Hello my new friend Elijah!
I wrote to several men I wanted to get acquainted
with.
You're the only one to answer me.
Frankly speaking I liked you more than others.
I don't know how to explain that but I waited for the
letter just from
you.
I am very glad, that you haven't left my letter
without response.
I want to tell you about myself and I want you to like
me very much
too.
I want us to have known each other well.
It may be a destiny. We may need each other.
If not, I think we may become good friends.
I speak and write English, but I make mistakes.
Don't pay too much attention to those. I shall study
former.
I'd like to confess you, that my knowledge of computer
is poor too, and
it took
me a lot of time to write this letter,
And by the end of the letter I already managed to have
studied the
keyboard.
Think I'll have studied computer in future.
I'm capable! I want tell you about myself a bit.
My name is Marina. I live in Russia. It's a very large
country having
great opportunities.
But now my country doesn't experience the best times.

about it bad.
But many things don't suit me here.
I'll write you about it later.
But I want to learn more regarding it.
It is very interesting to me! I live in city of
Kostroma located about
400 miles to
the North-East from Moscow. There are many historical
monuments and
places
of interest there. Handicraft and some branches of
industry are also
developed.
Kostroma is famous for its food products (cheese,
butter, etc.).
I think, that it was interesting to you to learn it.
I was born and bred here. Here I went to kindergarten,
to school
and to the university. Very good recollections of my
childhood remained
in my memory.
I was a very vigorous and inquisitive girl. Now I'm 26
years old and
I already work. I work at hospital. I'm a children's
doctor.
I received a high education at medical university.
My work isn't difficult, but it takes a lot of time.
I like my job. I love children and help them to be
healthy.
Hope you haven't grown tired much when reading my
letter. I just
wanted to tell to you my life.

Hi Elijah!
I read your letter and understood everything.
I think we haven't got problems about the dialogue.
It was very interesting for me to read it.
Ņurious why I wrote to you?
I want to get acquainted with an honest man.
I want him to be loyal and courteous to me.
I want us to have a mutual understanding.
I had sad experience with a man.
He appeared to deceive me.
Besides he began drinking much and stroke me.
I became disappointed about our men.
I don't want it to repeat.
I know, that people are different all over the place.
Besides it is very hard to live in our country.
It is a lot of criminals and drugmen.
I don't not want my future children to live among it.
I think you understand me.
But do not look at it, as though I tomorrow to
decide(solve) to leave
for you tomorrow in marriage.
I don't want to make of mistakes. I want to learn
about you more.
In any case I to think, that we'll remain good
friends.
I want to tell you about my family.
I live together with my mum and dad.
My daddy works in militia(police), he the inspector.
It is a dangerous work. Our friends and relatives
respect him.
The mum to works as a cook in cafe. She cooks very
tasty .
She teaches me cooking.
I love and respect my parents very much.
I like to spend time outdoors. What's your nature
like ?
I like to listen different music. I also listen your
music.
What you love to listen?
I also go in for sports.
I'm fond swimming and skiing very much.
I with impatience wait for your answer.
Marina.
Hi my best friend Elijah !
Thank you for your new letter.
I was affraid that you wouldn't write to me.
I already miss your letters a bit.
I reached Internet-cafå to write to you again.
Yes I write to you from Internet-cafe.
I don't have my personal computer at home.
I did not have necessity to hold it at home.
Fortunately Internet-cafe is near my house.
I can reach hereany time.
With each new letter we to become closer and closer to
each other.
And I think that it is right.
I think that it will be interesting to you to find out
my post address
in Kostroma.
My post address:
Russia
city : Kostroma
street: Sovietskaya
house 120
apartment 41
zip 156023
Marina Yamaeva
You can send me letters and photoes there.
I shall be happy to receive them.
But I think that it will be very long and it is
possible to lose all
letters
and photoes.
Can I send you letters by regular mail?
I want to tell you, that ground mail is very
unreliable here.
People say that the international letters very seldom
reach here.
So you please don't be surprised.
And my letters may not reach you either.
I haven't got my private phone at the spare of the
moment.
It is very bad, as it is the very important thing in
an apartment.
I already want to speak with you over the telephone
and to hear your
voice.
I think that voice of a person says much about the
man.
What's your opinion?
If I to have an opportunity to speak with you over the
computer,
I'd have already done it.
