Hello Carl! I am so glad to start our communication. My name is Anna or Anya. I am25 years old. For a long time I lived with my grandmother in Schastye,Ukraine. But three years ago I decided to start my own life. I rent anapartment and live alone. It is not very fun but I have not much timeto be bored. I am working as a seller at pharmacy. My work day startedat 8 am and finished at 6 pm. And some time I work at night shift. Sorry for starting my first letter with horrible details about my lifebut my father died when I was one year old, that's why I lived with mygranny. She brought me up. And my mother… She deserted our family… Ido not like to tell about her. I have never seen her in my life, so Ihope you understand my feelings. And my grandmother (she is myfather’s mother)… This woman gives me all her heart and soul. We loveeach other very much so I can say that I had a happy childhood. Ok, mylife story is not very pleasant so I think it enough about me. Tell meabout you. What is your occupation? Have you any hobbies? Tell meeverything you want me to know about your life. I am very interestedto know you better. May be you tell me some interesting facts aboutyour life. And more about my interests… I adore plants and flowers. I think thatplants are the most beautiful things that we have in this world. Ijust love spring flowers, especially lilies of the valley. Theseflowers have an unbelievable, unspeakable aroma. When I feel thisaroma I remember my father. Actually I do not why… You know, I have adream… When I get married (I hope that I meet a special person) Iwould like to have a wonderful garden. And what about you? Do you likeflowers? Or may be you like to present flowers to your girlfriend?

Ok, now I am finishing my letter and I hope to receive your reply asson as possible. See you later. Good bye! Your new friend Anya

Hello my new friend Carl!
Thank you very much for writing me a letter. I was waiting for it with
great impatience. And your letter makes my mood better. Now I feel
very good! How are you? How is your life? Thank you for the wonderful
photos. I like them very much! Very beautiful!
Today I would like to tell you about my love experience. I hope you
are interested in it. My love story is very interesting and strange at
the same time. We were young (I was 20 and he was 24) and we loved
each other like mad. I thought we were. We were together for four
years, so you see I am alone for a year. Everything was perfect. I
thought that I have found the only man in my life but… one day I found
out that my love betrayed me with my friend. I left him. I stop any
relation with that false friend (I can not even call her "a friend").
My heart was in pain. I did not want to live in lie. My friend Olga
saved me from the biggest mistake in my life. She lived with me for a
month. She did not go to work (she took a month's holiday). I am very
much obliged to her. Oh, I think that I wrote you about Olga at my
previous letter, did not I? She helps me at any trouble, at any
problem. She is a real friend. I love her very much. I have a lot of
good people around. But Olga is the best. I adore meeting my friends.
We always have much fun when we meet. We usually go to the disco. I
love dancing, so night clubs are my favorite places to have a rest.
And what about you?
I want to say the truth from the very beginning I do not speak English
unfortunately. I know that it is very important to know English for
modern person but… I am not very modern you see. I use a help of
translation service. My friend Olga advised me to find a future
husband in Internet. For the first time I thought that this
proposition was a joke. But when Olga called me and said that we went
to translation firm. And now I am speaking with you. And I am very
glad because of it. I hope that using a help of interpreter will not
prevent for our future communication.
I hope that you like my letter and send me a quick reply. I will be
waiting. I like receiving your letters. See you soon.
Your new friend Anya

Hi dear Carl!
I love to get your letters! Thank you! I appreciate your interest in
me. It is a great pleasure for me. How was your day? Did you have a
lot of work yesterday?
Today I send you new photos of mine. You see a little boy playing with
me, he is my godson. His name is Sasha. Sasha is a son of my best
friend Olga. He is 5 years old. This boy is very clever and kind. He
adores his mother and godmother too. When he comes to me in guests
with his mom we have a lot of fun together. We usually play different
games, especially playing hide-and-seek. We can play it for hours. ? I
love children very much. I do want to have my own children. I think I
would be a good mother. I will try my best that my children are the
happiest kids in the world.
In my first letter I wrote you that I like plants. But it is not my
favorite hobby. I love cooking. Best of all I like to prepare
different tasty dishes, especially vareniki with curds and different
soups. Have you ever tried a real Russian fish-soup? It is very tasty.
There is a very small kitchen in the flat where I am living now. And
that is a real problem. Why? Oh, dear, it is very hard for a woman to
live without a good place to prepare a tasty supper for her close
people. My grandmother says me that a wife must feed her husband very
well because a full man is a kind man. I trust her, she has a great
life experience. Do you agree with this phrase? Now I am going to tell
you my thoughts about my future husband. Are you interested to know
it? I believe that one day I meet a man who gives me his love,
passion, opens his hot heart and is ready to get my love and passion
back. I do want to be a good wife for my only man.
You know I did not think that I will run to the office of the
translation firm. Why? Because of your kind letters, because of your
wonderful soul. If one of my friends told me that I speak with a
great, intelligent, kind man. You know, I thought that there is no
such person as you are but now I see that I was wrong. I am happy that
I meet you. May be I should not write it but I like you so much.
Darling, now I have to go, today I have a night shift. I will wait for
your new letter.
Kiss you, dear. Bye. Your Anya

