My dear friend XXXXX!
Again your new letter makes my day!
I always wait your new mail! I am very glad, that have found such good friend as you XXXXX!
With each new letter we learn better each other.
It is very pleasant for me to write letters for you! I receive a lot of positive energy from your letter!
It seems to me that we can speak with you on any theme and we can understand each other.
As I have already told to you in the last letter, that I live one some years in my apartment.
But I am usual do not spend a lot of time there, because right after works I go to friends or a training hall, or on walk.
It is not interesting to me to sit houses one and to watch TV,
therefore I try to think up something interesting for the evening.
I already long time live independently and all that occurs in my life it is my own result.
I love my life though in it there is nothing especial.
When I wake up early in the morning at me always good mood, because I am glad new day and to all new,
that can take place with me! Certainly not always good weather and there are troubles,
but I know, that it only temporarily and it is not necessary to despond.
The only thing that would not suffice me now it is the person, which always was near to me.
I speak about the man, which would be ready to cast in the lot with my destiny and to pass this life together!
I had relations before, but I did not find that searched.
Unfortunately now men seldom appreciate serious and long relations.
It is very difficult to find the man, which has the same vital sights and priorities.
Even more often men search only for relations for short time.
I never respected these games and tried to not communicate with such people.
My parents have learned me to respect themselves! I always dreamed of the real feelings and serious relations.
When I more youngly, to me was seemed,that to me still early to think of it. Now I am adult woman,
but I do not see in Russian men of those qualities and priorities, which there should be at worthy men.
Time goes also all around changes. Serious relations and a marriage any more does not involve men.
People use each other in the personal purposes. It sounds severely, but it is valid so.
In Russia of the proprices of cancellation of marriages grows every year.
From it suffer not only adult people, but also small children, which remain without family and parents.
Therefore I did not hasten to leave in marriage and to create family.
For me in relations the most important full trust, honesty, fidelity,
attention the friend to the friend, understanding, support and care, respect and certainly love.
Life in Russia not so well. I for a long time think to begin a new life in other country.
Therefore I have decided to find the friend abroad.
First of all I search for friendship in fact without friendship there can not be relations. I am open for all new!
Our correspondence became very important for me!
I am very glad, that we have found each other and now we have an opportunity to learn each other better.
I do not hurry and hope anywhere that you too. I only wanted to tell to you that I think.
Certainly it is interesting to me that you think of it.
Have good day! I always wait your letters!

Your friend Nataliya

Welcome here Lada2105

Well done on spotting the scam, I'm glad you never payd anything. This scammer was showing his real face pretty soon, just because you asked some questions. Thanks for posting this. :=)

Being a victim doesn't mean you stand alone. We're here to help you.

Hi

I received the first contact by this scammer in Finnish language, but I noticed that it was translated with Google Translator. I continued the correspondance even I noticed that she was using the Bat as email server. Now that was alerting and I was on my guard. After six emails she was already in love and arranging her vacation to visit me in Helsinki. And then she started to ask money for the travel agency (350 euros for passport, visa, other documents?). I think she has never been abroad since in Schengen area (most of the European Union countries, Switzerland and Norway) you need to be able to show your hotel bookings, insurance, tickets etc. And since she was planning to stay at my apartment she would have required a personal invitation letter from me. I asked for the contact details of the travel agency since I have been scammed before and I will never send money to anyone I have not met via Western Union, but she explained that this travel agency only takes cash (another major hint). After she send me her contact information for the Western Union money transfer I googled her and found this site and this post.

Her letters to me were 95% here!!! Thanks a lot for this post and be careful out there ;)