But I can only write to you letters.
I shall believe that I soon search for a way and we
can communicate
over the telephone.
Even if it will be several words, but for me it will
be very important!
I very much love flowers, especially red rose.
But nobody gives to me them already for a long time.
I dream, that in such beautiful season I shall have
the love and go
with it
along a street with a red rose in hands and the kiss
with it is long
long.
It will be so beautiful and romantic. I already for a
long time
haven't experienced such feelings.
And very much want to experience them!!!
But I'm alone for now and search for my life-mate.
I want to continue with you the relation and I do
believe
that everything can be very well about us.
Though between us it is so much a lot of distance, and
I want so much
to see you by my side and to speak with you.
It's my dream only for now, and I also should return
to a reality.
I wish to you good mood these days and do not forget
me (Smile!!!).
I shall wait about impatience your letter and miss
you!!!!
Your flower Marina!!!
Hi darling Elijah!
I am happy to read your letter.
During the feasts my parents visited their friends,
my girl-friends and I went out too. Today is a working
day again.
Great October Socialist Revolution (GOSR) holiday was
widely celebrated
in the former
Soviet Union with demonstrations and public
promenades. Nowadays
it's not a holiday at all, but the days off remained.
I've taken my pictures at the studio.
We call the Internet-cafe a centre where the Internet
services are
executed. There are none libraries there, but computer
equipment and
disquettes only. They charge me $62 per month for our
correspondence.
How are you ?
How is your mood? I think that you're OK.
I shall ask the god, that you will be healthy and
happy.
I frequently go to church.
It is very important for me. Do you attend church
sometimes?
What do you ask God for?
I always ask him that everything will be good and
everyone will be
healthy.
I know that he hears me and makes only good for
people.
Each man in the world should live well and happily,
Regardless of the fact that he made bad.
Do you agree with me?
I want to know, what is your point of view on this
question.
Well, I want to tell you, that my heart began beat
more often, when I
think about you!!!!
I ask you to send me all the photos of yours in which
you are.
They will help me to feel your presence near my side.
I want to feel you, your gentle sight, your smile,
your hands.
I need some warmth and care and I think, that I ask
not so much.
I search for a true love and romanticism in the
relations.
I love when all things are beautiful, perfect, gentle
and romantic!!!
I've got a desire to have a family and favourite man
by my side,
Feeling care and constant support in difficult minute,
that, what aspire each man in life and I too.
I'm 26 years old, but I still haven't got what I tell
you about.
I was close happiness in the past, but my trust broke
my heart.
I should trust the man who is my life-mate. To trust
his every word,
gesture, sight, smile.
There 's so much meanness and deceipt in the world now
that is
necessary very closely concern people, which surround
you.
I don't mean it is necessary mistrust everyone,
just you should know
a human so good as to rely upon him completely.
I've known you for a short time, but I can tell you,
that you are very
honest ,open man.
That attracts me very much and gives me hope that I
can love and be
beloved!!!
My mum teaches me, that I should be always open.
I told her, that our relations develop successfully
and she is happy
for us.
She dreams, that I won't be alone and have a family.
I now want to talk about you!
I want to share my joy with you in person
When I see your eyes and smile.
I want see your pleasure and share it with you.
I want to know what makes you happy.
And I shall try to do my best to deliver real
happiness for you.
Please give me chance to make it!!!
Give me chance again to feel loving and beloved woman.
I wait for your beautiful letter and I promise,
That I shall think of you each minute.
With love Marina.
Hello my dear Elijah!!!
I received your wonderful letter and happy that you
have written me.
I really speak English, but make mistakes sometimes.
As for my pics, they are taken at a studio.
I already wrote to you that I'm a children's doctor
and that I love
children
very much, probably therefore I have chosen this
trade for myself.
It is heavy work, but I like my work very much.
I get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, take a shower
and
have breakfast . At 7 o'clock I leave for work.
I get to my work by municipal transport, it takes me
40 minutes.
At 8 o'clock in the morning my working day begins.
Parents with small children come to me, and each of
them have
a problem or diseas.
I help children to overcome their troubles.
Many children are not able to speak, but only cry.
I give them a toy which calms them, thus
I have time to determine what disturbs the kid.
