Russian Love #2 Pt.3

My other Russian has been very quiet of late, but then I found she had changed her email addy and it, unsurprisingly, went into the spam folder. So I fished it out and found two emails from her.
Hello my dear (what is your name?), thank you for your answer!

At first I think I have to say that I am new in internet and I have only good intentions.

you should know that I am not very good writer in english, please be patient to read my messages and see many mistakes. to be fair I don't know what you want to know about me,in principle I am usual girl.I think I should tell you about me, my interests,tastes and hobbies.I think I will tell you about things I want to know about you and you will know my future questions.

I am 25 years old,my birthday is September, 24, 1982. I so much don't want to get older ,when I can see old women I am getting crazy to think that it is my future .I do all the best to keep my youth and I keep my body well.In spite of all difficultes here I am trying to be in good condition and I do a lot of exercises to be in good shape!

I am about 172 cm tall (5.6) and my weight is about 56 kg. I've been told I look well enough ,and I think that all women have own beaty. I have never been married and I don`t have children.

I have one youngest sisters and it is great problem for us because we have only two rooms flat.you can't imagine what does it mean to be born in small town in Russia,there are not any chances to live well,to get a good job.All young people leave towns to search great luck in big cities but nobody waits for them there. I want to leave Russia,I know it sounds ugly but I know that I will be lost here like many young girls before me. It is not place to grow children and have stable future.I want to meet my right man .

I think in future I can work as fitness trainer I have a certificate. My mother is my great problem too,she has a great dream to see me married and she wants to make me happy but I think it is only my business I am not a little child. She tells me every day that I should get married very soon... To be fair I am not sure I am able to explain all in first message I want to say so much! I just want you to know that I am not afraid to work,I am fairly goal oriented and I am sure you will be not disappoined to meet me in real life.I am going to spend three months abroad to work in any good place,agency promises to help me because it is only the way I can leave Russia.I will have all documents to travel in a few days and i will travel to moscow then,from moscow I will travel to you and they ask me about name of the city i am going to work, if you don't mind to meet me please tell me the name of your city and nearest international airport! I will book my flight from moscow!

I think it would be so great to meet my love and stay there forever.I know that it is not so easy like I think but I think it is possible that I meat my real love. I want to love and to be loved I want to build our own happiness,only me and my man there. I don't smoke,I tried to smoke when I was younger.

I may have a glass of red dry vine,sometimes it helps to relax. I try to take care of my body and face. I know it is all I have.

My soul may have any itnterst for you later, I thinkso.I am not a little girl and I know that at first almost all men look at body ,legs and face.God created males such persons. Well,I think I am lost in my letter,I am not sure you understand my goals,please feel free to ask.

I live in Russia,town Molodezhnyi, Lenina street 7, flat 18 ,it is near big city Irkutsk. My town is rather far from Moscow. Moscow is a capital of my country. I want you to reply if you understand my mind,my intentions,my soul,if not please reply too, I will continue my searching. Well, I will close this letter,I think you are tired to read it.and If you think that I should write shorter letters please tell me. I write from internet cafe in Irkutsk because there are not cafes and possibility to use internet in my small town,we have 4 digital phone number and we can't call abroad.Even to call in any big town here in Russia I have to order the call in advance.and I would like to say please don't worry if I keep silence sometimes I have no time to travel ,it is about 25 minutes by bus from my town till Irkutsk Please tell me more about you,your tastes,likes and dislikes .also I have a few impotant questions do you like strong drinks too much?can you be very drunk?very ofthen?can you be rude with women?

Well,I have to stop or I will write without ending.Kiss you !see you later. In my next e-mail I will write you more things about myself and more details about my trip and work. I will miss you,
your Natalya







She then followed up with another one when I didn't reply.
Hi my dear
I have passed close to the Internet-cafe, and have decided to send you new photos.
I hope you will love them. I with impatience shall wait from you for the letter

Kiss Natalya





Very nice young lady apparently, and again, seems to have lots of pictures available. I have noticed that with both Natalya and Elena, they don't actually reply to anything you say - they just hammer out their own letters which are prolly already written, but we shall see...
Natalya,
Firstly, my name is Daryl, and secondly, you are welcome.

I apologise that I have not been able to reply in a long time to your messages. I read them and have re-read them, and loving your photographs - you are very photogenic. I have been away on business in western Africa, finalising some contracts outstanding from a colleage that passed away while out there. The Ivory Coast is a violent country, and I had to have a security guard with me at all times - had they known I was carrying $25million in a case in the car, I would have been attacked and murdered. But, I came home safe and sound, and the money has now been paid out to the appropriate parties, so all is good once again, and I am back home again for a time.

Your english is very good, much better than I speak any other language, so don't worry.

Getting old and stuff, well, that is a fact of life, and to be honest, it's not as bad as people think. As long as you are happy, then who cares how old you are. As I said before, you look great in your photos, so don't be judged.

Russia sounds like a very strange country to try and grow up in. Is it that bad that you have to leave your home and find another country to live in? I tend to visit Africa and South American more than anywhere else in the world, so don't know much about your country really, only what I have seen in the media.

