Elena Nikolaevna Slezareva
AKA: Elena Slesareva, Natalia Jurevna Smirnova (Novorossiyk, Russia), and
Nadezdha Bobrova
Engels - Saratov, Russia
Email: galechkas@webdate.com, minniemouse@mabuta.com
Date of birth: 21-Mar-1976
Relatives/Friends: friend Victoria
Information about the relationship:
My name is xxxxx. I am a single guy, 33 years old and live in Colorado, USA. I
was first contacted by Elena Slezareva on 17-Aug-2004 through webdate.com.
She used the profile galechkas and after the initial contact she used the email
address minniemouse@mabuta.com. Interesting things mentioned in her
emails: her mother dying, her friend Victoria being in the hospital, the Moscow
Zoo coming to Saratov, and an attempted breakin of her apartment. Her last
email to me was on 01-Oct-2004. She asked for money to partially pay for an
airline ticket to Denver, CO. Thankfully, I did not send her any money because
I thought to call the airline and check for a reservation before sending any
money. The guy at the airline after confirming no reservation told me that
their office receives 7-10 calls a week regarding these scams. He told me to
search the web and I found the site http://www.womenrussia.com/. I did not find
any pictures matching the pictures I received until today under the slightly
different spelling of Elena Slesareva (see http://www.womenrussia.com/blackpage288.htm#slesareva). The letters received
by Joe from Texas were nearly identical to the letters I received and they started on the same date and mine seems to have ended after she asked me for money and I didn't send it. I reported her profile to webdate but her profile is still there. I've attached all the letters. Also, the letter in which she requested money was nearly identical to other letters I found on http://www.womenrussia.com/ under the names Natalia Jurevna Smirnova (Novorossiyk, Russia) and Nadezdha Bobrova1 and it included a scan of her visa. I sent the visa to the U.S. embassy in Moscow, Russia at consulmo@state.gov and asked if it was fake and they replied in one day saying
"Unfortunately, we need to inform you that this is not a valid visa. It is an old visa that has been altered to look valid. We express our regrets for any inconvenience that you may have been through."
I don't know if it's the same scammer or if they're just using the same letters. I've attached all the pics including the scan of her visa.

Hi xxxxx! I'm Elena from webdate.
First of all I want to apologize, that I did not answered you for
a long time. Please do not be angry with me. Unfortunately I had
no opportunity to write to you sooner. Please forgive me for a delay. I
hope you are not offended. I hope you will write me and will not hold
evil. I am very glad that you have answered my letter. Thank you that you
have found time for answer. I do not know what to write to you in my first
letter because I never wrote letters and did not get acquainted on the
Internet before. But I think will be correct if I will start to tell about
me from the very beginning because I was first, who has written first
letter. I really do not know as far as my life is interesting to you, but
I think, if something will be not interestingly for you, you will tell me
about it. Probably I should begin my letter with the most important thing
as I have not told to you about it in my first message to you. Probably
you will be very much afflicted when you find out that I live not in your
state(country). But I very much hope that it does not frighten you, because
I the same lady like many other ladies living in the different countries.
I the same person with heart and soul. And if your interest is not limited by
distance or borders, I really will be very glad. My country is Russia. Our
country is located on continent named Eurasia. Russia is very big state(country)
and occupies very big area. Capital of Russia is Moscow. I was born and I live
now in village(little town) Engels. In Russia the village is a small settlement
in which just a few thousand, or a few hundreds inhabitants. My village is
village of town type. We have the same houses as in large Russian cities.
But in comparison with the big cities, our village is considered as very
small village of course. Probably if you want to have the best
representation about where I live, I should tell to you that my village is
located close to the big city named Saratov. It's our regional center.
Very big city. Saratov is located on distance of
850 kilometers from Moscow. In the childhood I dreamed to be
a ballerina or figure skater. But at conscious age my interests have
changed. When I has appeared before a choice - where to receive higher
education, I have understood that I want to be a economist(bookkeeper).
I always showed big interest to knowledge of this area. On this, at that time
I already knew absolutely exact that I will be bookkeeper, and I do not regret
about my choice. My education consist of three steps. School - College -
University. I began to get education in the comprehensive school. After
I finished it I entered the college. I finished it with excellent
results and entered the University. At this time I work in small building
company. I work as a bookkeeper. Very interesting work though many
my girlfriends disagree with me. I already spoke you that my name is
Elena. But in Russia actually each name has some forms, for example
such as - the reduced form or the diminutive-caressing form or pet name.
