Letter 1
Subject: Hello, from Moscow!Hello, my dear Steve! How are you today? I am sorry for a delay of mine the answer to you. I in Moscow. I could not find some time the Internet-cafe. I have gone to Moscow with my friend Dahsa. She have acquainted me with people, which will help with formalities at reception of the visa. She had no money for a trip to Moscow, but I have paid for her. We have arrived to Moscow in the morning on February, 22nd. Moscow really big city very much. First of all, we searched not expensive for hotel. After I shall receive the visa, my friend will go home. It was a little terrible to me to go one to Moscow, and my friend will help to me with the visa. We were in a shock from cost of rooms in hotel. Moscow one of most expensive cities in the World. We searched for inexpensive hotel in current of 20 hours. Cost of a room in hotel from 200 dollars a day. It expensive very much. We have found an apartment on surburb of city. Cost a day - 100 dollars a day from one person. We could rent an apartment with a condition, that I shall pay for a week forward. I have paid for 10 days forward. I have paid till March, 4th. We had no other choice and I have paid 2000 dollars for a two. It really expensive very much. On Friday in the morning my friend has acquainted me with the necessary people and this day, in the morning at 11 o'clock (on February, 23rd), I had my first Interview in Foreign Embassy. All is good. To me will help with formalities and in current of week I can receive the visa. Unfortunately I have received a problem. Now I have no enough money for tickets. I have spent many money for rent. I did not know, that Moscow became expensive city very much lately. Cost of tickets for me 1469 dолларов. I can receive my following interview only if I shall have that money. I have a little money. But this money it is enough only buy for meal and movement across Moscow. Especially us two. I did not think, that I can get in such situation. I had 3500 dollars. But now I have money only for meal, visiting the Internet-cafe and for meal for me and my friend (and for the ticket home to my friend). I cannot receive my following Interview. In day of reception of the visa I should buy tickets. I should buy roundtrip ticket. Has no value, there will be I stay there, or to come back. The important condition of Foreign Embassy, I should myself buy roundtrip ticket. I was upset very much. I do not know what to me to do now. I have no opportunity to find money now. I had tears on eyes. Thanks my friend, she calmed me. I can receive the visa soon. But I cannot receive the visa if I shall not find 1469 dollars. I do not wish to stop on half of way! I wish to come to you! Your's forever Elena. Subject: Hello, my dear Steve again. I am glad very much, that you can fly here by the special plane. But not all so is simple. If you fly by that plane also will wish to take away me, it does not mean, that I shall receive the visa. I think you do not understand complexity of a situation a little! Without the visa I can not take off from Russia at all! I can receive the visa if I shall have money for roundtrip ticket. Now difficult to receive the visa to your country! The important condition of Foreign Embassy - I should myself buy tickets! The foreign embassy should be confident, that I have money for visiting your country. Do you understand it or not? To receive the status of the lawful immigrant, I should have cashes for buy roundtrip ticket. If I shall not have money, I simply shall not receive the visa. To me have told, now a lot of wishing visit your country and not everyone can receive the visa. To some people simply do not give the visa, without an explanation of the reason! I can receive the visa (to me has simply carried!), But I should observe all rules of Foreign Embassy. To my following Interview I should have the full sum of money for roundtrip ticket! You not can simply fly here, and take away me!!! Do you understand this situation? Your flight here can be senseless, you will spend many money, and all in vain! Your's forever Elena. p.s. My friend Dasha still sleeps. I shall ask her that you spoke! Subject: My Trip I have decided to go ahead and take the plane to your country... I think it will be good for me to visit and find out for myself how the your country is and what your culture is like and the shopping and the food and history and everything. You must be very proud of your culture and what your country has acomplished. We have always studied about your country and believe your people to be a very bright and determined people. I think this is true! I am a patient man. Wisdom comes to those who are willing to think. I didnt win the contest for any old reason. It was persistence and determination. Pleasently persistent and very determined equals sucess. Look at the bright side of things, you never know how meeting people in this life will change your life forever. The true object maybe before your eyes and you simply must open them and see the light.... I hope this letter means something to you... as much as it means to for me to write it... good luck and I will see you soon. Should I dress for warm cool or freezing ass cold..... Would you take me to see the government buildings and the museuem. I would like to see the country side also....and where you grew up...I love these kinds of things... keep and open mind and open heart......let your heart talk to you.... Letter 2 The story: If I remember correctly, I placed an ad on Craigslist seek a woman. She responded to me very casually, I responded back casually. It took a few weeks and I never expected anything. Then she came on and about once week for two months she sent me a letter. Telling me about herself in detail where she lived and what she does. She charmed me in every letter much further than I get from other women..Naturally, I was interested and continued to write letters. Then she called me outta the blue..... we laughed and talked and it was great.. I was convinced there was no scam... I guess she got comfortable with me and decided it was time to take things to the next level in her plan.... she told me she could not live without me anyfurther and it was necessary for her to come to me.....She came up with a plan. I offered money and she said she had all the money she needed for her arrival to me.....I was further reassured.. So I deceided if she was gonna pay for the trip I would encourage her to make the arrangements. Her plan accelerated, and she wrote with her plans to travel to moscow and get her visa. She told me she spent the day gathering her things and she would not return to her home. She would be leaving for moscow and then arrive to me.. AT this point, my sister uncovered your website and the russian girl scam.. We then expected some tradjedy and she would ask for money. So we waited..... The money letter came as expected... She explained that her friend was to go along to moscow with her to assure a smooth visa reception. But after arriving to moscow the hotels were so expensive and to get the cheaper rate she had to hire the hotel for ten days in advance. This caused her money suppply to expire....... Her story was that she needed 1469 usd before her next embassy interview or they would refuse her visa...... Since I am a pilot, I suggested she sit tight and I would hire a private aircraft myself and fly over to pick her up. I guess she got flustered with my approach .. you can read the response letters your self.. I will send them all to you.....I just got tired of talking to someone I didnt trust anymore. I ended it..... I hope someone catches up to this fake scammer..... She was good up till the money... Oh and the other thing that was suspicious is all the great photos she had of herself in every attire and season... She has some great photos... I can send them all.. about thirty I think in all......... My sister suggested to me I send her money and some flowers... I asked for her address and she refused.
