Letter 1 Hello XXXX, My name is Eugenia. I found your profile at Personals Yahoo and decided to respond. I live in Odessa, Ukraine, but would be willing to relocate if I find a right man to marry. I could also had a desire to visit him in his country. My Height Is 58, weight is 125 lbs. My birthday is on September 14 1982. I was never married and do not have children. In fact I live alone in a city apartment, if not to count a cat Dusya. I have my own computer at home. I teach English at school, so my English is not that bad. I like to be on nature, out of city trips or being at beach at summer. I have some friends whom I meet from time to time. I dream of visiting different countries, and see some other corners of the world. I also enjoy cooking, and sometimes I try something new, most of times I succeed, but sometimes not. :-) Well, I will not bore you with my writing, as I do not know if you are interested in a woman from another country or not, or you might already found someone and forgot to take off your ad. I will send you my photo with this letter. I will wait for your reply. Take care, Eugenia Letter 2 Hello XXXX, Im glad you responded back. And thanks for a photo! I am sending you anther photo of me with this letter. You asked me to tell you more about Odessa. Ive always lived here. Odessa is a large city and a port on the Black Sea on the South of Ukraine. Odessa occupies the territory about 160 square kilometers. The Odessa population consists of more than 100 nationalities and is about 1.2 million people. There are about 1400 streets, prospects, lanes, boulevards, squares. Odessa is the industrial, scientific and resort center of Ukraine. There are many wonderful architectural sites in the downtown. The famous Opera and Ballet Theater is one of the most beautiful in Europe. The city is very green, there are many parks, public gardens, there are many sandy beaches. But the most important is the special spiritual atmosphere created by its inhabitants. Odessians - are very cheerful, intelligent people, very friendly, with a special sense of humor. There are many Russian, Ukrainian, Jewish, Greek etc. Traditions, which form that special spirit of Odessa. Summers are usually hot and pleasant for swimming in the Sea, sunbathing and other outdoor activities. Winters are usually not very cold, but windy with an average temperature about 0*C. There are many cafes, restaurants, stores and markets in the city. Odessians and guests of Odessa usually like to walk in the central area, the most popular is Deribasovskaya, there is no traffic there. There is plenty of stores, cafes, a nice city garden where you are welcome to buy some souvenirs to remember your stay in our wonderful city. Many people say our city is smiling! My eyes are brown. As for my family, I live alone since my parents died in car accident two years ago. I dont have brothers or sisters. I havent met a right man in my life yet, but when I meet him Ill give him all my love, and will love him with all my heart. I like men older than me, yes, even 16 years older, as guys of my age in Ukraine are still children by the way of their thinking and behavior. When we write some more I will give you my phone number and address. I am an honest and quiet person. It is now almost summer, so I enjoy going to a beach. But it is cold to swim in the sea yet. In general I enjoy living life to its fullest. I graduated from a pedagogical college and I am currently working in secondary school, teaching English to children ages 8-10. They will go to summer holidays, so I will have a vacation from June 1st till September 1st. I hope to visit your country during this period. Well... I wont take up all of your time. Write me back when you get a chance. Take care! Eugenia Letter 3 Hello XXXX, I am very glad to hear from you. I greet you with the first days of summer! Im on my vacation already. I will have a vacation till September 1st as it is school summer holidays time. Hopefully we can meet sometime soon. I would miss Odessa, but my love to husband would overcome missing a place where I was born and lived the beginning of my life. And streets here remind me of my parents too much and I am sad living here. I would definitely like to be your friend if you like, for a long long time, and possibly more than that. I pledge to be totally sincere and honest with you. It is much easier to do that than it is to try and cover up something later. In relations I can offer my love, affection, friendship, total fidelity, caring, communication, honesty, openness, romance and trustworthiness. In short I truly believe I can bring into a relationship everything a man would want. I hope to hear from you very soon. Eugenia Letter 5 (invited herself for a visit, at my expense) Good afternoon, my dear, How are you today? It is an afternoon for you now. Do you have a nice mood this afternoon? As for me, Im not in a good mood, I am really tired of sitting in Odessa. sorry that I didnt write to you sooner. It is a mid of summer now, and I began to lose a hope to meet you. Please give me an answer to this question: will we meet this summer or not? I am really not into being pen-pals, I want a real meeting. Yes, I do have plans to visit you this summer, but do not have money to pay for the tickets??¦ I start to think maybe I responded to your ad in vain, if you do not have money to buy me tickets for the last week of August. Yesterday my friends Natasha and Vitalik dropped at my place and in a short while we all went out to Deribasovskaya Street. This is the main and one of the most magnificent streets of our city. We went to McDonalds and there we ran into five of my friends and co-workers in the same time. By the way, did you know that sandwich was a last name of a person who finally decided to cut roll in two pieces and put beef cutlet inside? Before that Americans had to bite rolls and then cutlet separately. After a cup of coffee we all decided that we needed some active kind of rest. A disco is the best place for it, we concluded. There is an excellent disco in Odessa that is called "Amsterdam" So we all had a splendid time there till very late in the night! And today I wasnt left alone either. In the evening Alena came to me and she invited me to go to Men In Black-II tonight. We sat to drink coffee and remembered our common acquaintances and friends. Well, I am sorry my letters is short, but I need to get ready to go to a movie hall.By the way, is "Men In Black-II" is on screens in your area from July 5th also? Please respond to my question about a meeting. If we cant meet this summer, you may not respond, I do not see the sense in these writings. I want real relations. Tender kisses to you, Your Eugenia Letter #6 (money request) Hello dear XXXX, I was glad to see you being serious about our meeting. I, of course, have no problem sending you my passport page and my address. I am 16 years old on that passport photo. But you should to sent money in the mail, you will need my address just for filling in the form at Western Union. Sending money in the mail is very unreliable. Two way tickets to you cost $780 US. If we meet you will see Im the woman that likes to experience all sorts of fun things that life has to offer. We are only here for a short time that and we need to make the most of it. You sound like a good person to spend my vacation with, I know I will overcome these 1000s miles to be with you in your country. I believe that a woman should be a friend and a monogamous lover to her man. A man should be the same to a woman. Its an outdated practice here as people tend to want convenience over a real relationship. Im still of the old school and I believe that I am to be there in every way for my man. We have hot days in Odessa now, and I get to spend much time at a beach and swim in the Black sea. Well, have a good day and I hope to email you some more soon. Eugenia