On this also my names is - Lena. Rafe I promised
to share with you my picture, I fulfil my promise with worry and with
pleasure. In addition to a picture I want to tell that I am blonde. My
height is 5 feet 6 inches. My weight is 115 pounds. And of course you
should know that I am 28 years old. My birthday - on March, 21, 1976
I understand that all people have various tastes and interests,
but I sincerely hope that my picture and my appearance will
be pleasant for you. But if my appearance doesn't conform to your tastes
and interests, I will understand you, of course. I the optimist at heart
and it's frequently helps me in my life. I already adult woman, and I look
at a life with a philosophical shade. But as though I did not try to
inspire myself that I absolutely happy woman, I cannot do it. I have good
friends, I have work and an apartment. But there are things without
which people cannot be happy. And for me it's not material things, but
spiritual. I have written to you the first and it means that I am ready to
share with you my thoughts. I am very glad and grateful to you for that
that you have answered me because I have decided to take only one chance
in dialogue through e-mail. And if my letter to you would remain without
your answer, I think I would not use this way second time. Anyhow, I hope
that you, as well as I, have interest in our dialogue, and I will wait
your answer. In the end of my letter I want to ask you the most banal
questions. I want to ask you what music you like, what movies you prefer
and have-whether favourite movie. These questions are really interesting
for me because I like American movies and American music very much. I with
pleasure will tell to you about it in my next letter if you really want to
learn more about me. Do you like your job, xxxxxx? Have you ever had
experience in correspondence with a friend from other country? Maybe you
more skilled in this plan than I'm? I thank you for your answers
beforehand. If you do not want to answer these questions, please do not
answer. It simply my female curiosity.
I am sorry once again that I did not answer your letter for a long
time. Forgive me, but I had no opportunity to take advantage of a
computer. I will explain to you later - why. With the best regards.
Elena.
P.S I have chestnut hair in a picture. I have changed color of hair recently. Actually I the blonde.
I change color of hair sometimes.

Hi xxxxxx! I'm Elena from webdate.
I have sent you the letter. But has not received the answer.
Probably it has not reached you.
Write to me. I shall wait the answer.
Elena

Date: 8/30/2004 10:44:59 AM
Hi xxxxxx! This is again Elena!
How your day was? I hope you are glad to receive my letter because when I
have received your letter I really was delighted. Many thanks.
I hadn't time to tell about it in my last letter. I write to you letters
on my job because I have no a personal computer. The computer is in an
accounting department. Lady who works with a computer will sometimes allow
me to use a computer in my interests, but only when this lady has a free
time. It depends not on me unfortunately. I work five days in a week -
from Monday till Friday. It is the standard established in Russia.
Therefore I will be not capable to write to you and to receive your
letters on Saturday and on Sunday. But sometimes I work on Saturday and
even on Sunday. It is called maintenance standby. On this maybe
I will can write to you letters even on Saturday or on Sunday. Maybe.
Do you want to know how I will write to you my letters? I write to
you letters during all my working day by small parts - in those short time
intervals when the computer will not be occupied. And something else. I have
been warned that our computer has dependent system of sending of mail. My
letters will be sent only after service mail which is sent two times in
day - at midday and after finish of the working day. Probable, my letter
will be sent automatically after finish of the working day. Working day in
our company comes to an end at 22.00, but my working day comes to an
end at 17.00. Oh! I promised you to tell what music I like.
Now I have some free minutes and with pleasure will spend this time to
tell to you about my interests. I like various music. All depends on mood.
I like to listen classical music. I like Dunaevski And Chajkovsky. I like
to listen simply instrumental music. Such music allows to relax and have a
rest. With such music I like to reflect. I like to listen to guitar
masterpieces of Joe Satriani. I very much like group Dire Straits. I like
Pink Floyd. They are not similar to anybody. It is great group. I like
Madonna, Robbie Williams and George Michael and many others. In America
many great musicians. I like many Russian musicians. For example Philip
Kirkorov, Valeria or groups: Chaif, Splin. But you probably do not know
them. I very much like cinema. In Russia create few good movies. I like
works of such directors as Tarkovsky, Konchalovsky, Mikhalkov. My
favourite movies - Siberian Barber and Tired by the Sun. It's masterpieces
of the Russian cinema. The American movies in Russia use huge popularity.
The American movies is considered the greatest. I very much like the
American movies and I like many American actors. I like movies such as
The Sixth Sense, the Rainman, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Gone
with the Wind, Magnificent Seven, the Godfather, Groundhog day, The
Scent of a Woman. My favourite actors are Russel Crow, Mel Gibson
Bruce Willis, Al Pacino, Kevin Costner, Samuel L. Jackson, Julia
Roberts, Tom Hanks, Demi Moore, Kevin Spacey. My hobby is the English
language(if it's possible to tell so). I have loved English long ago, when
I studied at school. In Russia the program of training necessarily includes
foreign language, as a rule - English, German or French. I have entered in
group of the English language and I am happy that I made it. I very much
like your language. After school, I continued studying of English language
at the university. I like this language. It is a very soft and
easily-memorized language. I learn the English language easily. At present
I attend courses of the English language. I study your language within 17
years. I want to know this language perfectly. I know that now I admit
mistakes, but I hope you won't angry.
