Here are some example emails and photographs from the scammer calling themselves 'Zoya'. Many of the sentences and sentiments in these emails are also used in other scams, as a google search will show. The scammer sends these emails to many people, entering their names at the points I have indicated with [name].
After pretending to fall in love with every recipient of these emails, the scammer invents a story about wishing to come and visit - and then requests help with the cost of travel. There is no intention of visiting; the scammer's only intention is to trick people into sending money.

Hello my dear love [name]!
I am very happy to see your letter today, And this only thing that can
calm me now. I am very sadly now, I am very afflicted and
disappointed. I don`t know what to tell to you, I do not wish you to
upset.. I have for you unpleasant news, and I do not know from what to
begin. Today I went to travel agency and learned that I should do and
that I should have at myself for a trip to you. And when I have told
that is necessary for me and how many it costs, I became so is
insulting, I am very much ashamed now before you, and I am sorry for
that promised you what I can not make. The trip to you will cost very
expensive, and I haven`t all sum which to me have told in travel
agency. I regret very much [name]! We cannot be together...
Today when I have come to travel agency to learn that is necessary for
me that I could arrive to you, I have learned that that I should have
necessary documents for travel, is the passport for travel abroad, the
visa, payment of taxes and tax collections, the certificate on passage
of medical examination, and after reception of the visa already and
the ticket. But except for it I still should go to Moscow. I have
asked why I should go to Moscow, and to me have explained that I
should pass medical examination in Moscow. And to go to Moscow are
necessary money for road to Moscow, on residing and a feed at Moscow.
And it is necessary to pay for all this approximately $713 dollars,
and then it will be necessary to take the ticket. And the price at
tickets different, and all depends on which airline I will take
advantage to arrive to you. It makes about $1870 dollars and above, I
simply was frightened having seen such price for the ticket, And all
that I can make now it only to pay for official registration of
papers, but I cannot pay for all trip to you. It is very dear to me. I
understand that I promised you, that I will arrive to you, and I will
try to make it. I will make all that in my forces to arrive to you,
but I do not know as me to pay for all trip and to arrive to you. But
I will do the utmost that we with you dream was executed also we were
together. I understand that this news very much has upset you, and I
ask you do not leave me, please do not stop to write to me. [name], you
the unique person which has remained with me and which I very much
love and I wish to be with you. I am ready for all to be with you,
both I will use the best efforts, and I will make it if you will
support me in this difficult situation. I ask you [name], only do not
stop to write to me your warm and gentle letters, I very much require
them. I hope that you understand me and will write to me... I want
that you did not leave from me and have remained with me and if we
will be together we will embody our dream in a reality. I love you
[name]!!!!!! I LOVE YOU AND I AM NOT AFRAID OF THESE FEELINGS!!!!!!! I
would will make all that we with you were forever together and were
happy. You are my Prince. [name] you are my dream and I want to live in
this world with you!!! I do not present as it is possible to live
without you. Forgive me [name]..... I want to cry and I don`t know what
doing now, I am very sorry.... Yours and only your loving and gentle
Zoya.
