Their fashion sense is far superior to our standards of fashion
-- but don’t let the great looks worry you.
They are as sweet and down-to-earth as you might possibly dream in your greatest fantasy -- They are for real!!! Scammers are not tolerated on this site. Read here weekly about Tips (do’s and dont’s).
Don’t assume you know everything. YOU DON’T!

This is a special page to tell the story of average just plain men who found beautyful, wonderful, traditional, old fashion ladies on Elena’s web site. It is reliable and they make sure their women are for real with you. There are many tips, however, that you should know to be successful.

#1 START BY CLICK ON A WOMAN WHO INTEREST YOU AND CHECK HER PROFILE.

#2 SIGN UP FOR FREE.

#3 Click the link at the bottom of the page to read the truth about Russian, Ukrainian, and other Eastern European women.

#4 You can email me and ask about my personal exploits.

I will add to both Inna-Savina.com websites each week. n these things weekly on this site and on some of my other web sites.

YES, YES, YES! It will cost something to write to these women when you are ready.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE RICH, BUT WOMEN DON’T LIKE CHEAP!!!!!! They can tell if you are too cheap to pay the sign up fee to write to them, and that is their first clue about how stable you are. They do not forget such things, because financially stable is the main thing they want in a man.

#5 ...BUT DON’T GIVE OR SEND ANY OF THEM MONEY OR VALUABLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND DON’T GET TAKEN IN BY SAD, SOB, STORIES ABOUT NOT HAVING THIS OR NOT HAVING THAT -- OR OTHER SUCKER CATCHERS.
Most of these women are sincere, but a few have been kicked off the site for manipuling clients. DON’T BE STUPID! BUT DON’T RUIN A GROWING RELATIONSHIP BY BEING UNTRUSTING AND SUSPICIOUS.

#6 Don’t try to buy the woman. Don’t try to impress her with how much you have and own. It’s just as stupid as #5. Here is a helpful letter written by a woman that tells what women want to know in your first contacts. How to write your first letters to East European women.

Stay tuned if your ego is not too big. I’ll share more info weekly. It may save your a_s in a fire fight. Oooops I slipped into some military jargon.

Read this news article about the Russian Parliament trying to stop it. The women want YOU! There are not enough men to go around there. The ones that are available have some heavy issues, so the women don’t want that kind of life. If you have some heavy issues, FORGET ABOUT IT!
These women have enough problems without yours.
They are not stupid and they are not uneducated; quite the contrary --
they simply live in an under developed continent.
The are not however unhappy.
They ARE looking for BETTER.

Speaking of sticking your foot in your mouth…

Men and women have always struggled to find each other across East and West.
You think I mean Easter Europe and Western Europe, but remember it happened in the Unites States when men moved West and tried to entice women to come West to be their wives in the early years of America. Probalbly that is where the term originated after women put their profiles and photos in mail order catalogs (Sear? I think). If you think these women in Eastern Europe are mail order brides, GET A CLUE. The Internet is full of Dating Sites that are nothing more than women and men trying to hook up over a distance and trying to extend their reach. It is a SEXIST statement to say that this is exploitation of women when there are as many if not more men putting their profiles on line too. Do you know how many dating Internet sites there are now? Well, I don’t either, but there are hundreds. The most familiar and the most popular are Match.Com, Yahoo.Com Personals, and my email box is full of at least a dozen others. New ones are popping up all the time and some advertise regularly on T.V. I get emails from women all over the world and throughout the United States and it is wonderful. Unfortunately, I did not connect with the person who rang my bell until, I met Inna on the Internet in Ukraine. I visited her in July of 2005. It was wonderful and very proper. Oh, yes… it was also fun. It was a great trip and affordable. It was by no means a sexual exploitation of any kind. I am so enriched for having met her and we will be married as soon as the visa get approved and she arrives here. Yes, I am marrying “up”, because she is many years younger than me and beautiful. That’s what I wanted along with the other wonderful qualities that I have witness first hand such as warmth, freshness, family closeness, concern for her man, tenderness, fun, etc. I could go on and on. For what ever reason the grass always seems greener on the other side. The greater the distance the more exotic and exciting it becomes to explore and meld with some differences that do indeed “ATTRACT”. From a genetic standpoint, marrying and reproducing outside of the immediate gene pool is what has kept human beings alive and strengthens us. The closer the gene pool that one marries into, the more genetic weakness the offspring and future generations may have. That’s why we do not marry our sisters, brothers, and close cousins. I know you know this, but I am trying to make a point. The greatest opponents of finding a bride overseas by Internet is the women in your own country. It appears to be an afront to them —a rejection. They are having enough issues with not finding the right man; and now they are losing thousands of good men to women thousands of miles away.

This excerpt from a report done by the esteemed researcher and writer, Donna M. Hughes Ph.D, links this to sexual exploitation and categorizes it as Mail Order Brides. It dumps the subject right in the middle of other forms of sexual exploitation of women including prostitution, pimping, child abuse, porn sites, on-line-live adult, etc. It is an absolute injustice to the women and men who are trying to find each other by one of the most wonderful tools to-date — The Internet. Do not get me wrong. From what I read of her extensive report, she should be applauded for her work at bringing sexual exploitation to light and documenting so many details. Often, as in this case, the INNOCENT are executed with the GUILTY ; and that is WRONG!

