Hi my new friend xxxxx!!!!
I am very glad, that you have answered my letter.
Ralph, your answer means for me that I have an opportunity all
and and to learn about you, about your life more.
I understand you, that you have not enough time to arrive to me.
Aching I hope, in the future, we will find a few time to meet and be a number.
I shall necessarily send you the photos in each letter.
I want to set to you many questions and my ideas are a little confused,
but I think, that in due course all will be good, as we become friends.
I do not know you whether or not from the first letter have understood that
my intentions are very serious. I want to find the half in a life.
I shall try to tell to you a little about my character.
Certainly it is difficult to speak always about itself, but I shall try.
My friends speak, that I very romantic woman. I love dialogue with people and
I like good humour. I very much appreciate in people such qualities as fidelity, honesty, validity, kindness.
I believe in love and I think, that it is very valuable flower which needs to be preserved always.
Certainly, as well as any woman is pleasant to me,
when men pay compliments also it always very pleasantly.
It is important for me, that around of me always there was a cleanliness and the order.
My mum since the childhood has learned me to prepare for various tasty
dishes from Russian cuisine. Probably sometime you can estimate it.
I have no intentions to spend myself on fleeting acquaintances,
I the woman of one love and search for the same man.
Unfortunately while I have not found the half, have not found such the man
to which would give itself, the love, heat.
For the woman it is very important to have strong family, to have
a shoulder against which always it is possible to lean during the complex moments
in a life and to divide with him the happy moments.
Tell please, you would like to have what woman in the life?
I understand, that probably this question still too early to set,
but believe, it is important for me.
I have tried to write shortly about myself, the character, my ideas and dreams.
By the way, I work 10 years as the doctor, it would be very pleasant to me to care of you.
I hope you as you will write about yourself.
I with impatience shall wait for your answer.
Sincerely, Alena.

Hello xxxxxx!!!
It is very pleasant to me to receive again from you the message.
Your messages for me as a solar beam in the gloomy sky. Dear Ralph, thanks, that you answer my questions,
after all so we start all to learn better each other. It is interesting to me to know about you all.
Tell please more in detail about the family. Whether the big family at you? What at you with them relations?
Whether it is a lot of at you relatives? How you spend time, when gather? My family very amicable. I wrote to you,
that I live one, but it to me does not prevent to visit them. They live in the Ryazan area in cosy apartment!
My daddy call Alexandr, to it of 56 years and he works at school as the mathematics teacher. And mum call Olga,
to it 53 years, and already some years it does not work and is engaged in housekeeping. We very much love each other.
Sometimes we get out on the nature to have a rest and fun. We have usually a rest on the bank of the river in the summer,
we bathe, we play volleyball, and we ski or the fads in the winter. We very cheerfully spend time, and I would not like
to leave from them at all!!! In private life at me emptiness. Last relations at me were last year. There was one boy,
but I have left him. He at all did not suit me. Among associates me people I cannot allocate anybody for serious relations.
Good men to become ever less and annoyingly once again to test disappointment when you think that has met the suitable person.
And here I have decided to come on a site of acquaintances, in hope to find the person who will love, appreciate and respect me.
Whether for me completely not important rich this person and as whom he works. I have specified in a profile that I search
for the man more advanced age. I think, that the person which has lived enough years, already has experience in dialogue
with women and has learnt to appreciate them and to address with them. I will be ready to devote myself all entirely,
without the rest, to such person. I consider, that the main advantage of the woman is fidelity and ability to create heat
and a cosiness in the house, to make the family happy.xxxxx, on it I finish the letter.
Write me the thoughts that I to you have told. I wait for your letters.
Sincerely, your friend Alena!
