Hello, what should I call you? Thank you for your letter and for your honesty I appreciate that you told me about yourself right away. I can see that you are concerned about the age difference between us. But age is not a problem for me. On the contrary, I think that at your age you already know what you want from a relationship. You don't play games, you don't rush things, you're honest and straightforward. That's exactly the kind of man I'm looking for in a relationship. I'm tired of games. Maybe you'll give our communication a chance? Maybe it will lead to something more. I hope you're still looking for a serious relationship?
I hope you'll think about what I've said. Let me tell you a little about myself, in case you change your mind.
First of all, I want to say that for now I can only write to you from my work computer when I have free time at work. But I want to reassure you right away this is temporary. The thing is, my phone broke last week. I accidentally dropped it on a concrete floor, and the screen was badly damaged. I took it in for repair, and they told me it would take 12–15 days to fix. As soon as my smartphone is repaired and returned to me, our communication will become much more convenient and easier. I want to believe that you won't mind communicating in this format for a while. In fact, maybe it's even for the best. I already had one unpleasant experience when I gave my phone number to someone I didn't know very well. After that, I had to block all my bank cards and change my phone number. I'm probably too trusting... Is that good or bad? I don't know yet. That's why it's important for me to get to know you better through correspondence here before moving on to more personal contact. I really hope you understand.
As you already know, I am 45 years old. I was born on 6 December 1980. I am 168 cm tall. I don't have any children, even though I was once married.
I have been single for a long time now, and I feel that I am ready for a new relationship. I live alone, separately from my parents. I am the only child in my family; I have no brothers or sisters. I live in a small village called Suusamyr. If you are interested, I can try to find my location on maps on the internet and show you.
Despite the fact that I live in Kyrgyzstan, I have a strong desire to find a man from outside my country, and there are reasons for this. The cultural characteristics and traditions of my country simply do not suit me, especially when it comes to relationships between men and women. I have encountered situations where I was not understood or respected because I do not share the traditional views on the role of women in Kyrgyz families. In my country, 90% of the population is Muslim. I am not comfortable with Muslim men because of their attitude towards women. They believe that a woman is a servant who must obediently carry out all her husband's orders.
I am not a Muslim; my faith is Christianity. My grandmother was German and my grandfather was Latvian. My mother is Russian and my father is Kazakh. But my father's parents were also of different nationalities. So I have the blood of many nationalities flowing through my veins. As fate would have it, my parents stayed in Kyrgyzstan, but none of my relatives were Muslim. I don't have anything against Muslims, but some situations really surprise me. For example, things like ‘blood feuds’ or the fact that a husband can kill his wife for some kind of misdemeanour. Yes, he will be sent to prison. But the very fact that people think this is normal really bothers me. That is why I accepted the offer of a good friend of mine who has been living abroad for a long time, in the hope that, thanks to the internet, I will find someone who shares my values and views. Honesty, mutual understanding and respect are important to me. Based on my experience, these are some of the most important qualities. Unfortunately, it is rare to meet a sincere and honest person these days.
I realise that this letter is getting quite long, but I want to write about my work. Maybe my job is not the most interesting, but I like it. I work as an accountant for the Suusamyr Valley Livestock Breeders' Association ‘Suusamyr’ . Our company is involved in agriculture. We breed livestock and grow crops. I have quite a few tasks. Starting from bookkeeping and payroll to interacting with the tax office, banks and other enterprises. It's difficult but very interesting.
I work five days a week, occasionally on Saturdays. My work computer has an internet connection, so I can write to you when I have free time during the working day. The office of the company I work for is located in the neighbouring village of Kojomkul. Every morning I have to take the bus. Fortunately, it only takes 20 minutes.
Well, in my letter I have told you quite a lot about my life. I think you understand that I also want to know more about you, so I will wait for a similar story about you. That's all for now. I look forward to your reply!
Yours sincerely, Meerim