What else to tell about me? I never was married and I haven't
children. I am lonely and the reason of my loneliness not only in me.
However, I do not know if it interestingly for you. I live honestly, and
it brings pleasure to me. I am optimist and I like to smile, because a
smile - mirror of soul. For happiness is not required many things.
Likely the main thing that does not suffice me now is love. People without
love cannot be happy. But when near there is a close person whom you love,
life becomes fine irrespective of where you live and what you have. But
the loneliness fills a life with sadness. But I do not want to speak about
sadness anymore. I am glad that I have an opportunity to write to you and
I am glad that you write to me. And at present it really causes a smile on
my face. Do you have the big family? I should finish my letter.
Thank you for a beautiful picture. I loved it.
I hope to receive your letter soon. Sincerely and with the best regards.
This picture is made in the winter near my house.

Hi xxxxx!
I am frankly glad that again I have a possibility to write you.
Today I saw my mother in my dream and thought that I have to tell you
about my mother, because when I say about her - I tell about my family.
It is really so because I have never seen my grandfather and
grandmother and I don't have brothers or sisters. I was the only one
child in the family, and my family consisted of two people - my mother
and I. I really feel great proud when I say about my mother because she
was a very good woman. But together with this, every time the
recollections about my mother cause tears and I can't keep them. My
mother died when I was 16 years old. Three years before her death my
mom has damage in road accident. She was standing in the street and she
was knocked down by a car. Probably the driver was strongly drunk,
because the witnesses said that the car moved by zigzag and suddenly
appeared on pavement. As a result of collision my mum was paralysed.
She spent three years in the wheelchair. I looked after her did all
that was in my forces to make a life for which she was fated since this
moment - easy and joyful. I spent little time with my friends and
practically all my free time I spent near my mother. I was crazy happy
when mother smiled, because she smiled very seldom. She was ashamed of
her helplessness. Every time when I was going home after school I
looked at the window and every time my mother met me. She was looking
through the window and smiled. It happens always. She met me every day
and never forgot. That's why I felt alarm at once when 9 years ago I
looked at the window and didn't see my mother there. I understood that
something is wrong. I rushed home with tears in my eyes. When I oped
the door I understood that I stayed alone. As usual my mother was
sitting in her chair. But she was dead. I remember how I stretched my
arm and touched her pulse. It got dark in my eyes and my feet didn't
obey me. I couldn't stand. I thought I would go mad. I have felt that I
lose consciousness and lain on the floor. I sobbed and couldn't quiet
down. I couldn't imagine that I will live without mom. This was the
person I lived for. All I did in my live I did for her. She was such a
good mother. She taught me everything I can do in this life. My mother
dreamt to bring me up as an honest and decent lady. I was the only
child and mother gave me endless love. And I tried to do all to be
worthy daughter, to be worthy her love. And I hope that I became such a
lady as my mother wanted to see me. Now I appreciate the difficulties
of that time in a different way. Difficulties train the character. I
lived without help and support, I went through different difficulties
about which I don't want to speak. But I have gone through these
difficulties and remember this I feel that everything I have done
correctly. My mother always told me that one should look at
difficulties with smile not mentioning that there is a shout of despair
in the throat and there are tears in eyes. One should be strong and
proud - as my mother was.
Forgive me that I have told you about this so in detail. But I say
about my mother seldom. But when I say about her I can't do it in
couple words. I loved her very much and that's why I told you little
things about her. Forgive me. I decided to share my recollections with
you as with a friend, because I didn't speak about her with anybody for
a long time. Forgive me that my letter is a sad, big and uninteresting.
Simply when I begin to say about my mother I can't stop. But I promise
not to write such sad letters anymore.
I have to finish. Sincerely with best regards.
Elena.

Hi, xxxxx (English)
Privet, xxxxx (Russian)
Today I had so much work that I was afraid that I wouldn't have time
to get your letter. And I have to say that this frightened me. But now
I have found free time and very glad. Thank you for your kind letter.
My last letter was sad. That's why today I will try not to write about
sad things. Then now I am smiling and have a good mood. As a matter of
fact today all the colleagues have a good mood because today we found
out that On Wednesday The Moscow Zoo would come to Saratov for
touring. This is a great news because The Moscow Zoo Is the biggest zoo
in the country. So everybody discuss only this news. Everybody wants to
visit the ZOO because the tour will last only for several days. I like
animals very much and I have never seen Moscow Zoo. I like horses very
much and think that these are the most beautiful animals in the planet.
