Hello dear xxx!
 
Nice to meet you Or can I call you xxx maybe? Thank you for your letter as well as a nice picture, which I liked a lot, and also enjoyed learning about you. You sound like a very good and decent person, and I see that family means a lot to you, which I respect and admire.
I am new to this sort of communication, but I`m willing to try it and see what can come out of it. I am a happy person, you know, I`ve got my family and my friends, but in spite of this, I realize that something is still missing. I believe that we all have our second halves somewhere, but I haven`t found mine yet, and without such a person life just doesn`t feel complete. But I also believe that happiness comes to those who do their best to gain it, so I am not going to sit still waiting for the knight in the shining armour to come and get me, but rather look for him myself. I`ve checked the neighborhood and it turned out that all the knights are taken already So I`ve decided to look elsewhere, and here I am.
And why do you look for a woman outside your country?
My attitude to religion is the following: officially I am Russian Orthodox but by beliefs I am rather spiritual than religious, though I respect any people`s beliefs as long as they do not claim to hurt others. And why do you ask? Is it very important to you?
I don`t have a huge list of demands towards a man I want to meet. I don`t need anyone perfect, after all, I am not perfect either. I just want him to be genuine and serious about family as I am. But I can name a few traits that I appreciate in people. I like men who are smart, generous, have a good sense of humor, strong yet kind-hearted, confident yet sensual and compassionate. I like men who are easy-going, laid-back, active, romantic, men who are  not afraid to show their feelings, and who, like me, belive in true love. I don`t like greedy, arrogant or mean people, as well as cowards. And I definitely want someone for who faithfulness is very important too. 
And what kind of woman you would like to meet? What things are important in a relationship for you? What are your interests and favorite activities? I really want to get to know you, so hope you will write back soon,
 
Warmly, Luba
