By the way my friend has found her husband on Match.com, he is from France, and now they are very happy together and they are living in Leon.
And i also want to be happy with someone special for me, and who will be next to me. And age doesnt
matter for me at all, the main thing is to be happy and find love.
I ve told my friends about my desision to write to you and they are supporting me, cause
they worry about me and wants to see me happy. 
Some information about my family, my parents past away and i live alone now. And i dont want to be here alone. And i dont have

common thing and i like it very much. I think we are becoming more 
closer to each other. Ive choose your profile cause i like you very much, when i read your profile
i think you are very interesting person. And i think i am always looking for you.


By the way i have something more to tell you about me. I didnt tell you
that i like travel.I have been in Moscow,i ve been there some years ago with my friends.
Also I have been in St.Pitersburg. It was wonderful
to see good places. But unfortunatly i had no chance to visit any 
foring country very often, i think its very intresting to know about culture
of other countries. I ve been only in Turkey 2 years ago.
Some more information about me:
- i have a blue eyes
- i am 5'7
- i am 55 kg
- my size (88-63-92)in cm.

Also i would like to tell you that i work in a hospital in my town. I am a Dantist. I know that in your country
i can earn a good money, but here its too small. Its about 300 Dollars per month. Can you belive it? Soory for this.
Dont listen.!!!


Lets talk about good things:

Now i would like to tell you about my last weekends.
It was 16 C digrees ( this is a teperature in Celcius), and i with my frends
went to the forest for a camping. And it was very funy.
Do you like camp?
By the way, I will be 35 years old soon.
My birthday 30th September .Can you belive it!!!.
But its nothing special for me in this day,
cause i will stay at home this day.I am very lonely
in my birthday cause i dont have a man who love me. 
Now i am very sad that you are so far away from me. 


I have a dream to have a family, to take care about 
my housband. Its all i want in my life, i just want to be happy.And its doesnt matter 
in what kind of country my future husband is living. 
I will be next to him, and i will find any job i can to help have a good style of life.
But i think its only can be a dream. Its so sad.


Ok there are some more questions for you:
- what did you do on weekend
- what did you do for fun


I will be waiting for your replay very much. Goodbay for now i have to
go for a work. 

Yours,Svetlana

Hello sweety!!! How are you today? I hope everething is ok. 
I am very happy to read all your letters for me. 
Your letters makes my day. And my friends are also happy to see that we have correspondence.
I have to tell you that you make my life full of happyness. And now i
know there is somebody who are thinking about me and now i am not alone.
Thank you for that. And i dont want to put my profile on yahoo again cause i dont want to 
see other emails, just want to have corespondence only with you. I dont know why but i like your
profile at the first sight, i cant explain it, its difficult to explane for me.


We have a good weather today its about 12. 
Its time to go for a walk but you are so far away, and i dont like walk alone.
That is why i am in internet cafe now and writing this massage. I dont know 
what else i can tell you about me i fill that you have already know 
all things about me. I have fillings that i know you very long time.
By the way yesterday my girlfriend and i went to the cinema it was
"Wedding Crashers". You should see it, cause its very good movie.


As for me i want to hear your voice very much,but i dont have a phone
at home and you cant call me but if you want you can give me your number
and i will try to find a way to call you as soon as i can, it will 
be great, but i dont know how it will be cause i dont speak english very good . 

Its very difficult to use messenger because of time diffrence, and i dont have computer at home.

You know , when i stay alone evening i am thinking about our first meeting, 
how it can be, i imagine when you see me in the airport and give me flowers
take my hand and kiss me and we go to your home to celebrate my birthday.
It will be the best gift on my birthday in the world.Or you can visit me
and we will celebrate it here alone, only you and me.I am thinking about it all the time.
Did you imagine it or not?. What do think about it? 
By the way what is the closest airport to your place? Mine in Omsk its about
20 km from my home.

I cant stop writing this letter cause i like it very much, but 
i have to do some housework and need to go. I hope you are thinking
of me cause i am thinking of you and sending a pictures for you 
i hope if you see it you will think about me.
I hope you like them. 

Ok i wish you good day!!!

Kisses for you!!!

From Svetlana Loiko with love!!!

Hello my love!!! How are you today? I am so happy
to read your emails. 
Sorry for late responding.
I think ilove you so much you are very handsome man and i always 
dream about you. I told all about our relationships to my friends
and they are very happy to see how i becoming more happy then was before you.

I dont know what else i can tell you but my mind full of words of love 
and nothing else. Every day i hope that all its real and you are not just my imagination.
My friends say you hello. I have some present for you from them.

I cant wait our meeting and think about you every day. What about you ??? 
You are the man i am looking for.
I was in travel agency to find out how i can get to fly to you. And be with you on my Birthday.
I hope we can make it, and i gave your 
email adress to travel agent and he promised me to send you all information about my trip. Its very good agency and its very 
popular here, and the main thing, its the cheapest. 


But there is one thing, if we want to celebrate my birthday in your place, you should
tell me will you help me or not, cause now they can offer us a good deal about tickets 
and if we meet later it will cost much more for us because it will be more difficult 
to get visa which is valid during 1 month, this is some kind of marrige visa, i dont know exactly. 

Think about it cause its very good chance to be tpgether.
Unfortunatly, i cant afford it,cause i earn only 300 USD here ,and it will be so nice if you help us, but you shouldnt worry i will
give it back to you all money when we meet, cause i will work in some hospital and can earn some money for you.
I am sorry to tell that but iam realy want to be with you. I dont know what else i can tell, you 
know everithing about me. Of course if i could i will ask all my friends to lend me some but 
i dont have any friends who can do it for me , please understand it, soory if it make you sad.
I hope you will understand me in good way. I can speak with you all day and night but its better to speak 
face to face to know each other much better. Dont you think so.???

If you want i can fly to you only for a week and we will see how things goes on or i can stay
with you forever, if you love me, all in your hands....


Ok now i give you a lot of kisses from me, and i gave you my heart, and i belive that my dreams
will come true. And i will be with you soon!!!!



Love you so much. Want to touch you and kiss you.!!! bye for now.
PS I will be waiting for your replay .

From Svetlana Loiko with love!!!
Russia, Omsk, Lermontova 21-19