As matter of fact I have always dreamt to have some pets - a cat or a
dog. But when I think that a little puppy will wait for me at home
alone I feel pity. That's why I don't have pets. I always wait for
weekends with impatience, because I get tired mentally and physically
at the work. That's why weekends are the only possibility for me to
rest and to get new forces. Weekends I spend differently. Sometimes I
want simply to rest in my apartment. I like my apartment - little and
cosy. On weekends I always clean the apartment properly. I like purity.
And though I always try to keep my apartment clean, there is always
something to do about the house on weekends. But when I want really to
relax I listen to music or read books. I like to read books especially
historical novels about ancient Russia or other countries. I like to
spend time in nature in the open air very much. The camping is very
popular in Russia. I adore to go to the forest and to live in a tent
though now I have seldom such an opportunity. I like to look at night
fire. I like to look at the stars very much. In August the sky is
strewed with stars. It is incredible beautiful. I like to cook on the
fire. There is no more wonderful when in the air the fragrances of
forest, river and smoke mix together. I am romantic undoubtedly. I
really like cooking. I know that I do it well, because I started
cooking from childhood. My mother taught me many things including
cooking. She said: "Lady who can cook well don't have disadvantages and
demerits, because tasty food is a way to the man's heart. May be she is
right. I like Russian dishes and my favourite dish is hodgepodge ( in
Russian we call it okroshka). I am not sure if you know such dish. This
is a Russian national dish.
What dishes do you prefer xxxxx?
I have to finish. I hope my letter was not stodgy and uninteresting. I will wait
for your letter with impatience. I wish you peace and kindness.
Elena.
P.S This picture was made by my girlfriend Victoria. She the Photographer.

Date: 9/8/2004 12:30:04 PM
Hi, my dear friend xxxxx! I hope you not against if I say so.
Thank you for your letter. From day to day I feel more necessity to
get your letter. My mood has become better again when I have got your
letter.
By the way, when I came to work today my mood was bad, because my
girl-friend fell ill and now she is in the hospital. The saddest thing
is that she has birthday today. She is 26 years old today.
Unfortunately she will spend her birthday in the hospital. But have
already talked with the doctor and I will be allowed to spend the
evening in the her chamber. In the evening I will bake a cake, buy
balloons and go to the hospital. I want very much that she have good
mood on her birthday. This my best friend.I have only one real
girlfriend - Victoria. Victoria is that lady who is in the hospital. We
are friends for 20 years already. Victoria and I are like
sisters.Victoria and I like to walk. Usually we walk in the park. But
also we like to spend time in Victoria vegetable garden. She lives in
an old wooden house. I don't know if you have seen such houses. This
are the houses which were built before the second world war, in the
fortieth years. These are very old houses which don't have bath and
running water. So people have to take water outside in the well or in a
pit. In modern world such conditions seem very terrible, but this is
really so. We like to spend time in Victoria vegetable garden. There
she grows potato, tomatos and cucumbers not to buy them in the market,
because in winter the prices of these products rise very high. Every
winter Victoria and I make a big Snowman by big snow balls. We make a
carrot instead of nose and potatos instead of eyes. It is very funny.
All neighbor's children come to see it. First time we made such a
Snowman 16 years ago. Since that time we do every year. This is a
tradition for us. We pour it with water to cover with ice. So it stands
for the whole winter.
I like Engels. Many people in our village know each
other. We have little buildings - maximum 4 floors. Victoria says that
she wants to live in a big city. I don't know where it is better. Big
city is a big traffic, fast rhythm of life, garlands of fires,
lightning shop windows, high buildings, fountains, cinemas, parks,
attractions, theatres. It is wonderful, of course I like it. But our
village is a fresh air, a lot of trees and birds, silent and comfort no
hubris and vanity inherent for big cities. We have a lot of small and
large lakes and rivers. The places are very beautiful. If there were no
criminal the place could be considered as a paradise. But alas, the
criminal in small cities, as well as in the big cities is an integral
part our life. Unfortunately criminal in Russia is situated on a very
high level. But I don't want to tell about sad things.
Did I tell you that I can play guitar? I like to play guitar and to
sing songs. One famous musician said that a woman with a guitar looks
as absurdly as a woman with a paddle. But I don't agree with him.
Several times Victoria and I went to the festival of bard song. This is
a place on the coast of the river where a lot of people come from all
the country. At night the coast is covered by thousand lights from
fires. Huge raft having the form of a guitar is established right on
water and everybody who desires sing songs together with famous bard
singers. This is a unique festival.
I have to finish my letter. I don't want but I have to. Today when I
will come to Victoria to hospital, we will speak about you. She likes
to ask about you and I like to tell her. I wanted to ask you what makes
you happy xxxxxx? In a picture I and my girlfriend Victoria.
Sincerely yours and with best wishes.
Elena.
Hi xxxxxx!