Hi darling Carl!
Today I have received your reply. And my day becomes brightly and
better, much better. Thank you so much. The weather is not very good
here. So my mood is not very good too. I think I am up to the weather.
I like snow very much. I love a hot weather. But I really do not like
rain and strong cold wind. So, the autumn is not my favorite season.
And what season do you like?
I am going to send you new photos. I like these pictures best of all.
That’s my little dog. Her name is Dusya. I love her. She is my best
friend. She is so funny and good dog. When I lived with my granny we
had two dogs. (My granny has a small house.) I thought that dogs are
not very clever animals. These dogs were always barking without cause.
It was awful. So, when my friends presented me Dusya, I was upset a
little bit. But in a day that we were living together I understood
that Dusya is the best god in the world. When I come home Dusya is
happy. She starts jumping, dancing, whimpering and licking. And I
start laughing. When my granny saw Dusya for the first time she said
that Dusya is not a dog, she is a mouse. But my granny and Dusya like
each other. J Ok, that’s enough about my dog. You see I adore animals.
Some times I think that animals are better then people… Why? Animals
do not betray us. If the animal loves, it shows this love. If it hates
you, you see this detestation. But people… you understand me, I know.
I would like to know more interesting facts about you. Tell me about
your friends. It is very interesting for me. I hope you do not mind
that I told my best friend Olga about our communication. I am in a
habit to tell her everything that happens with me. So, when we started
writing the letters to each other, I could not keep silence. I told
her about you. But do not be worry, I did not tell her every word that
you write me in your letters.
Well, honey, I am going to finish my letter. I want to visit my granny
tonight. She prepared her special apple-pie. She is a great cooker.
And her borsch… I have no words to explain a taste of this dish. But
my friends always came to us to have this borsch when we were
children. We imagined that we were on official reception. What games
did you play when you were a child? Sorry for such strange question
but I would like to know this fact too.
Sweetie, I kiss you in your cheek and wish you to have a nice day.
Waiting for your soon reply.
Your little girl Anya

Hi my dear Carl!
A new day has come and a new letter from you was received. As usual it
is very nice and full of kind and warm words. I am so thankful for it.
How are you? Do you have something new to tell me? I think you do. ? I
am fine. The weather is Ok! But it is already very cold outside. It
seems that the sun is cold too. It is strange but it is true. We
really have a cold sun in winter. And sometimes people have a cold sun
in their inner world. I had such sun in mine. This sun was shining but
I did not feel its heat… I thought that my sun has never been hot
again. But now my inner sun starts to become warmer. I know why.
Today I am going to send you a new photo. This young guy is my cousin.
His name is Vova. He is 23 years old. We are real friends. He is the
son of my aunt Olesya. Olesya is my father’s sister. When I was small
I visited my aunt and cousin every holidays. So, I can say that we
grew up together. They live in Rovenki. So, when we see each other it
is a real holiday too. I love them very much! ? This photo was made
when Vova came to visit me. We were walking with my friends. It was
very good party. Vova liked it very much. We had a lot of fun that
day. We celebrated the birthday of my ex-classmate. We had a good
party. I like to be photographed, so we did some. I will send you some
of them, if you want.
And the next photo I added was made in a bar called “Cap of coffee”.
It is the favorite place of us. (I mean me and my friends.) We always
have miraculous time there. When we see each other we go there. The
coffee prepared there is unbelievable and wonderful. It seems that the
members of this cafe have a special recipe for preparing coffee. Do
you like coffee? I adore it, especially with milk or cream. Mmmm… You
know I even feel the taste of that coffee now. Great feeling!But you
see that on the photo we are drinking white wine. I will explain. You
see the guy sitting next to Olga. He is our friend, Alexei. He got a
new job, so we celebrated it.
Darling, I am going to visit my granny today. I did not see her for
some days and I miss her very much. So, I need to finish my letter.
And I wait for your next letter with new nice photos. See you.
Lots of hugs and kisses. Your little Anya

Hi my sweet Carl!
Your little girl was flying on the wings to you today to read your
lines. I think I feel that your letter should come, so I go to the
translation firm and I do not mistake. There is a new letter from you!
I am so glad, my dear!
I like surprises very much but it is a very big problem with the work
of Ukrainian posts. Its almost do not work. My friend wanted to send
a letter to her granny and when she called her granny to asked if she
got that letter her granny replied that she did not receive anything.
So, the letter was lost and never found. So, I am afraid that I would
not receive your present or something (I can not even imagine what
you are going to send but I very interested.) I even do not remember
the post code of my town because we do not use it.