As for my local area, the closest airport is probably Stanstead - I live in Norfolk, pretty much in the middle of nowhere. I have a large house with it's own grounds, and aside from my children, I live alone. My kids are everything, and anyone that wants to be with me has to understand that first and foremost. We don't talk about their mother.

I do not smoke, and only drink occasionally - being on call for my contractors 24/7 I cannot afford to be called out while drinking - I would lose money and clients, and that's a big no no in my profession..

Otherwise, I tend to work out fairly often, running and horse riding when I get the chance. I am very tall, 6ft 6inches, and usually wear a suit unless I am relaxing and taking it easy, in which case I usually wear shorts no matter the weather.

Otherwise, I come from a large family that has always been very close knit, and we tend to take our holidays together. My parents built the company from the ground up, and now I effectively work for them, even though they are shadow partners now and me and my sister do the footwork. It works well mind you.

The nearest town is tiny, a small village town with two pubs, a couple of shops and various farming stores - otherwise, that is is. Again, it's very close knit, everyone knows everyone.

As for my tastes, my likes, dislikes and everything else... I love good food, I love to travel, and I like to talk - I could talk all night if needed, just because. Good company, good humour - I am happy. Dislikes - there is very little I don't like, a few foods that I don't like to eat, rude people, angry people I don't have the time for, and those being obnoxious.

As for strong drinking, as I said, I do not drink very often, and when i do, it is only the occasional beer. I never get drunk, and I am never rude with women.

I hope this letter finds you well and that everything is going smoothly with your transition. Write back if you get the chance.

-Daryl

Russian Love #1 Pt.4

Elena has once again contacted me. Such a lovely girl with so many dreams and goals in life. Now her family are wanting to come over. And, if you read near the end, the "problems" getting her over here are starting... Trouble with translation money, whatever that is.. And, again, a couple more pictures to keep me interested:
Hello, my dear!
I was glad received your letter.
At us good weather, the sun now heats very strongly.
On streets of our city it is possible to see many young guys and girls, walking together.
They embrace and in their eyes a lot of love.
It is a pity to me, that I do not have person beside with which I might also
To take a walk somewhere on a beach, or even to take a walk on city.
I would be very glad to this. Summer, time of love.
Many people start relations with each other in the summer.
After my little walk, I went to home.
I start read my book.
I like read books most of all art.
Much cinema make on books, and I like read books first, than see film.
I like romance as each woman.
I listen music rarely, It can be radio on kitchen.
English language was my favorite subject at school and at university later.
I know, that it will be necessary for me in future.
As I told you some times back, I want to find husband abroad.
Russia are not clean country. I want to move from there.
My family agree with it. They hope, that I take their one day with me.
Each member in my family want to live abroad.
We can see many programs on TV about life abroad.
May be one day I will have chance see all of this.
Today my girlfriend write to me.
She has trouble with translation money, because she can't talk and hear.
She will find a way tomorrow.
I will waiting your letter now.

Elena, from Saint-Petersburg.




So, I suspect the next message - or maybe the following message - will ask for some sort of assistance, and that she will be eternally grateful. You know, as people are when strangers give them money.

So, in an effort to entice "her" more, I am dropping more hints about being a rich bastard!
My dear Elena,
Thank you for writing to me so soon again. I've had a very long arduous day at work with some clients I am working with. I've been caught with these guys arguing over a multi-million pound contract that has been drawn up for a year, and NOW when I start the work they are questioning the details. If it carries on, I will have to take them through the courts for breach of contract - and it will take forever.

So lots of stress.

Getting your mail has cheered me up though, and your pictures - wow, you are so pretty. You will certainly be very popular once you come over here.

The weather here is still wonderful and sunny, and the spring is much like yours there, with couples loving one another. I feel the pang of regret that I don't have that any more. One day maybe...

I agree with the movies and books thing. The book is always better than the movie version, and quite often they make so many changes, it's not even the same story. I love to read though, to sit and unwind with a book on my sofa. If I am not reading to me, I am listening to the Nanny read to the children.

I hope your family make it over here too, it will make your life easier with them closer to you.

Sorry your friend is having problems sorting things out. I am sure it will come together eventually.

I hope you are well, and happy with life.

Russian Love #1 Pt.3

Being that I am a bad bad person, I had forgotten to reply to Elena. And, like any scammer/spammer that wants my love and affection, plus worried at losing a mark, she has shown concern for me! She messaged me last week, and then yesterday she sent another picture. Bless her wee Russian socks...

Being a bad bad person, I forgot to reply to this mail. Her pictures are nice and all, but I wonder if the actual person knows she is being bandied around the internet looking for love ;)

So, here's here worried mail:
Hello my dear!!!
How are you???
What is happened???
You ill? Why you nothing do not write me. I want that we do not stop
to write each other. I am serioz girl and please do not forget me.
Please write me what is happened or simple write me the letter.
I wait answer. Forever your Elena



Of course, the question is, what would keep such a great businessman away from replying to the future love of his life... Hmmm, business, pleasure... AH HA!
My dearest Elena,
Please accept my deepest apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I have been so so busy with everything here. My ex-wife has been having a very hard time in Rehab of late, and has been put on suicide watch. I may have thrown her out of our lives, but I am not a cold shallow person to leave her to her suffering.

