Hello   xxx 
How are you today?
I hope everything is excellent. As for me, I am fine here. I was happy to get your reply. To be honest, I hoped you would write back, although I wasn't completely sure. So when I found your e-mail today, it was a nice surprise for me.
I think first I must explain how I got your e-mail address. There is a dating agency in the town where I live. They help single women find men in other countries. Dating via the Internet is very popular now, so many women here use it. Some are lucky, some are not, but I thought, why not give it a try? I went to that dating agency, and they gave me your email address, saying that you are a member of a dating website and that you are a single man looking for a soulmate. They charged a small fee for it, but it's okay for trying to find true love. So, tell me, were they right? Are you really looking for true love, for a woman? And if yes, whom do you want to find?
Also, I want to ask you another question. What do you think about long-distance relationships? Is it okay for you? I am asking this because we are rather far from each other. I live in Russia, and there is a big distance between us. For me, it is not a problem. The Internet gives us a chance to get to know each other well before meeting in real life — to know the thoughts, dreams, wishes, facts of life, and others. The Internet is a great thing; it brings people closer. You can meet a person whom you will never meet in real life, and who knows, maybe it's your soulmate. So for me, it's something new and very interesting.
Now, I think I will tell you something more about me. Some facts:
I am a single lady, I have never been married and have no kids.
My height is 169 cm, and my weight is 55 kgs.
I'm 33 y.o.
Astrological sign: Scorpio, but I don't believe in astrology. I think every person is individual.
I live in Balashov, this is small town in Russia.
I graduated from medical college. I am working in a nursing home now. I really like my job, but sometimes it's not easy.
My favorite color is blue and green.
My favorite flowers are peonies.
I never smoke and never drink much alcohol, never tried any drugs, and I have a bad attitude towards this. I try to lead a healthy lifestyle, eat healthy food, play sports, go to the gym.
Well, now you can have a small idea about me. And I will be very happy to know more about you. Where do you live? What do you do for a living? What are your hobbies and interests? How do you love to spend your spare time? I wish to know everything. And if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them.
My main dream is to find true love, find a man whom I will love and with whom I can share everything. I have much love in my heart, and I want to give all my love to someone special. You can ask why I use the Internet for dating and why I did not find somebody in a place where I live. Well, I don't see the right man here in my city. For several reasons, I'm a little disappointed in Russian and Ukrainian men whom I see around me — too much alcohol, too cruel and not intelligent, don't respect women, don't think about the future. Maybe that's why I am trying Internet dating. Sure, people are different everywhere; there are good and bad people in any country. But something tells me that it's possible to meet a good man on the Internet and maybe from another country. I've heard many good stories about it, and I wish to try.
I have a computer at home, and I am writing you this e-mail by myself from my private email address. I studied English for several years in school and in college, so we can correspond in English without any problems. My English is not perfect, but I think it will be enough for us to understand each other.
Well, I am finishing my message for now. I attached a few photos of me, and I will be happy to get photos from you too.
Hope to know more about you from your next email.

Have a wonderful day, bye for now.
