet. I have no doubt that I am doing the right thing in my life. If I felt this were the wrong thing to do, I would not do it. I always try to follow my heart in doing the right thing and I know that what I am doing is the right thing for me. I hope you know what I mean and you have had similar feelings. I'd like to meet you as soon as possible!!! I missss you! So all for now. Lida with warm kisses.

Hi my honey!
I' m so glad that we'll meet and so soon and I could touch you and feel your strong shoulder. I'm dreaming about our meeting. I imagine it already. Romantic evening together... It's difficult to write about my feelings, but I'll try... for you. So... imagine a warm summer evening & the small cafe on the lake's beach which is far from city with its noise & its not realized problems. We are sitting at the comfy table with soft music. There are a lot of people sitting around us but in this moment when your hand is touching mine I feel so as there is nobody & nothing around us. Only you and I. The silence is laying among us & only our eyes are telling us that we would like every day & every moment to be together, than we could not live without each other. These feelings fill our hearts,souls and minds. When we are in love we are ready to do everything possible & even impossible that's to hold our love. We leave the cafe & walk along the lake's beach under the stars which are as old as the world, with their-cold shining these stars are reflected in the smooth lake's surface & in your warm & bottomless eyes. Nature around us is wonderful magic lake & enchanted forest. We hear, a familiar melody. This is the melody of our first meeting. We dance on the sand & feel the beat of our hearts. And then the car will get us away to the depth of the night... Who does not hope for the best? But sometime our beautiful dreams are only a sand castle which can be destroyed by occasion wave... I think that all of us are romantics in our souls. We always wait for exclusive happiness. What do you think of it, Henry? Tell me. Yes I was in Odessa, but it was long ago, I was a little girl then. I oftener visit Mariupol and Azov Sea.But I don't like it very much because it's dirty there. I love Black Sea. There was time when I visited it really often but now I can't afford it. I work as a tutor in the kindergarten. And the salary is very low. My address is Ukraine,Makeyevka,83050, Zheleznodorozhnaya str,24/76 Bye Lida kiss you tenderly. P.S.By the way now I'm blond.

Hi Henry!
I'm very happy you write to me. Sorry, I didn't answer your earlier. You see I thought your invitation over and I really would love to spend time in your city with you, we'll know each other better, speak much about everything to each other. But the problem is that I have no money to get to your place and I have nobody to lend me money. I don't know what to do!! I decided to write to you to ask for your advice. What do you think? How can we meet? I'm dreaming every day about our meeting and what we are going to do together and about everything!!!!! Henry, hope to hear from you soon. Kiss you Lida. P.S.It's a pity but I don't have a telephone. But my friend does. I'll ask her if she agrees to give her number.If yes we could talk then. Do you agree?

Hi Henry!
Your letters please me so much every time I get them I'm so glad you want to be with me. I couldn't even dream about such happiness. I went to the travel agency and asked about the cost of everything. They said that they can do everything for me,i mean passport,visa and tickets, for 1200$. They said that it's the cheapest way to arrange everything But it's anyway such a great sum of money !!! I can't even imagine such amount. And I can't ask you to send me it. It's so uncomfortable for me. But there's no other way i think I don't have such money And I want to meet you so much and spend with you unforgettable days!!! Besides I asked people in that travel agency about how you can send me money and they told that the fastest and easiest way is to send the it by Western Union. All you need is my full name Lida Kurutkina my city Makeyevka and my country Ukraine. i want to be with you, to find everything about that chemistry and how we get along I hope well What do you think about everything? Tell me,please. Hope to hear from you soon. Bye honey.Can I call you that. Lida,kisses.