She has had her medication increased again, but the psychologists have said that the process of drying her out and getting her off the medication is a long arduous one, so it will take time. At least while she is restrained in the clinic, she cannot hurt herself.

On top of this, I have been juggling the life of a Father and of a Economist, and trying to find a happy medium. It is hard, but I am coping, and the children understand well thankfully.

As for your previous email to me, I am sorry the weather is not so good for you. Here it is hot and sunny - the rest of the world often jokes that the weather is bad, wet and windy, but in truth, it is usually warm and sunny. Like you, I prefer the summer when it is hot and clear.

In regards to my photograph, I will have to look around and find one for you. I've always been very camera-shy, and tend to be on the opposite side to the lens actually taking the pictures as opposed to being in the picture.

You asked about my parents, and that is fine :) I never knew my biological parents - I grew up in an orphanage from a baby till the age of 14 when I was adopted. The staff always told me that my parents were not dead, just that they did not want me. I have no issue with that - these are the things that define us after all. My adopted parents did what they could to raise me on their meagre budget, and I helped out where I could. I got a job as soon as I was 16 in order to help them out. Now they are both old and infirm, and the care home I have them in looks after them very well. The both worked all their lives looking out for one another and me, so it's only fair I let them rest now. I have kept their house though, as it is only right after all - it's where I grew up from 14 years old. The house is big enough that if someone needs their own space, they can
retreat to one of the bedrooms and have time to themselves, or go into the den, the dining room, or even one of the living rooms just to relax. We lead a very happy life here.

As for meeting, when you make it to England I would like that very much. Once you have your feet on the ground, I can send a car for you, or come and collect you myself.

Thank you for your pictures of course. You are very pretty.

I hope all is well Elena,
With my humble good thoughts
x

And now, we wait!

Russian Love #1 Cont. Pt2

So, Elena, my first Russian Girlfriend replied with her semi-dressed photo, and I waited before posting a new reply, just in case. For Elena, I am the busy businessman with a drunken ex wife and lots of children. And implied richness. That should be good!
Dear Elena,
Apologies for not replying sooner, I have been away on business, and out of range for the internet on both my computers and my phone.

It sounds to me like you have a good plan set into motion, and you sounds like a great person with lots of passion. You have a great many hobbies and past times too, and it's good that you enjoy life so much. Added to this, your pictures are beautiful.

About me, well I am 29 years old, single but have five children that fill my spare time. I am a good friend with their mother too, but like you, alcohol is a bad thing. She would drink all day every day and was addicted to pain killers, so for the sake of our children, I threw her out. I put her through a rehabilitation clinic and she is cleaning up well. Lucky for me I make enough money to pay for a private clinic, child minders for when I am working, and holidays abroad for the children.

I have university degrees in Business, Economics and Sociology, and come from a small, quite own in the east. Living in such a large house as a child - filled with things that you were not allowed to touch, not allowed to make a noise or anything made me want to be surrounded by children and have a loving wife.

As for looking for a partner... Well, as long as she can hold a good conversation, appreciate I can be away a lot on business, and has a good sense of humour, then that is good. I have many hobbies and activities I like to do when I get the chance, but work has be very busy of late. Such is life, I suppose.

I hope all is well and hope to hear from you soon!

:)

Russian Love #2 Cont. Pt3

So, now I know it's a scam, I am willing to play along as the forlorn lost little puppy ;)

Dear Natalya,
I am so sorry that I had failed to reply to you - I've been fairly busy on business and found myself in a place with no internet access, plus my phone refused to connect to the internet. So my apologies for that.

I admit, I was surprised to get your email out of the blue, as I generally don't give it out to many people, though I assume it must be somewhere out there. Perhaps some of my employees have used it on the internet and it has circulated from there.

It sounds like you have your head in the right place, with a good plan of action. There is lot of work to be had in and around this area, and dont worry about your looks because you are better looking that most of the girls in the bars and clubs here - assuming that is something you want to do to earn money.

I wouldnt worry too much about your language skills either, as you speak better English than most of us speak any other language, so don't worry. As long as you get your point across and can be understood, don't worry. We're a very forgiving people ;)

I will send a picture as soon as I can work out how to use my camera! Again, thank you for the photos of yourself.

:)

Russian Love Scams

OK, I've done some poking and digging around the web, and, as I thought, this is in fact a scam. I was pretty sure it was anyway, with the name changes, the email address changes and, well, the sheer randomness of it all, but I DO like to be carefful.

Over time, I will get more pictures, our "relationship" will grow, then she will start making suggestions for me to pay for her to come over here - by sending her the money by transfer, of course.

So, now that I am certain I am not destroying some poor little Russian Girls heart, time to piss with them.

Russian Love #2 Cont. Pt2

heh, another mail from "Natayla" because I've not replied yet...
Once again hello.

I have decided to send you still pictures.I hope, that you will love them
I hope, that you will answer my letter.I with impatience shall wait from you for the answer.


Your Natalya



Considering she's a poor Russian girl, she's got a lot of professional photos done ;)