The day is wonderful today and the weather is good. The sun is shining
all the day. To add to all this I have got your letter and my happiness
doesn't have limits. And what about your weather? May be today after work
I will go home by foot. I like to walk along the street and to breath
fresh air, especially when the weather is warm. As a matter of fact I
don't want to go home. It is very boring and lonely at home. Sometimes I
don't mention it, but sometimes when I come home with good mood, I want to
talk very much, to share thoughts with anybody, to have fun. But my
apartment is empty and I have to be in full solitude. And my good mood
disappears. I simply sit down in an arm-chair and look at the window. And
when the silence deafen me when I hear as My blood flows in my veins, I hear
movement of my eyelashes, at that moment becomes unbearably and my heart
compresses. I don't know how to struggle with it. I can listen to music or
read a book. But in some moment I understand that I just deceive myself.
In fact I want a beloved person to be near me, with whom I could spend
evenings, to meet morning, to speak about yesterday and to dream about
tomorrow day. I want to walk and to feel a strong man arm holds me. I
don't want to cook meals only for myself. I want somebody to appreciate
it. But enough about it.
Victoria has received a pneumonia
You say I did not answer some your questions. Forgive me if it so,
but I always try to answer all your questions. Maybe I wanted to answer,
but have overlooked, because I write letters during all day by small parts
when I receive free minute. Maybe on this I overlook to answer some your
questions, especially when I start to tell about myself. But I always try
to answer your questions. Probably I send some my letters to you before I
will receive your next letter with questions. We outstrip you in time. As
a rule I receive your letters in the morning. If you have sent your letter
and it has come in the afternoon or in the evening on our time, I can
receive this letter only in next day. Maybe I choose manner not so accessible
to you, maybe my words are ambiguous, but anyhow I never leave your
questions without comments.
I often remember childhood. I always dreamed to become a grown
up as soon as possible. As every child I completely believed that grownups
don't have problems at all. I dreamt in the childhood and I dream now. Of
course, the world of dreams is an illusive world. We live in a real life,
so we can't to sink into the world of dreams and phantasies for long. When
a dream becomes obsession, it can bring only pain and disappointment.
Practically dreams do not always realize. It happens that you use all
power, all aspiration to make the dream come true. But as much you try,
not all in this life depend on us. When the dream for a long time does not
come true, as though you did not try, dream ceases to be that star, which
was for you lighthouse in ocean of the life, which illuminated your way.
But anyway, I think that it is impossible to live without dreames and
hopes. When there is a dream, the life is filled with sense. The dreams
are those things that do us people that distinguishes us from the whole
rest alive world. The dreams contribute variety in ordinary and grey life.
The dreams force to think, analyse, choose and come to a conclusion. The
Faith and Hope - an eternal satellites of our lifes. And regardless of
what waits you at the end, joy of the victories and subordinated tops we
remember better, than disappointment and pain of the defeats. You agree
with me?I am surprised that I write you all this. I have never had a
person, with whom I could share my thoughts. But now I have found you, and
I am very glad. Forgive me for my frankness. If I said something
superfluous forgive me please. Do you like when your friends come to your
home? I will wait for your letter
with impatience.
Elena.

whatyou think. Thanks for your letter. You have written to me
and it meansthat one more day I will be lived with good mood.
I want to describe to you my day completely, since morning and
tillthe night. At 6:30 rattle my alarm clock. I do not love my
alarm clock. Becauseit so loudly rattle, that each time I jump as
scalded. I rise with good mood because in dream I saw you. At
6:35 I go to a bathroom And I THINK OF YOU! I wash and I clean a teeth.
At 6:45 I dress my sports suit, I go on street And I THINK OF YOU!
I jog. I run in the mornings always when it is not cold to
support myself in the good form. When in the street coldly, I sleep till
7:00.At 7:20 I cook a breakfast, as a rule strong tea or coffee
and a sandwich. I drink tea and I THINK OF YOU!
At 7:30 I go to work. Usually, if weather good, I go on foot And I
THINK OF YOU! I like to go on foot since morning. Air clean and fresh. To
job I come vigorous and cheerful.
At 7:55 I go to a cabinet where works my girlfriend . As a rule she
already on work at this time. If there is an opportunity I receive your
letter. If the opportunity is not present I receive it later.
At 8:00 I start to work And I THINK OF YOU!
At 10:00 I go on street and I THINK OF YOU! I breathe fresh air of 10
minutes and come back to work.
At 12:30 a dining break. I go home for a dinner And I THINK OF YOU! I
reach up to a house by a bus.
At 13:00 I eat and at 13:10 I go again for work And I THINK OF YOU!
I go by a bus but I abandon a bus earlier, than it is
necessary, to again take a walk on fresh air And TO THINK OF YOU!
At 13:30 I again work And I THINK OF YOU! (though in my work is
impossible be distracted and think about something another except for
work)(smile)
At 15:30 we with my employees do a small break and we drink tea for
have a rest. I was not capable to drink tea because I THINK OF YOU! During
the working day when there is an opportunity I answer your letter.
