"Natalya left for Kiev to meet you." But she did not show up on the day. It was on the afternoon of my second day in Kiev when I finally understood that it was a scam. I kept on calling her mother persistently to ask her on what day and at what time Natalya had left Karkov for Kiev. But my phone was never answered. It was too obvious that Natalya controlled her mother to let the mother take a part in this scheme. Though I was a fool who did not have enough sense to have detected that Natalya was a scammer, there were two

that she had no intention to come to meet me at all. In the following, I attach some e-mails from her including the initial letter and the letter with money request. Maybe this "Alliance Agency" that she has specified is involved in the trick too. (The reason for me to say this is that the writer of these e-mails from Natalya seems too experienced to write romantic letters in stead of Natalia herself.) As the readers find these e-mails, they will see that these e-mails were characterized by so much romanticism. Let us be careful that letters with such unusual romanticism is a sign of scammer though now it is too late for me to know it. Now I think a woman who has real intention for marriage is more down to earth. To me, $320 and my traveling cost to Kiev are too enormous to forget. But in addition to the financial damage, the mental damage I incurred by this scam is not easy to erase from my mind. I sent this report to A Pretty Woman hoping that they would at least delete her from the database to prevent her future victims.
--------------------

one's future. We all know our past,present, but the future is hidden from us by time. To know it we just live drawing it near by living. When I was 13, I decided that I am not attractive and that's why none will ever love me. I was not a self- confident girl and I nervous because of it. And at one day I made a decision to change the order of events. I drew, read, sang in a chorus, every day I repeated: "My life, my destiny, my future are in my hands". And the same thing I tell myself now. I know that for many people their transitional age is difficult. What of you? Have you had such problems? Surrounding people make us to believe in yourself or to loose this belief. I think that you heard what happened in Moscow during the football game Russia-Japan. When I turned on TV and saw what was happening there, I was so much shocked. I was impressed by aggression of those fans. I will tell you frankly, I wouldn't want to be there at that time. It's a pity that you pertained without attention to the wish of my mother.
Hope to hear from you soon. Natalia.

and also love and devotion of a faithful wife. I ask you questions, because I want to know what is inside. How do you imagine our meeting? What will you tell me? What is the part of the woman in your family. I am lonely now and my heart is free for new feelings. I want to give the best to my family. I like to explore something new, I hope, so you do. Life is like a lottery. We don't know what is going to be in an hour. I am glad that everything is ready for your trip. It seems to me that you have serious intentions. I appreciate this quality in you. I talk about you with my mother and we decided, that she must also meet with you when you will come to Kiev so that we could have everything seriously from the very beginning. If my mother will approve my choice then it will be the first stage of our common life. Do you want her to come with me? Hope to hear from you soon.
Natalia.

nature. I think that love is a magic feeling, it spurs us on incredible actions. And I think that the sense of life is in love and in family Your thoughts about a trip to Ukraine are wonderful. I am looking forward to this moment because we will be able to see each other and feel that excitement of our hearts. I think that when we will meet each other we won't have a problem with the idea where to go, because we will keep each other hands. And it will have to be nice yet at that wonderful spring day. Of course,we will visit all interesting places in Kiev. I can't use services of Kiev agency to pay my expenses for the trip. Besides money, I should have some cash and my mother has to be sure that I am all right. And there is no sense to have a return ticket as I don't know how many days I will spend with you, and I should have money for my way back home. I'm looking forward to your next letter.

for taxi and foods. I don't know, but Ithink that 200 USD would cover everything. I don't want to go by train as it will take 12 hours and by plane it will take only one hour. I want to share with you what occurred me recently. Having an experience behind our shoulders we formed our own opinion about our life and we have own life-styles. But loneliness reminds about itself. Nor friends, neither hobby can't intend for this feeling in full force. World around us is so wonderful! The life passes by if there is no loved person aside you. I will be glad if our correspondence will put good beginning to sincere relations. I am not looking for wealthy, but I am seeking for wealth soul, because real value is a human soul, open to kindness, aspired to live in harmony and love with surrounding people and nature. These values are precious. Some people cannot understand it and appreciate. To find your half is not easy. But I try, hope and believe that my love is waiting for me somewhere where I left the part of my life. Yesterday on walking back home, watching at lights of big city, I thought about you and these thoughts warmed me up. And how wonderful life becomes when two alone find each other. And I think we will have much ahead: taste of kisses and the warm of love and I think happiness is around us and I just need to see and don't be afraid to let it in my heart. Maybe I am so romantic in my mind, but I write you what I think about.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Natalia.

