Hello Markus,
I am glad to receive your letter.
It Svetlana from Russia.
How are you?
To me interestingly gets acquainted with people by means of the Internet. It is really interesting.
It is interesting to you?
I only more recently use the Internet and some time I got acquainted with men.
In first time it was interesting, but through some time interval it became clear to me, that it only games.
These men had no serious intentions for them it only game and a way to receive a photo. But I nevertheless don't lose hope.
I have serious intentions, and I don't play game if you aren't among such men then I will be glad to correspond with you.
But if you write to me only for the sake of an entertainment then I ask you not to spend our time for nothing. 
I know English language as I studied it at school and at university I can write and speak not much.
I think, that the language barrier doesn't become for us a problem.
Now I would like to begin our acquaintance.
At us ahead it is a lot of time, I would like to tell to you about myself gradually, creating step by step.
In this letter I will write to you about myself, about the city and work, further you learn about my family and the relative, in the subsequent letters I will tell to you about the hobbies and about many other things.
I would like, that your answers to my letters were similar to my letter, in those letters where I write to you about myself and about the city, you also described to me about the city and so on.
I think, you have understood me.
You accept it?
Excuse me for my requests, but thus I wish to achieve honesty and gravity from you.
I think, that it is very important.
Now I would like to write to you about myself and about the city.
I live in the city of Kazan this city to be in 850 kilometers to the east of Moscow.
My city to be on the bank of the river "Volga" it is very big river.
It is the big and beautiful city with the population more than 1 000000 persons. Here many ancient buildings and constructions even are the Kremlin, like Moscow. 
It is one of the oldest cities in Russia to it more than 1000.
Probably, that you can find not a lot of information on my city in the Internet.
Kazan is capital of republic Tatarstan, in it to republic there live the people - "Tatars" these people have Moslem doctrine.
But here too many Russian and other people. I am not the Tatar, I have Russian nationality.
I the white Russian girl my growth of 167 centimeters, and weight of 56 kgs (I don't know how many it will be in foots and foots).
I was born on June, 8th, 1982, my sign the zodiac Twins.
And what sign on the zodiac you have?
I orthodox the Christian I believe in God. 
I studied at building university and studied industrial and civil building.
I always devoted much time to training in university.
Now I work as the designer in the building company, I make calculations and projects of some knots of buildings and constructions, for this purpose I use special computer programs.
To like me my work though this work demands special attention and accuracy and it sometimes tires me.
Write to me about your work?
I the lonely girl and I never was married and I have no children.
I always devoted much time to the training and work, probably, that on it to the reason I had no long relations.
I concerned in the past when still studied at university. It was the guy from other city, he has arrived to be trained to Kazan, we studied at one university.
It seemed to me, that at us all was good, but when he has finished the training, he has come back in the city, I didn't receive from him any news.  
I have been very upset, but eventually I have ceased to think of him.

Thus, I wish to tell to you, that I have no wide experience in relations.
You, probably, ask a question why I don't search for the man for relations in the country.  
I have the opinion into the account of men from Russia. I think, that they aren't able to appreciate and respect the woman.
Besides they drink much and sometimes they beat women. I heard many similar histories here. Probably, that it is problems of education in our country much not safe families in by which children are brought up in cruelty and poverty.
The reason of my search of men in other country not only in it also it is interesting to me to learn culture and customs of other countries.
I never traveled, because I had no such possibility.
But I like to read books about other countries and to me to like to watch about travel on TV.
I only dream about travel.
I think, that it while everything, that I wished to write to you in this letter, in following letters I will write to you about the family, about the parents and friends and something else is possible.    
I hope, that I haven't tired you with so long letter.