At 17:00 I go home. I go on foot, slowly. I feel itself perfectly
because I THINK OF YOU!
At 17:40 I take a shower and I imagine that YOU WITH ME! (Smile)
At 18:00 I have supper, alone, but I smile, because I imagine that YOU
SIT OPPOSITE TO ME!
At 19:00 I go for walk (but it happens seldom).I THINK OF YOU!
If I do not go for walk, I listen to music, I read the book, I watch TV, I knit, I make
various homework And I THINK OF YOU! (of course not all simultaneously)(smile).
At 23:00 I lie down to sleep. Usually I fall asleep very quickly because I
THINK OF YOU!
Only do not think that all my days pass so. It is an approximate
variant. Every day passes on miscellaneous.
But is that peculiar to each my day: IT'S MY THOUGHTS OF YOU!!!
Your and only your Elena

Hi my dear xxxxx!
Today fine day. But only for one reason - I have received your letter.
And all the rest become unimportant for me. Today I really have no
opportunity to write much. Please forgive me. But I have enough time to
tell to you that I thought of you and waited when the opportunity to write
to you will appear. But I have time to tell the main thing. I do not know
why, but today I have woken up earlier than usually. I could not fall
asleep again. In the street already was sunlight. I sat near a window and
began to look at street. Unexpectedly the small birdie sat down on a
window and began to sing. She so beautifully sang. She looked at me and
sang. The birdie at all was not afraid of me. I looked at this birdie and
thought that you now somewhere there, far. I have thought that maybe you
sleep and see me in your dream. And I have thought, if I was a birdie, I
too would sit down to you on a window and began to sing my song. I have
told to a birdie: " Fly off, my small birdie, and sing this song to my far
but close friend xxxxx. Tell him that I think of him". And in this
moment the birdie flinch and fly off , as though she has heard my
words.
And I have thought, maybe this birdie really will fly to you and will
sing her beautiful song. So if you xxxxx will see near to yourself a
small birdie which beautifully sings, know that I have sent this song to
you.
Forgive, but I should go.
I want to send you my kiss if you do not object.
Your Elena.

Hi my xxxxx!
Thanks for your letter. My heart calms down when I receive your letter.
My pictures are done by my girlfriend Victoria. I seriously want to visit you.
Today I speculate about you and about me. It so is surprising. As a
matter of fact we live on the different sides of our planet, but we so are
similar. I never was even outside of my country. To travel outside the
seas and oceans for me in general outside a reality. I cannot imagine it
as though I not tried. And always, as likely many people Never seeing
anything except for native house, I console myself by thought, that you
have the same blue sky and the same life. Maybe life behind ocean
is more cheerful and rich, paints are brighter and the summer is warmer.
But also as here, people cry when they feel a pain, people suffer when
lose close people, women in torments give birth to children. It is
identical everywhere. You and I have the same cares and problems. Every
day I try to imagine that occurs in your heart, do you worry or not, do you
think of me or not, do you imagine us or not. I look in a window, there,
where the sky and the ground merge in a single whole. I try to be lost in
this imagined world, I try to weaken my sight, that all what I see became
indistinct, dim. And then your image has emerged before my eyes. And I
already see how you go along the street though I absolutely have no idea
what your street look like. But I see you, I see as you smile, as at
cinema in the slowed down action you come nearer to me, and your image
becomes more and more precise. You speak something but I do not hear you.
But I read on your lips, and my heart with fatal delight understands what
you speak me. And these your words burn me from within. During the some
moment I so sink in this world of illusions that I cease to understand
where a reality. But the next second all breaks off and again before my
eyes the grey sky, the white ground and people which at all do not suspect
what occurs in my heart.
Write what airport near to you.
Your Elena.

Hi my love xxxx!
My working day has comes to an end and I am writing you now. My mood is very
good. Soon we will be together. Tell me that this is true.
Now I have the most intense days in my life.
I shall make the visa for the sake of you. It will be my gift for you Rafe.. Ok?
As a rule from 10 applicants only by one received the visa. I have paid big enough
sum of money to not stand in long queue and to not wait for consideration during several
months. I never thought that the commission will ask such unusual
questions. Me asked about my sexual life, me asked about children, about
work, about patriotism, about the attitude to America, about my
conversance and awareness of events which happened in the world and in
America, about my religion and belief. I have told about all my life in
detail. I spoke about everything fairly as is really. To me have told that
my answers are unexpected and as a rule applicants do not answer so
directly and openly such questions. They have not got used to hear such
answers, but they have told what to hear fair and truthful answers it is
much more pleasant than word which come not from heart and reason.
I have given characteristics from work.
