Reports :

I am a 48 yr. male I use Match.Com and was approached by Malina, I was very careful and put little things in my e-mails that she should have responded to. Waiting for the other shoe to drop was all I needed I don't have the first letter but it was much the same as I have read in the other Black Lists. This is the earliest letter... She started using the :-) after I used them. I never responded to the last letter (but ever so tempted) ;-) Letter 1 I am really glad to receive your message again. Thank you. At first I want to apologize for not writing sooner. I have been really busy with my tests and work last days. Everything is all right here with me. Now I have a little free time to reply you. ;-) Last days I have thought a lot of my future. What will it be? :-) I am not afraid of new things and people. I enjoy having a new experience in my life. But I want a new experience to be positive. And it makes me a little watchful. I have some plans for my future and I want to share them with you. I think you can understand my uncertainty. I consider myself enough mature person to adapt myself to new environment, culture and people. But at the same time I would like to have a close friend in the new place just to talk or discuss something or ask for suggestions. Jeff you see I'd like to have the friend in the USA to come there and work in the nearest hospital. I wish to be close to his place or maybe the same city or town to be able to meet and spend time together. It would be great if you could be this person. :-) I see we don't know each other yet. But I hope we will learn about each other more in the correspondence before our first meeting. ;-) Well, I'll tell you a little about me and my family. And I hope to hear your story in return. I was born in Kirovsk and I have been living here all my life. My father is Ukrainian by origin and my mother is Russian. My father is the person who can't sit at the place for a long time. He is a scientist and he goes a lot all over the country. He studies the languages of the little peoples in Russia. Now he and my mother live in Siberia. My mother is a doctor and I go after her. :-) My parents are good people but they are a little strange in a sense. When I went to school and studied at the university they lived here in Tosno. My mother worked at the hospital where I do now. And my father went on business once a month. After I graduated from the university they left for Northen Siberia and I started the life on my own. They live in a small Yakut settlement now. I don't blame them for anything. They are great parents and they gave me everything they could do. I was given good education and upbringing. I call them sometimes. But they are so far away and never come here. My father dedicated his life to the science. And my mother is his true partner. I know they are happy together, they love each other, they love me. I just feel a little alone without them. :-) I'd like to have the same partner in my life as my mother and father are for each other. I don't have any brother or sister. Just a few relatives in Ukraine that I have never seen. Last 7 years I have been living alone. I know it is the time to create the family. I have had some strong relationships in my life but for some reasons they always failed. I don't think I am too critical and I don't idealize my husband. I just want a good guy in my life to share my success and problems. I know the people are different and it is great. Everyone is unique and can give something to others. What do I want in my life?... :-) To be happy, have family and careful husband. I want simple things. I am looking for the full life. I'd like to meet the person who can love, respect and understand his mate. I want the man who can believe in me and help me. Who can support me in creating new life, family and business... I havn't told you yet about my dream... :-) I want to start my own business one day. I'd like to practise medicine and I think I could work as a private stomatologist, open my own dental room or maybe a clinic. :-) I think everyone should deal with his own business in the life. It is not like to get some job to earn money. It is the business for life. It must give you satisfaction and income. It must be useful for people and for you. That's why I am coming to the USA. I see America as a country of the great opportunities. Jeff I just don't want to look like a careerist looking for big money. Not at all. I want to live comfortable life and be completely satisfied with my spiritual life. Unfortunately Russia is not the place where everyone can do it. Possibly I am mistaken in something but I have enough energy to overcome it. I'd like to dedicate my life to my husband and my family not to my work... Well I must close my letter here. Please, let me know what you think about my thoughts. Hope you havn't tired too much of reading that. :-) Yours, Malina. p.s. I send you a picture of my parents. And one another of me. It was taken last summer. Letter 2 Hello Jeff. I havn't written you for a while. I am sorry. I know I had to think about you and just write you a short note earlier. I had a problem I must solve before I write you anything. I know you worry for me. As you see from the subject of my letter things doesn't smile at me. I am sad and confused. I don't want to tell it to you. I know you want to meet me. But I will be unable to come to the US by my own. I need a sponsor to pay my travel. Jeff I want to describe the situation in detail. In my last letter I told you I would have a talking with Genady about funding my travel by trade union. I met him and he said that our trade union will not pay my travel. I asked why and how it may be? They carry out this exchange program without funding it? He said it is not right. Our government arranges traveling papers, visas, contract with American government. They also pay salary and provide place for living for american doctors coming to work in Russia. Travel expenses must be covered from local hospital budget or our trade union. My hospital refused to pay travelling and trade union can't pay for it too because Moscow didn't send money. Genady said it is because of the non-coordination of our government. I asked him what can I do? He said I can pay my travel by my own or find a sponsor. I must pay only my travel to the USA. When I get there I will be paid by american government. Well, I asked him how much I must pay. When he said the sum I was really confused. It is $950 USD. I knew I didn't have such sum and I even can't borrow it from someone here. Genady was very sorry for me. He said such things happen often. The government conduct some program and doesn't fund it. Genady also said the department gave the date of the flight. The flight is on May 17. So I have some time to find money. After the talking I went to bank trying to get a loan. But when they leant I was coming to the USA they refused to me. I talked to my friends trying to find money but I knew they didn't have such sum. This is my salary for 6 months. I tryed to ask for sponsorship in some commercial companies but they don't want to deal with me without any profit. Genady said I need to find a private sponsor and I thought about you. Jeff I didn't want to ask you for any help. I wanted to do everything by my own. But I don't have any other options. You know my plane is on May 17. I must be in Moscow with money by this time. I will fly to the USA if I have money and I won't fly in other cases. I have not enough time to find money here and I want to ask you to be my sponsor. Jeff I understand everything you may think about me. I hate asking people for money and I always try to do everything by my own. But now I really need your financial assistance. I estimated everything. I will reimburse you this sum in one month. I also can pay you extra money back. I will work in your state for sure. I don't know where yet but I'll try to be as close as possible. I will learn the hospital in New York city and I'll call you from there. I will earn at least $3300 a month and I will have a place to live. You see I will be able to return you the money. Jeff you are the only man I know in the USA. I don't want to mix our relationship and money. But I don't have anyone else to ask for this help. I know if things even will not work out between us we will remain good friends. I don't want to lie you and say that I love you. I can't say it to a man I have never met. But you must know that I have the warmest feelings for you and I want to develop them. You know what this travel means for me. It is my only chance to come to America and start new life. It also maybe new life start for you... or for us. I am honest woman and I honestly tell you that I will never hurt you or cheat you. I will be there for ten months. This is more than enough to make a decision about us. Jeff I have already told you about my plans for future. I want to come to the USA, earn some money to start my own business and find good man to love each other and enjoy our life together. I think I have already found this man... Smile. YOU. When I heard from Genady that my future ruined I was so stressed and confused. I don't want to give it up. I still have my hope. You are the only man who can help me. Jeff, be my sponsor! Help me to overcome it, please. I will wait for your answer with all my hope. Yours truly. Darya p.s. You can see my passport. I scaned it for our department and decided to send you a copy. I got it in January and the picture is not too good. :-)