I wish to warn you at once. I have no computer of the house, I have a computer on work, but it has no Internet connection and it is forbidden to me to use the computer to suit the own ends.
I only use the computer of the girlfriend and sometimes I visit Internet cafe.
And on same cause I can't use the program of instant messages MSN, Yahoo messenger, ICQ and also Skype.
I can't quickly answer your letters, I think, that I can write to you approximately 1 time in 2 days.
You accept it?
I also am set by questions.
How long you use the Internet for acquaintance to women?
Now I c impatience wait your similar letter.
Yours faithfully and care Svetlana

Hi Markus,

But it not always truly interest can sometimes appear because of various kinds of hobbies about which I never heard, 




but it is interesting to me to learn it.

Certainly, now during modern time about all write in newspapers and show on the TV, but I would like to learn about 




your country and about your culture from the person, such as you.

You can precisely describe about a situation in your country, and about your life. I think, that it is more 




interesting, when learn about a life and culture of the citizen of other country from him.

Unless you so don't think?

I have many hobbies and a hobby. 

I will begin that I very much like to dance, I like dances. I visited dancing employment when went to school and at

of war of 1812 between Russia and France), a "Crime and punishment" Dostoevsky (about the theory of a crime which 




was made by the student), "Archipelago Gulak" Solzhenecin (it about destiny of the person which has got in prison 




camp in Siberia, after the Second World War, the author described events which have occurred(happened) to it(him)). 

You know these products?

They are popular Russian authors if you didn't read it then I advise to you to take these books in hands to start to 




read them.

From foreign writers to like me Remarque's products. He/she is the remarkable author, his books are read very easily 




and clearly. He is the German writer he described event of the first and the Second World War eyes of the usual 




soldier, but he wasn't the nazi he was against, the nazi of Germany.

I read such products, as "On the western front without changes" (about the First World War eyes of the usual 




soldier), "Returning" (about a life of the same soldiers after the termination of the First World War), "Three 




companions" (one of my favourite products, the author writes about loyal friends and unfortunate love).

HI Markus,

Thanks for your letter to me are very pleasant.

How are you doing? How your weather?

I certainly agree with you honesty and mutual understanding this most important.

In summary time I like to read books.




I waited your letter, and now I can answer you.

In this letter I will tell to you about holidays in our country and not much about culture and customs.

I will start to tell to you from the very beginning of a year.

The most important holiday is New Year. At this time usually at us very coldly and it is a lot of snow.

We buy a New Year tree and we decorate it.

Till midnight, we cover a table and behind a table all family usually gathers.

We prepare a lot of various meal to set the table.

At midnight we open champagne and we congratulate each other, thus we see off old year, and after midnight we meet 




the new. 

All relatives and relatives, give each other gifts.

To like me this holiday.

And how you celebrate New Year?

After new year we celebrate Christmas, on January, 7th. In Catholic church all celebrate Christmas on December, 




25th, but on a calendar of orthodox church the Christmas in Russia is celebrated on January, 7th.

This day we go to church and also we congratulate each other. 

In our country there is a man's holiday it is celebrated on February, 23rd, in it put all women give gifts to the 




close men.

On March, 8th we celebrate the international women's day, this day all men give to the women gifts.

As we celebrate day of astronautics on April, 12th, this day the person has made the first flight in space, his name 




is Jury Gagarin. You heard about him?

On May, 1st we celebrate day of all workers.

This all the basic holidays in our country.

Write to me about your holidays? You celebrate what basic holidays in your country?

 In our country it is accepted to visit friends and relatives. And all are always glad to visitors, in Russia very 




hospitable people they always try to please the visitor, treat with his meal and show as much as possible respect.

I don't know, how it is accepted in your country.

What can you tell about it?

Usually in these holidays who doesn't work it the same days, as well as days off.

Certainly, on these holidays people drink vodka and have fun.

I don't drink in general and never drank.

I think, that vodka became a part of Russian culture and it not so well characterizes Russian people.

Many people have problems because of alcohol, but I think, that these problems are in each country.

But in Russia it is very widespread problem.

At many foreigners the very first associations which arise with Russia it is vodka, Moscow, Siberia, nested dolls 




and bears.

And some consider, that across Moscow bears wander.

And what associations arise at you with Russia?