I have told the commissions directly and openly, that I dreamed to see your country, but I
am sure that everything dream of it, even those who speaks that does not
dream. They have been surprised, because nobody spoke so openly. I have shown them all my
documents testifying that I all my life lived without the father and mothers.
What bad in that that I once will visit other country, once to receive really big pleasure in a life?
They did not expect that I will tell such words. But I really spoke in all sincerity.
I simply wanted that they have understood what in my heart. And as you can
believe I could convince them.What my intentions? I simply want to meet you,
It does not oblige to something. It only will help us to learn more
each other. I simply want to spend my vacation with you, and for some
happy days with you I am ready to give much. But the meeting cannot spoil
our relations. On the contrary. I want to be your visitor some happy days.
I think that you also will be happy as I. All people meet. But there
is no such law what to meet is possible only after you know about the
person all. On the contrary, as far as it is interesting to learn about
the each other being face to face. It is much more essential than letters.
You will see my eyes, I will see yours. You will touch my hand, I will
touch yours. We will talk and laugh, whisper each other on an ear pleasant
words, we will tell about thoughts and feelings, we will dream together
and enjoy joint pastime. It so miraculous. It is such big chance to learn
more about the each other. It simply a meeting of two very much close
friends but as far as pleasant and long-awaited this meeting, you only
think. Now I wait for the messenger and it a to me will tell, that my visa is ready.
I think that you are a honest, understanding and kind person.
From my life I have understood, understanding and respect the most
important in Relations between the man and the woman. It so is important
for understanding and respecting not only The opinion, and even opinion
of other person. I studied psychology, and the main mistake Married couples
is that everyone proves the correctness and does not want to recede from
The opinion. Each person can be mistaken. In most cases because of
Such trifles there are quarrels and scandals. In fact it is much more
convenient to discuss a problem in To quiet conditions and together to
find the best exit. We in Russia have saying One head well, and two is
better (smile). I am right?
Still I very much appreciate a true friendship. When I shall come you
should acquaint me with yours Friends. I do not want to stand across you
and your friends. The man should have The right to communicate only the
man's company, without women. But not all time (smile).
Friends should so to meet, drink in a bar beer and messages man's conversations.
I will love you in the future and I love you now. I am waiting for the
moment of our meeting very much. It so excites me. Yesterday when I went to bed
I was thinking about you so much that I felt a little trembling in my body.
I don't know why it happened to me but anyway it is something good.
I am finishing writing. I am thinking of you and writing you these
words. These words are coming from my heart. My heart is beating faster
now because of you. I reread all your letters and love you more and
more. I love you very much, I need you very much and I hope that our
meeting will be very very soon. I will write you later. I am still
waiting for you letters!!!
I hope very much that our love is forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The love of Elena and Rafe is eternal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With all my love,
Hot and passionate kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss for you.
Elena!

Hi my prince from a fairy tale! Hi my king from a real life!
Hi my xxxxx!
I now always cheerful because I think of you. The thought about you warm me.
Leaving past sorrows behind, we will awaken in our dream together. A new beginning, a
new world, with limitless possibilities. All things we thought were valuable are
meaningless now. For in our love, we have found the treasures of the heart and soul.
Our ways and means that had guided us well, no longer serve two hearts that are now
one. We will be as innocent children, needing to taste, touch, and smell all these new
things. And as adolescents, we shall taste the fruits of the flesh as if for the first
time, like Adam and Eve once felt in the Garden of Eden. It will be a paradise we have
never known before. With gentle caress', and kissing of lips, our passions will grow.
Our hearts will beat faster, and the heat of our bodies will cause sweat to flow. And
when time stands still, we will unite mind, body, and soul. In the darkness, calm and
still, we will hold each other tight, and our hearts will beat as one. It is then we
will truly know, that we have finally found each other, and our love will forever grow.
I should tell to you what happened today at night. Today there was an
awful night. At night when I already slept, I have heard some squeak.
Someone tried to open my door. I have heard that someone tries to open the
lock in my door. I very much was frightened. I did not know what to do. I
have risen, but could not pronounce any word. I very much was frightened
and afraid to approach to a door. Legs did not obey me. Me as though has
paralysed. Then this sound has disappeared, but the one who was behind a
door apparently began to try to break a door. The tree crackled and
crunched. I have begun to cry and did not know what to do. I always
counted myself courageous, but during that moment I have become puzzled.
The door already has almost opened, because the door-jamb has already
broken. But then suddenly all has stopped. Probably he was frightened off
by someone. I sat on a bed and have been very much frightened. I have
included light. I knew that if someone will want to penetrate into my
apartment, I cannot call somebody to the aid at all because I at all have
no phone. A door in my apartment very old and not strong.