Hello, dear xxxxxx.
Thank you for your letter. I'm romantic, this is the way I see the relationships with the loved man. Maybe, my look at the life is naive, but in reality it's not so. But I belive that my thoughts will come true. There are long talks with my second half on romantic evenings in my heart. I'm quiet, loyal, it's easy to live with me, I never become nervous. I think that all problems can be solved by finding out the reason. I try to plan my life and go to my aim. It's easy to make me laugh, but it's difficult to make me feel sad. I have a sense of humour and I never feel myself in bad spirit, because the life is wonderful and that we are young and healthy is great. Many people don't understand that just to wake up in the morning and to see the sky and the sun is wonderful. And it's a miracle to have a family and to have such a feeling as love. We must appreciate every day we live because it will never repeat again. I'm a small child who wants understanding and warmness. I hope, everything will be OK and we will meet each other in. I send you my picture. I hope you will like it. I'm looking forward to your next letter.
Natalia.

Hello, dear xxxxxxxx.
Thank you for your letter and for the story about your parents. Sometimes it happens that nasty weather brings sad thoughts but the belief in future and a great wish to bring only good things to people fills me with joy and help sad thoughts go away. My heart tells me that love do exist on the Earth. The world will play with joyful colors when we will feel it in our souls. I'm sure that strong feelings have high energy and are able to get inside the world of emotions of another person, calling a storm of love. If the love is mutual - it's a heaven's gift. Real love is always passionate. When I was young I dreamt to grow up and meet my wonderful prince.
Yes, I plan to meet with you in Kiev. Possibly, we will like each other and something may happen between us. We will know it at our meeting and our future will be opened for us. Looking forward to your answer.
Your Natalia.

Hello, dear xxxxxxxc.
Thank you for your letter. Now I want to tell you more about my family and my parents. My father was born not far from Kharkov in a small village Bugayovka. He spent his childhood and studied in school there. Then he came to Kharkov to enter the institute and he was invited on his friend's wedding party. There he met my mother. They loved each other at the first glance. The life of my parents, when they were young, was not easy. They lived in a multi-room flat with two other families. There was only one kitchen and bathroom for all of them. It was quite widespread at that time. They lived in one room - my mother, my father and my grandmother. When my elder brother was born, our family moved to our own three-room flat. My mother was born in Siberia, Sverdlovsk city. After some time my grandmother decided to move to Kharkov and this is how my mother and her young brother came to Kharkov. My mother is Russian by nationality and my father is Ukrainian. My childhood was very interesting and memorizing. My parents paid a lot of attention to me. I drew when I was a child, I liked music and sang in a chorus. For some time I was going in for tennis. My parents brought me up with the feeling of wonderful. They brought me up in love, understanding, they are nice people. Unfortunately, they don't live together now. It makes me feel upset very much. My father visits me often. We have good relationship with him. Notwithstanding he is not with us now, we feel his attention and care. I'm very grateful to them for all the things they did for me and for the right understanding of life. The love to my close person always helps me to live. It's a great pity, that many people don't think about it now. I always go ahead and know for sure that tomorrow will be the new day again. But every moment is inimitable and outstanding. What do you think about it? Yes, I could meet you in Kiev in the middle of July. If we will like each other then we could travel to Kharkov. Yes, studying is important for me now. It is my future profession. On this stage I give it all my time. I will be ready for the marriage when I will love.
I'm looking forward to your next letter.
Natalia.

Hello, dear xxxxxxxx
I think that the way we express our thoughts and feelings on the paper may give us an opportunity to know ourselves. Our letters help to express our emotions about what we look for in each other. I think that our letters will be like a mirror for us, where we will be able to see the reflections of ourselves. It even occurred to me that we will manage to see the past, the present and the future. For me every moment from our virtual meeting is very important because if it's even virtual for now, I know that the time of our real meeting will come. And then we will be able to look at each other eyes and to feel the warm of our hugs. Romantic of our relationships is what I dream about. . I want a fairy-tale in my grey world. One writer said that the woman is not an Earth creature and may be that's why I look for a miracle. Our relationships are like an opened book, blank sheet and it's only up to us what will we write in it. Yesterday we celebrated an Orthodox Easter. Many people went to churches, it was much discussed in press and on TV. Everybody presented each other eggs and presents. How do you celebrate Easter?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Natasha