It is very
strange I know it but it is true.
My life is ok. I visited my grandmother as I wanted. (Remember? I
wrote you about it in my last letter.) She is fine too. She asked me
to say “Hello” to you. I told her about our correspondence. She is
very happy for us, sweetheart. You know, I was a little bit afraid to
tell my granny about my decision to go to the firm to look for my
second half. You see, I thought that granny would not understand me.
But I was wrong. When I told her about finding you, she had tears in
her eyes. She said that she prayed God to help me in my private life.
And God finally heard her. I am so happy that I have met you! It is
great!
Today I want to tell something new. Are you ready to read? Ok! My job…
My job is a boring process. It is the same routine. I sell the
medicines. Oh, God, I am so tired of it. There are the same things
every day. There are lots of old and sick people who come to our
pharmacy. Some of them had bad ears, the others can hardly walk
themselves. These people are so poor and miserable. My heart is
bleeding when I see them. And I do not understand why these people
come to the pharmacy without any help. If they do not have any
relatives who can help them. May be they are lonely. I do not know…
Sometimes, when I come home in the evening I feel so tired and even
bad that I want to leave my job and just sit at home. But then I
realize that I must work, I must to earn money for living and I permit
myself to go for work next day.
I invited my friend Olga to visit me tonight. We are going to prepare
our favorite chocolate cake. Did I tell you that I adore chocolate?
No? How it can be possible? Sorry. ? I love it. Some days I can eat
the chocolate only. I adore black chocolate with nuts. Mmmm… Yummy.
So, today is a chocolate day. It is going to be great evening! What do
you think? Olga said that she has something new to tell me. I am so
interested what she is going to tell!
My darling, I am waiting for your next letter. I miss you!
Kiss you tenderly,
Your little Anya
P.S. Do you like my photos. The first one was made on the party. And
the second one is from the gym. I just had fun.

Hi my adorable man Carl!
My heart is beating so fast because I am reading your letter. It is
unspeakable feeling. But my mood is not very good now. Why? I have
some problems with my work. I am so sorry that I tell you about it but
you have become so close to me, so… I thought I can tell you
everything.
It was a horrible day. The old man died on my hands… I could not do
anything to help him… I feel awful. I thought that my heart would stop
after that… I do not know how I bear it. It was very hard for me… So,
I asked the girl (we work together) substitute for me tomorrow. I need
some time to come to consciousness. I am so sorry that I made you to
read it… But I think about it all the time.
Ok, I will try to keep myself together. I am strong woman, so…
You know I s you in my dream last night. It was wonderful! When I woke
up I thought that it was not a dream. I was sure that it was in
reality but… I was mistaken unfortunately. I am going to tell you my
dream… Imagine… I was sitting on the green grass near the river. The
weather was perfect! The sun was shining! I was on the beautiful black
dress. The warm wind fondled my hair. And I had a perfect mood. Then I
saw you. You came to me, took my hand and kissed it. Then you smiled
and it sent shivers down my spine. We went for a walk near the river.
We saw a butterfly… It was very beautiful. It set on my arm and you
made a photo of us. You told me a joke (actually I do not remember
what this joke was about) but I was laughing for a long time. After
that small photo session with butterfly we were having dinner on the
green glade. We ate a very tasty fish dish. Then we ate strawberries,
chocolate, drank champagne. It was so romantic. You came nearer to me…
You were so close that I felt your breath under my skin… I was tremble
like a leaf on the wind… But you were holding me in your arms. You
were so strong but so tender and loving… I said: “I am yours, my
adorable!” We started kissing. It was the most wonderful kisses that I
have ever had… It was so sweet… I almost lost my mind and… I woke up.
My doggy woke me up. And I saw that it was just a dream…
I was upset that it was unreal but I decided that I should go to the
office today to ask if I have a new letter from you. And I have it!
Thank you for it.
I have to go, darling. I am so tired today. I wish you to have a good
day! See you soon. Lots of tender hugs and sweet kisses.
Your little Anya

Hello my sweetheart Carl!
I am writing this note to thank you for everything you gave me in your
letters. I mean all your kindness, warmness, thoughts, feelings,
sincerity, understanding… You know, you have become a very close
person for me while we were corresponding. I have never thought that I
will miss a person whom I have never seen and heard in my life… But I
do miss you, my darling! I feel you with all my soul and I want to be
with you. But… Honey, I am full of tears… I will try to explain…
Today as usual I came to the office of translation firm to ask if
there is a letter from you, my dear. I was so glad that you sent me a
new letter. But my smile disappeared from my face when the manager
said that the funds on my account are almost over and I should fill it
in a couple of days. It was like a bolt from the blue. I forgot about
this account since I found you and… Now is the most inappropriate
moment for me… I do not have funds to pay for the translation service
and I do not know what to do.
I am so sorry to bother you with my problems but I should inform you
about this. I am afraid that I will not be able to write you the
letters… I have no funds to pay for it, so…
I want you to know that I do not want to loose you. I need you in my
life. Thank you.
Your little girl Anya