In our city very much frequently plunder apartments. And not only when
owners are not present a house but also when an at home somebody is. It is
enough to open a door. Plunder in masks. It do the young guys, which 16 - 18
years old. A bulk from them - addicts. They at all do not choose is it rich
apartment or not. Take away everything, that it is possible to
sell. Even old things. They have special metal mounts which insert between
a door and a jamb and break a door. By radio constantly warn, that people
did not open a door not to familiar people.
I very much was frightened. My heart beat with mad speed. You do not
represent, as it is terrible to live, when anybody beside is not present
and nobody can protect. I have felt completely defenceless. I thought of
you. Thought, that you now there, far, and at all do not know, how to me
it is terrible now. I lain in a bed with included light and thought of
you. I could not fall asleep more this night. It was bad night.
But now everything is all right.
Tomorrow I shall make the order for an iron door.
I shall finish my letter. I need you and I dream to be with you xxxxx.
I send you all my tenderness and love.
Kiss you 1000 times.
Your Elena.

Today's my letter contains two news. The first news: My visa at last
is ready, and I send you its scan. When I've got my visa, they have
told me, that I am very lucky woman and that it is very big success,
that I got my visa so quickly. Also they have told that I'm very
successful and lucky lady. I was so glad. But now I have no any
pleasure. Only tears. Why? One moment, I will explain to you below. And
the second news: My visas firm can reserve tickets, and I used its
services again. I asked them how I can reach Denver and how much it
costs. They have answered me, that the ticket costs $892 USD. I asked
them to find cheaper tickets, because this price is expensive for me.
They answered that they had a cheaper ticket but the beginning of the
flight is 7-Oct. It costs $780 I asked them to reserve a ticket. But
they refused. I tried to convince them, but they did not agree. Then I
wondered if it is possible to pay a part of the money now and the other
part later. They have not agreed again. I spoke with them for a long
time and I managed to persuade them. They agreed. We agreed that
I would pay a part of the price today and the other part later. I have
been compelled to pawn my jewelry which I have from Mom. I have pawned
it in a pawnshop for 120 USD. It has sufficed for an initial payment.
I paid $400 USD. It was my last money. The number of the flight on
which I reserved the ticket is:
3:35 pm Depart Moscow (SVO) Aeroflot-Russian International Airlines 315
Arrive Denver (DEN) 10:19 pm Delta 1165
It is very difficult for me to tell you about it. But I have done
everything I could. I have paid for my visa. I have bought the ticket
on a train up to Moscow. I paid a part of the ticket. But this money is
not enough. I didn't want to burden you. I wanted to reach you with my
own money but unfortunately I failed. Now I have to pay the remaining
part. It is only $380 USD. I have to pay this money before Friday
morning. Otherwise I will lose my money. If you love me, if you trust
me and if you want to see me soon, please, send the money for the
ticket before Friday morning. I understand that it is a difficult
decision for you, but we must trust each other. Any union without trust
is impossible if it is a union of wife and husband or union of
boy-friend and girl-friend or union of business partners. I don't want
to be hypocritical. That's why I want to tell you following: I do not
think that you would like to give the love to the woman whom you won't
trust. Also I would not like to give my love to the man which I won't
trust. This is a first test for us. And much depends upon it, may be
everything. We must trust each other. That's why I was the first who
have made the first step. Step to you. Certainly, if you do not want,
then you may not help me. It is bad but not fatal. I will lose my
money. It is bad too, but not fatal too. I speak so because I am in
despair and confusion. Now, when we are divided only with one step, I
am afraid. I am afraid that you will not help, and all my diligence
will be gone. I love you and I want to be with you and the word of
honour, your help is necessary for me. I have not calculated my forces.
But together we are much stronger. To pass through difficulties and
barrier it is together much easier. I want to present you all my
infinite love and fidelity. I did not want to ask you to help. I
thought that I can make all myself. The loneliness has made me strong.
I have got used to live without the help, and to rely only on myself. I
very seldom address to somebody for the help, but now I ask you to help
me. I have made a step forward. Please make a step towards me. I hope
that I have not offended you. I love you and I trust. I know that you
will not throw me now when there was only one step. Tell me Rafe, can
you help me? If you have an opportunity you may help me. I wondered how
it is possible to do. There is an International Company, which deals
with money transfers. Its name a westernunion (by the way, they have a
website www.westernunion.com). It has Offices in many cities and
countries. There is an Office in my city. If you want and if you can
help me, you may send me money using westernunion according following data:
Russia SARATOV, 410600
GAZPROMBANK
GORKOGO, 41
For Elena Slezareva
To get the money, I should tell the employee of
bank your fullname, your address, exact amount and some
confidential numbers (Money Transfer Control Number), which
will be given to you, when you will send the money. I love you
very much! I thought  about you
xxxxx every time. I never cease to think about you!
Your Elena

I have not received from you the letter. I wrote to you about the
ticket you have received it.
