Hi my xxx,

I'm very glad that you have written to me. I need your letters more
and more often. They make me happy. I was determined with work in
clinic! I shall be the surgeon. I shall soon have holidays, I shall
work as the senior surgeon. Hope, that you is glad for me because the
surgeon is my favorite trade.

Today I have been late for work. When I woke up in the morning, my
neighbor came to me. She is an old woman and she is a very good and
king woman. We address each other when we need something. Today she
came to me because she had a problem. The door to her house has been
broken and she couldn’t close it. She lives alone as well, her husband
died 5 years ago and now nobody is ready to help her. So, I went to
have a look at the door. We tried to repair it but we could do
nothing. I am a bad carpenter (smile). As it turned out something was
wrong with a lock, it was necessary to ask a specialist’s help. Klava
(this is my neighbor’s name) was very disappointed, what we could do,
we are women, and it was clear that a specialist’s help was necessary.
I tried to calm down my neighbor because she doesn’t feel well and
it’s very dangerous for her to be nervous. She had to be hospitalized,
but she refused to do it and now she has to take injections every day.
I promised to ask for a carpenter. In our clinic there is a man, who
is responsible for repair, if something is wrong with the clinic. He
drinks alcohol a lot, but he has “golden hands” (in Russia it means
that a person with “golden hands” can do all the things very good) I
want to ask him to help my neighbor with her door. I want that he
attempt to repair my roof. I do not know whether he will agree. I
shall hope for his help. I can’t find him now but as soon as I see him
I’ll ask. It is very important to help old people. More than it our
government doesn't treat old people well. Pensions are tiny. They
don’t get any social aid. Our medicine is not free of charge. Old
people have to spend all the money on medicines. Of course it is not
good, it’s unfair, unjust. But the economic situation in Russia is not
highly developed. Well I am not interested in politics but the
question about social aid is very important for me.

I do not remember I wrote to you about my diploma? I have the diploma
the Europe-standard. This diploma entitles to work as the doctor in
your country.

Your Irina…

Hi my xxx,

Thank you very much for your letter, I was very glad to receive it as
usual because your letters always put me in a good mood and make me
smile.

I am thinking a lot about you and I like to read from you. I am very
glad that you understand me. You the unique person which to worry
about me. You know, I need to tell you something. I think that
friendship is very important in the relationships. Let me explain what
I mean here. I think that passion and affection are very good, but two
people that decide to be together need to know how deal with each
other in everyday life. You know what I mean? And I think that
friendship between them will help a lot. I would like to see a very
good, I can say the best friend in my soul mate. I think that
emotional connection is very important, so that two people will feel
very comfortable with each other. How do you think?

When I am reading your letters xxx, I feel that you are honest and
sincere with me, you are telling me a lot about you, so I want to give
you the same thing. You know, I have a dream. I would like to find a
true love, a special person who is going to love and take care of me
and I will do the same for him. I want our love to be forever. I think
that when I meet that special one I will give him all of my
tenderness, care and love. And what is your dream? What do you want
the most from life? Please, tell me. It will be very interesting for
me to know what you are thinking and dreaming about.

You know xxx, I need to tell you something. I have never thought
before that this is possible to find a very good friend, somebody
special with the help of Internet. But now I can say that this
happened to me, I’ve met you and it seems to me like I know you for a
long time even though we exchanged only a few letters. Now I can say
that there is a person in the world who understands me, my life
position, whose dreams and intentions are close to mine. You should
know that you are dear to my heart, I am always ready to listen,
understand and try to help you if you need that. Ok, I am finishing my
letter now and I will be looking forward to your reply!!!

I am thinking about you!!! With tender hugs and kisses

Irina...

Hi my xxx,

Now I'm writing to your letter and I'm happy. It's very pleasant that
I have such the close person as you are. It's a pity that you are far
from me. But I will hope that we will meet one day. I think we will be
glad to see each other when we know each other better. Marina asks me
about you every day. I say to her that I'm constantly thinking about
you.The pictures have come to me!

Earlier I didn't manage to find the carpenter. But today I have seen
him in the morning and I asked him to repair the door in the Klava
house. In the afternoon he came and said that he had done everything
and changed the lock. I thanked him but he said: "Never mind" because
he is always ready to help old people. My neighbor came a little bit
later and told me about the carpenter. It turned out that he refused
to take money for his work. Klava tried to give him some money but he
said that he would be offended if she didn't stop doing it. Klava
said: "He has gone with nothing". By the way he and his college will
repair my roof in the house. You know many people in Russia help other
people and don't take money for it, if they know that the people have
to money. I think it's the only good feature of character of the
Russian people which roots go to the old far USSR.

