Hello, xxx!
I am very glad that you paid attention to my message. Your statement aroused my sincere interest. I noticed that you didn't send me your picture. 
I am so sorry that you have lost someone close to you. I understand your pain and share it with you. Please accept my deepest condolences - the loss of someone dear to your heart leaves a silence that no words can fill. I know how hard it is to cope with loss, how suddenly memories can flood in and how even the smallest things can bring tears. But life goes on, and with time the pain becomes less severe. I hope that you find the strength to move forward, carrying the love and memory of this person in your heart. May these memories one day bring you more smiles than sorrows. Please remember - you are not alone, even in grief you are surrounded by care and sympathy. You know, I can always listen to you and help you!
It's clear that receiving a letter from someone you don't know personally seems unexpected and alarming. Know that my intentions are sincere. I don't know why, but your reply got into my inbox. I added your email address to my contact list so that your emails don't end up in spam anymore. Please do the same so that my emails don't get lost among your spam, advertisements, and commercial offers. Then we can safely continue our communication, okay?
My name is Sofia, but I also like to be called Sofi. I am 29 years old, I have dark hair and blue eyes. I was born on December 19, 1995, my zodiac sign is Sagittarius. What is your attitude to astrology? They say that Sagittarians are energetic and creative people. I completely agree with this. My height is 171 cm, and my weight is 59 kg.
I live in Balashov, a small city in Russia. It is a very beautiful city with a population of about 75 thousand people, with beautiful architectural structures. I would also like to know more about your hometown - please tell me. I work as a primary school teacher in a city school and I love my job.
I am new to online dating. And you? But I am very happy to meet a man who is looking for a serious relationship!

See you soon, Sofi

G'day!
I hope this isn't too forward, but I sent you a message expressing my interest in establishing a connection with you, but I didn't receive a response back so far. I comprehend that life can get hectic, so if you can spare a minute, I'd be thankful if you could respond. 
I'm really intrigued in getting to know you better. For your reference, I've included a photo of myself to this message. I would like to know what's on your mind and if I catch your eye. 
So, if you're still willing, I'd be thrilled to get a response and continue our talk.
Sofi