Hi my dear Henry! I'm so glad you write to me again. You see I have no bank account. I don't know what we can do about it. I don't understand what problem can be with Western Union. In the travel agency they told me that it is the most convenient,fastest, easiest and safe way to send money. So I don't know what to do. Please tell me. I want to see you so much!!! And be with you and only you!!! Kiss you tenderly. Bye Henry. Lida. P.S. I don't work now. I have vacations now, I told you. So You can't call me to my work. You know that kindergartens don't work in summer. Parents take them with them somewhere to the seaside. So there's nobody there at my work.

Dear Henry !
I'm so glad that you've sent me a letter. I'm really interested in you. And with each your letter I understand that you are a very interesting person. So, I want our correspondence will continue and may be in future we will meet with you. I've told you already, that I want to find a man of my dream and to form a happy family, to bear kids. And I'm very glad that you have also the serious intentions. I think that the family, children are the most important things in our life. As for my bank account I'm sorry but I have no number and it's not relevant for most people in our country to have an account, as our waiges are not high (about 50$ in average per month). If you need to have the telephone number of our travel agency, here it is:38-0623-33-25-82.You may talk to our manager and they'll explaine you everything what you need. Dear , thanks for your reply and I hope to hear soon from you. My kisses and hugs to you, Lida.

Hello Henry !
You know I want to say that I'm always thinking about you. I go to sleep and I wake up with the only thought. It is about you. Dear Henry ! I really think that we can fit to each other. I was looking for the man like you. And may be soon I will be able to lean to you and to put my hands on your shoulder. I have known in the center that you are not so far from me as it seems. I know that you are also thinking about me. After your letter I can't find the place for me. I'm missing you very much. I think that you are that man of my dream with whom I will feel myself confident.. I like very much cooking . I will take for you with pleasure a cup of coffee every morning in your bed. I hope that I will can become for you a real friend and soul mate. Darlin',I'm in despare,I don't know what to do.I've got no one to have this freaking bnk account.Even in the travel agency,there's no one like that.By the way when u call to the agency you may speak to the manager Victor,he'll be to tell u everything in details about papers,prices etc...Darling,I'm terribly sorry for my problems,but if u don't trust W.U. u may send money via MoneyGram's system,U may send it either on my name or the general manager's name Anna Galotenko, anyway I love U and U are the only joy in my life,I do care of U,my lover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Ocean to Ocean They are two people drawn together by an unseen power. A bond from a distance, only they know the reason. Love has an intensity as still as a calm night or as savage as a raging storm. That is the need. Together they are one, alone no more. A light comes into their hearts to make them alive. Aware of life and living again in a complacent world. Strangers for a time, until their souls reach out and touch one another. The knowledge of a lifetime is passed between them. Sharing the joys, the tribulations, the expectations is a new experience. Strangers no more, caring begins. With familiarity comes laughter to brighten the spirit and lighten the heart. An understanding, that words cannot express, spreads across the miles and friendship commences. They wonder at this new found level of love. They revel at the very thought of hands caressing and lips touching from ocean to ocean. The beauty of love is seen as an oasis in the desert of loneliness. They know where to look and what to say. They understand the workings of the mind to protect from pain. It is all so new and yet so easy. Heaven on earth can be love. It can be friendship. It can be understanding and compassion. Most of all it is giving. They gave of each other for each other's happiness. And together they found everything.... Your Lida !

Dear Henry !
Darling,I thought u've already abandoned me!!!!!! Sorry,but I don't know what to do,I'm exhausted. I'm in despare,.I've got no one to have the account.Even the manager Victor,he told me that it's not profitable to have it.Our bank system is not reliable.You may put your money on the bank account and you've got a chance to lose it and that's terrible!!! And there's none to accuse of,unfuckingbelievable(sorry for the terrible word,it's because of my despaire).It's up to you to decide if I can be happy or not.I've neber thought that it's so difficult and complicated to be happy,to be in love and to be loved.Sorry for my pessimism.Darling,I'm terribly sorry for my problems,but if u don't trust W.U. u may send money via MoneyGram's system,whatever happens I love U and U are the only joy in my life,I do care of U,my lover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loving you lida.