It's a pity that many Russian men became alcoholics. I remember that
many-many years ago my mum and I had to make a fence around our house.
But what could we do? Mum and I? When my mother came to a shop to buy
nails, three men asked her what for she needed nails. She told they
and they began laughing, when learnt that a young lady and her little
daughter wanted to do. They came to our house together with my mom and
everything was ready in the evening. They refused to take money. The
only thing we could do for them just to feed them with pancakes after
their work. By the way since that time it is my favorite food. One of
the man asked if the had something to paint the fence. My mum answered
that she would buy paint a little bit later. Next day in the morning
the 2 men came and they brought their own paint and painted the fence.
We wanted to pay them for it some money, but they refused. They said
that the paint was left after the painting of their fence.

Yesterday in the evening I was thinking of my future work in the
clinic. I'm happy that I will get my favorite job. I should not study,
because I have the diploma of the surgeon of the European standard. I
don't know how to spend this month, I don't want to waste my time
useless. I must think it over. Of course I will write letters to you.
But it will take only the part of my day. What to do in the rest? I
must find a decision. I hope, you are not sick and tired of my letter.
But I want to tell you much. I think you are not against of it,
because I suppose you are my closest the man of my heart. Don't forget
to write letters to me.

Your Irina.

Hi my xxx,

How are you? Today I've the big desire to write to you. Hope you don't
object?

I suppose I can tell you about my bad experience in relations. If you
are not interested in it you may stop reading the letter. I won't be
offended. I think I can tell you the story because you have become
very very close to me recently. I hope you have an idea of the problem
with alcohol in Russia and I suppose you understand why I don't want
to look for a husband in Russia. Let's begin since the very first day
of the acquaintance. I worked in the clinic as a surgeon's assistant.
I was going home after my work but it began raining and I could not go
because I had left my umbrella at home. It was summer but never the
less I didn't want to get wet and to take a cold. I was standing under
the roof of the building waiting till the rain would stop. But the
rain was not going to stop and I wanted to go home in the rain. But a
young man was going in my direction with an umbrella. He saw that I
couldn't go with an umbrella and offered me to take his one. I asked
him: "And what about you?" He said that he would spend some time in
the clinic and may be the rain would stop soon. I asked how I would be
able to return him the umbrella. He said his address to me and his
name. His name is Vladimir. It was not far from the clinic. I wrote
down his address and promised to give him the umbrella the next day in
the evening. On my home I thanked the young man and asked the God to
stop the rain. But it was raining the whole night. I cursed myself
that I had taken the umbrella and that he was wet to the skin because
of me. I didn't sleep a wink at night. The next day in the clinic was
so long for me. I was looking forward to finishing my work to give the
umbrella back to Vladimir. I wanted to learn how he was. As soon as my
working day was over, I changed my working clothes and left my work.
Vladimir was standing at the door smiling. It turned out that he
remembered the time when my work was over. He came to meet me. I asked
about his health at once. He said that everything was all right. He
didn't get too wet because he was running home. Then we walked for a
long time. We talked a lot. My mum had died already and I was alone.
He was the dearest and the closest man in the world for me at that
time. He saw much of each other at time. But i didn't invite him my
house I wanted to check him. Once we were invited to a Birthday party
of his friend. I agreed to go to see his friends, as i wanted to know
more about him. Vladimir didn't drink even champagne. I thought it was
because of me, because I didn't drink as well. But his friends told me
that Vladimir really didn't drink alcohol. I liked Vladimir. I think
so did he. We became more than friends and he began to live in my
house. First 2 months we were very happy, we were on the seventh
heaven. But then he got a very good job. He became a lawyer. He made
much money. But he began drinking alcohol. At first a little bit -
then more and more. He didn't sleep at home at night. When he was
drunk he began beating me. I thought he change for the better, that he
would the same he had been before. But nothing changed. Once I was
beaten by him bitterly and left my house. He didn't come back 9 days.
Our friends told me that they had seen Vladimir with other girls. I
came to the conclusion that it was enough to bear it. When he came
back he even wasn't sorry and didn't apologize. I don't think that he
had forgotten that he had beaten me. I didn't say a word in the
evening. I started the talk in the morning when he was sober. So I
made him leave my house forever. He was shouting, screaming and he
even broke a photo in the frame where my mom and I were. I said to him
that I would call a police, well he had gone. Forever. Now I am happy
that I didn't marry him. Don’t want such relations once again. Almost
all Russian men drink alcohol a lot that's why I don't want to have
any relations with them. I suppose you understand me. I'm sorry my
letter is too long. But I wanted to show you what I am feeling.

I am very happy that I got acquainted with you. I hope our
communication will never stop. Marina has told to you "Hi". I have to
finish me letter. Thanks that you write me.

With all my heart, your Irina.

PS. By the way, I have overlooked to tell to you. Today carpenters
have repaired my roof. I am happy! It is very little necessary for the
lonely woman for happiness!!! (Smile) My roof was repaired by the same
carpenter who repaired Klava door.