Many children very much love to be at me in a study,
because I talk with the parents of the kid,
and he has time to play with toys which are on
half-glasses,
it very much is pleasant to them sometimes they do not
wish to leave
me.
It so funny also causes pleasure and smile on my
person.
I know that if they liked that they will come again to
me.
Children deliver not problems , but pleasure in life.
When I have children I will be the happiest mum in the
world.
In the afternoon I have a lunchbreak ladsting for one
hour.
I finish work at 17 o'clock in the evening.
Then get home, I cook, I read, I have a rest,
I look the TV set and I lie down to sleep and so each
day except
for Saturday and Sunday.
I much read and I study culture of the different
countries and peoples.
I know that in many countries a trade of the doctor it
highly paid
work,
but not in Russia at us the lowest income.
I receive 100 $ per one month.
It it is not enough, but for me the material assets
are not important,
for me the attitude to life and to work is important.
Love and tenderness.
Your Marina.
Hi my love Elijah !
I am very happy that I've met you in my life.
I 've never been so happy yet.
Now I changed completely, all my familiars and friends
notice that.
It is all due to you.
As though I fly to heaven.
I need nothing but your letters and you.
I think suddenly you has not written me, suddenly you
not receive my
letter.
But when I see, that all is normal for me become
well and I with
pleasure and with good mood
to write you the answer.
I yesterday thought of our relations and about our
feelings.
I've already become attached to you and I don't know
what to do
when I don't see your letters.
I've always been thinking of you.
I became more distracted at work.
I can't help it..
I guess this all may be called with a word of love.
Yes I love you. I told my mum about u.
She asked me if I really loved u and want be with
you.
I w/o thinking replied that I loved u very much and I
can picture my
life without you.
I told her about you and she replied that you're a
very good man and
it'spossible to trust you.
But she however is worried about me a bit.
She tells me that I should not be mistaken about my
choice and and it's
early to say about loven
for now.
She says that we should have known better with each
other.
But I understand her. She loves me.
And she's just my mother.
I think that you understand me.
She wishes us happiness and real love.
I've grown very much tired at work today.
I had a very hard day.
I shall write you tomorrow.
I shall be with impatience wait for your next letter.
Because we become still closer with each letter.
I notice, that our letters are full of love and good
spirit.
I want that it always would proceed.
I send to you the most passionate kiss.
And wish you successful day.
You always in my heart.
Your love Marina.
Hello, my love Elijah !
I'm happy to receive your letter again.
It itself is like a miracle for me.
Your words, your feelings are transferred
to me, overfilling me with some kind
of unknown before presumption.
We'll have a marvellous story, my honey !
Yes, we're forced to and should be patient.
During these long days of expectation
our correspondence gains particular sense
for us. We have an oppportunity to share
our emotions, views on our meeting and
life together, to learn more about each
other. I miss you very much, I can't
help it. My sorrow and loven go together.
That should be so I guess.
During this weekend I helped my mum about
the house and cooking. What a pity that
the Russians don't celebrate Thanksgiving
Day. It's a good tradition to cook turkey
on that day. The Russians rather prepare
chicken in the oven. When we are together,
I'll cook it for you, my destinated !
And you'll teach me to cook a pumpkin pie
in your turn.
We should thank Lord for everything
he grants us. I think it's a great holiday,
my advanced congratulations whereof I send
you hereby. You're the most precious gift
granted by him to me ! I've been thinking
of you each minute and want to share each
minute of my life together with you !
Looking forward to hearing from you, my love.
God blesses you and take care.
Forever Yours,
Marina.
Hi my dear and gentle Elijah!
I have received your letter and thank you for your
detailed
story about yourself. As you know I live in
Kostroma-town.
It is located about 400 miles to the North-East from
Moscow.
It's an old cultural and historical centre of Russia.
The are a lot of churches, cathedrals, bellfries,
chapels,
parks, museums, squares and other places of interest
in our town.
There are two rivers here: Zaprudna that floods
through the town
and Volga washing one side of the town. I'll continue
the story
about it later.
I had a lot of work, because there are much children
that are ill.
I get tired very much and literally I fall from legs
Sole pleasure and rest from work are ideas about you,
my dear
Your letters and your words bring me unique feeling,
which cant be
described!
I begin to believe that in our chaotic world there is
a man with kind
heart and sincere feelings.
For me I have found such man and this man is YOU!