    Russia has very interesting history, architecture and culture.

If you become interested, you can find books about it.

It is interesting to me as to learn about your culture, what you can tell to me about your country?

With everyone yours the letter to me to become all it is more interesting to learn you.

You are really very interesting to me.

I with impatience will wait your following letter.

Yours faithfully and care yours Svetlana  

Hi Markus

Thanks for your letter.

Now I feel, that we become closer.

Today I have met the girlfriends.

We were in cafe and talked behind a cup of tea.

We told each other about ourselves, about last events, I think, you know, how it happens in the company of girls.

We have recollected about our general girlfriend. Her name is Natasha.

I wish to tell to you about her because she has found the both love and to happiness by means of the Internet.

Yes, her life has sharply changed, she couldn't assume, that her lives will sharply exchange.

Two years ago she has started to use the Internet for acquaintances to men.

She has got acquainted with the man from Australia. They corresponded, and some time interval he has invited her to himself to spend a vacation together.

Natasha thought and has made decision to visit the man.

She has gone to Australia and has spent the most remarkable vacation in the life.

She told to us about those days which she has spent there.

Her eyes have been filled by happiness, all of us envied her happiness not much, but all of us as are glad for her.

After this vacation Natasha has left to live to Australia, she has married this man and has given birth to the child.

She has found the happiness in other country.

Her history always inspires me. I as hope to find the happiness.

The love can expect and is very far from the house.

For two loving hearts there are no barriers in this world. Even being in different points of the world, they can love each other and can create a family.

What do you think of it?

I have told to the girlfriends about you. They asked me about you about your country and culture.

I have told him, that you interesting and are attractive the man and that you are very interesting to me. As I haven't much told him about your country.




My girlfriends have wished my of good luck they are glad for me.

I assign to you, the big hopes I hope, that our acquaintance will lead us to success.

I trust in it. You like me, we stand to win.

    I would like to inform you, that I have no phone that we could call each other.

Earlier at our place there was phone, but nobody used this phone.

All tariffs, on payment for phone and after that we had to pay for use of phone much have more recently exchanged.

But we have decided to refuse phone as nobody used it.

Now almost each person has a mobile phone, and I too planned to buy phone. But also it is necessary to pay for it much, these are additional expenses which I didn't presume.

And on it I decided to refuse phone.

Now I don't have any phone.

I can sometimes use what or phone.

You can write me your phone number, probably, that I can call you in the future as soon as I will have such possibility.

Now we can communicate with the help e-mail.

Write me your letters.

I with impatience wait your letters.

Yours faithfully and care yours Svetlana

Hi Markus,

It is always pleasant to me to read your letters.

Recently we have much learned about each other and, certainly, we shouldn't stop on the reached.

I have got used to your letters, they became my habit.

I always try to find possibility to answer your letter as soon as possible.

I always with the big interest read your letters, I have started to feel, that between us there is a connection.

These are my first sensations about which I write to you.

And what you feel?

As you already, probably, have understood, I opened and emotional the person I haven't got used to restrain. When to me it is difficult or bad, I don't constrain insult and disappointment in the soul. For me it is important, to talk about it to parents or friends.

To me to become easier when I express to the loved one.

 I hope, that we understand each other.

I think, that such character trait is peculiar to many women.

Certainly, man's character strongly differs from female, but I have no wide experience in relations and I still don't know much about man's character.

I already wrote to you about last relations when I studied at university..

I had no more than any relations, probably, that is a lot of time and forces I give it to the work.

As still I can tell to you about the character.

I self-assured, not timid, have sense of humour (sometimes I have infectious laughter and a pleasant smile). I enjoy pleasant conversation, I like to talk to parents and friends.

And what you can tell to me about the character?

How you cope with difficulties?

What do your friends and relatives speak about your character?

It will be very interesting to me to learn about your habits and character.

I with impatience wait your following letter.

I send you an air kiss.

Yours faithfully and care yours Svetlana