I am grateful to the Internet and it is not a pity of
that money
absolutely , which I have spent for it.
Do you write many girls probably and am I not sole who
write you?
Here there are a lot of girls, which correspond with
the Americans
They speak, that many Americans correspond only for
the sake of
entertainment
It is some kind of occupation from boredom and they
want to fill up the
collection of photos
of the Russian girls simply ,
and they promise much, but do not carry out the
promises
Is it the truth?
I do not want to believe in it, but it is the fact
from which it is not
impossible to escape and to hide
And in the our country, and in your country there are
bad and dishonest
people, which prevent
the normal relations of the good people, which want
to find own half
in this life
I hope that all this things will not damage and will
not interfere in
our further relations
I would not like to lose you
You are the sole man, which understand me and my
feelings completely
You are the sole, to whom I can completely trust and
open
You are sole, whom I like
I shall wait for your following message with
impatience
Write me about the feelings and revelations!
With tenderness and love,
Your always Marina.
Hi my love Elijah!!!
I am again happy to see your letter. I have read it
and again began
to understand that you are the sole man in my life.
Which can understand me and support in difficult
situations.
Like any other woman I dream to have my own family,
honest, loyal
and reliable husband to care for and to help him about
everything;
children to foster; home to keep and tide up, etc.
I am happy that I had met you and had written to you
and anybody to
another.
That day when I had written you was happiest in my all
life.
I know that all things are under construction on trust
and
understanding,
Any relations without it can not exist in general,
differently.
It is difficult to name it as the close relations. But
I consider
between.
We already generated the close and sensual relations.
Personally it occurs now to me. I do not know as you
my love, but
I am in such condition.
It would be desirable to be with you, to embrace you.
To see and to
love you only.
I can not help thinking of you. I rise and I lie down
to sleep
recollecting
about you.
About what you told me.
I also think of you and your letters only.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
With love, your Marina.
Hi my perfect and wonderful Elijah!!!
I am again glad to see your letter.
Winter has already come to our place. Yes, snow, and
-15-20 C. This
kind of weather is considered normal to our place.
I've got used to
cold.
Each your letter brings warmth into my heart.
I dream of that day when it will be not the letter and
our long-awaited
meeting.
Today it is not magnificent weather in the street.
Weather is not very
warm and sunny.
In such perfect day best to be in the street and to go
for a walk on
fresh air.
It is so pleasant. Especially when to leave with the
friends from city
in a forest on the picnic.
It is wonderful.
I know probably I am too romantic and I love a nature
very much.
Yesterday I dreamed of us walking in the forest. When
I think of you,
my favourite man,
I become so happy and it is pleasant and joyfully on
heart, that for me
it would be desirable
to fly with happiness.
I understand that I can not live without you, without
your words,
without your embraces and kisses.
For this that I searched all my life.
You probably are intended to me by destiny. I should
connect life only
with you my lovely.
I am happy that you are mine. I value it very much. I
do not want to
lose you never. You are my sense
of life.
Without you I have nothing to live in this world. I
always dreamed
about such man as you,
such understanding and fond man.
I want that we will be with each other.
I shall wait your letter soon. I hope to receive it
and to be delighted
to your answer.
A lot of kisses to my darling,
Your always loving Marina.
Hi my love Elijah !
I'm happy to receive your letter again.
When being a child I often used to attend amusement
parks,
but I have never been to roller coaster yet. I guess
it's a breath-taking entertainment. You ask me
what is one thing I'm afraid of ? I think every human
is
affraid of death. But I trust in God, in my
custody-angel,
and in you, my honey.
I thank Lord for his granting you to me. And I want to
be with you
very much. Just dream of visiting you one day.
I went to agency, they have told me what documents I
should settle.
I can make these documents in 2-3 days. After I give
the documents
back,
they will prepare the visa (in 3-10 days it will be
ready).
This visa will be valid during 90 days stay with you.
If we see that
we compatible with
each other,
that we can marry and I'll remain with you for ever.
This visa plus expenses costs 350 USD.
I also leart about the tickets, in order to reach you
it is necessary
to go to Moscow.
>From Moscow I can fly to you. The ticket costs 650
USD.
I want to begin making the visa and buying the
ticket to fly to you.
What are your plans?
I to want to know everything what you to think of it.
We should trust each other because we like each other.
Romantic things ? Yes, I like roses very much.
I imagined our first romantic evening many times.
Dinner
in the candle lights, table with fruit and soft grape
wine.
Slow music. We're dancing. You touch me gently, and we
merge
in a long tender and passionate kiss. You drag my hair
with
your fingers, we hug each other, feel the warmth of
our bodies,
you take me into your arms and carry out to bed...
I miss you very much.
Yesterday I saw sexual dream about us with you, I
liked it very much,
so I want
to tell you about it. I dreamed that I met you, you
took
me on your arms, and we went home to you. At your home
we at once
went to the bedroom and you
began undress me, our hearts beating synchronically,
we passionately
kissed and
you began to teach me to all pleasures of sex.
I love you and I begin understand that love this
such a strong
feeling,
I am glad
that I could experience it thanx to you.
With love yours
Marina
Hi my darling Elijah!
I have received a letter from you and the life for me
was filled with
sense.
Of course I enjoyed your previous letter very much
too.
I found it very romatic.
I begin to understand that my life is not meaningful
without you.
Because I love you.
I have neither brothers, nor sisters, but I have
several close
girl-friend. We sometimes go out and spend weekends
together,
but not so often. You're my best friend and my
sweetheart, my honey.
I spoke with my mum about that probably I shall leave
for America,
She is only glad for me, she thinks that it is my
happiness.
Today I all day thought only about you, about that how
I meet you.
I dream , how you will meet me in the airport, how we
will search each
other with our eyes,
We will find and rush into hugs with each other.
I have find out about a cost of the visa, it costs
about 350 dollars.
Yes, you're right, you don't have to go to me. Having
obtained my
passport and visa, I could go to you myself.
The girlfriend who works in a travel company, have
told me about it.
My birthday is coming soon. I was born on Dec.,16,
1976.
That forthcoming birthday could be a perfect day for
me,
but I am very sad because you and I are so far apart.
Between us there is a huge ocean, but you are in my
mind all the time.
Love hurts sometimes, and takes time to make our
dreams come true.
I love you and you are in my mind forever.
Best regards for this weekend to you.
For ever yours Marina.
Hi my dearest Elijah!
I waited for the moment when I should receive a letter
from you again,
and this happy moment has come at last.
And now I can learn what you think of my previous
letter.
Just hurrying up with responses. Of course my parents
would miss me,
but they would bless us if they see that we love and
match each other,
and I could live anywhere with my soul- and life-mate.
Yes, I'm the only child in a family, but I'm not
spoiled much as you
can see. I have no driving license and I don't know
how to drive.
I have several close girl-friends, and we go out and
chat sometimes,
but not so often. Having grown tired after the working
week
one wants to stay and home and have some rest. The
Internet-cafe is
actually the Internet-centre where mailing and other
computer services
are executed. Yes I have my photoes scanned and
transfered to
a disquette. I cary the dics each time with me and
send them to you.
I sometimes went to a boat stations with my dad when I
was a kid.
We had wonderfull motorboat travells down Volga and
Zaprudna rivers.
Tomorrow I'll get to agency, and I shall ascertain
everything about the
visa.
I shall inform you about the results later. I hope
that I can learn the
details by myself.
I have told about us to my girl-friends.
They are very glad that I have found happiness, that I
shall leave for
America.
Certainly they will miss me as much as my parents
will.
I think that we are already so very close to each
other as a husband
and a wife,
But, unfortunately, separated with the long distance.
But despite the fact , we should continue to love each
other and to
trust each other.
Do you agree with me?
I can't help this loven, it sings inside me like a
bird in the spring
sky.
I think it's a destiny. It can be dangerous, but I'm
crazy in loving
you.
Your letters are filled with such a warmth and care
that sometimes
tears of happiness drop out
from my eyes.
I think My God, thank you for your help in granting
me my dedicated,
my sole man, and I hope that he and I shall merge and
we shall be
happy.
I dream of our meeting and of our walkings together,
plaited hand in
hand,
of our courtings each other and of our making love.
I LOVE YOU, I WANT YOU, YOU'RE IN MY HEART AND IN MY
MIND FOREVER.
I dream of your carrying me on your arms, embracing
me, kissing and
spoiling my gentle body.
I don't wish those were pure dreams, and only God
knows if they will
come true.
I hope to see your letter soon.
Your always lovely Marina.