Here is the excerpt from her report: “Mail-order-bride catalogues on the Internet advertise that they will assist a man in finding a “loving and devoted” woman whose “views of relationships have not been ruined by unreasonable expectations." The women advertised on the Internet are “known to be pleasers and not competitors. They are feminine, NOT feminist.” The bride traffickers rely heavily on ethnic and racial stereotypes of the women, while condemning American and European women. One mail-order-bride trafficker explained why American women are no longer desirable to American men and Filipina women preferable: “It is less common to find an American woman who is interested in having a permanent marriage and family including a Husband. One easy way to see this is to look at ANY publication containing “personals” ads. The women want someone who looks a certain way, and who has certain “social skills” such as dancing or clever conversation, someone who is interesting and exciting and seductive. Now… look at what the girls say they want. It’s all pretty simple, really. Over and over they state that they are happy to settle down FOREVER with a MAN who is willing to try to hold down a steady job and be a loving and understanding husband and father. This will get you exactly NOWHERE with an American girl !!!!!"[159]

The collapse of the Soviet Union and the formation of new independent states have created political turmoil, economic crisis, poverty and high unemployment. Women have been the hardest hit through the loss of institutional stability. In Russia, 6.5 million women are without jobs, and employed women’s salaries were only 43 percent of men’s salaries. Violence against women is a severe problem. An estimated 14,000 women are killed each year by their husbands or relatives.[160] A law against family violence has yet to be passed and there are only two shelters for battered women in Russia. These circumstances make women desperate for opportunities. The traffickers, pimps, and mail-order-bride agencies take advantage of this vulnerable population to recruit them into many types of trafficking.

One of the commonly promoted characteristics of women from Eastern Europe is that they “traditionally expect to marry gentlemen that are 10 to 20 years older."[161] An agent offering women from Russia also explained the disadvantages of American women and advantages of Russian women:

There is a surplus of beautiful women in their 20’s and 30’s who cannot find a decent man. An attractive 25-year-old woman with a good education in the US is out of reach for most men over 35. In Russia women greatly outnumber the available men. Many women in the US are spoiled by having it too good all their lives and have very confused values. Experience show [sic] us that Russian women come to relationships with much different expectations.[162]”

So, although many of the statements are reasonably true, it is a one sided argument where honest men and women have had no opportunity to balance the discussion. I am including here some success stories. These are just a few of the 10’s of thousands of men and women who are finding each other an years of happiness through the magic of the Internet matching. It is unfortunated that some people try to de-humanize these romances that lead to loving relationships, fulfillment, and good, strong families. There are pitfalls to watch out for. I write about some of them here. Oh, by the way, sign up and pay! Don’t be a cheapskate women have alway sought men who are doing well in life, but you do not have to be rich. It is okay is you are wealthy of course, but hide this fact, until you know you have the right one. Sell yourself; not what you have.

MAINLY, show some real interest. Do not just talk about YOU!!!! See the link to ”How To Write Your First Letter”. Men who generally are successful with women know these things. Losers don’t know these things, but they can learn.

Thank you, I will be in touch with updates and God Bless, you have them all beat by a long shot.

Also, there were some new girls who were joining when Flora and I happened to be in the office with Yuri, and they had an opportunity to see how Flora and I were. I think it helped things a lot that they were able to see us together.

Again, thank you and God Bless.

Dear Elena’s Models, 

My story is very special to me and it is unusual. It is special because I have met and fallen in love with the most spectacular woman. Thank you to Elena’s Models for bringing us together. And it is unusual because she wrote to me as soon as I became a member.

I had been a member of an American dating site with little success. One day in the spring of this year I received an invitation from a Russian lady to correspond through this American site. I began to correspond but was suspicious if this person was for real. I began to do some research and was led to your site and the blacklist section after doing a search on the lady’s email address. After reading through the blacklist I determined that this person was a fraud.

By now my interest in possibly meeting a real Russian lady was sparked. This was in part to reading the testimonials and information on your site. Let me tell everyone out there that if I can do this you can too. I signed up and posted my profile to your site. Soon after I received a letter from a very special lady named Elena. I thank God for her every day, and this is not enough because she has been the biggest blessing in my life since the birth of my children. The unusual part is that she is the very first lady that I started correspondence with through your site. I feel that this could only have happened because of God. I pray that God will bless Elena’s Models staff for making this possible. I have fallen verrrry deeply in love with her. The feeling of love began even before I traveled to met her and since spending marvelous ten days with her my feelings and commitment to her are unending. She really is a dream come true. I have had many difficulties in my life and I told her about them and she has been very supportive and loving. I have felt more love from her then I can ever remember receiving from anybody. She is funny, intelligent, and a very deep thinker, we think very similar thoughts, sometimes even at the exact same moment, it is very special. In case any men out there are curious, she has real faith in God, and if you are looking for a lady like this they do exist in Russia. To make a long story shorter I have found my second part. Looking into Elena’s eyes is the most wonderful thing in the world.

We are very happy and plan to get married and start a family as soon as possible. Thanks again Elena’s models and may God truly bless you!

Sincerely,
David (USA)

Hello,

I would just like to say I have had a wonderful experience in using you service. My fiancee Irina found me on your site and we have been writing since June. I just returned from Omsk, Russia from visiting her and she is the most wonderful woman I have ever met. We discussed marriage even before I went to see her and took an engagement ring with me. We got to know each other so well that she invited me to stay with her while I was there. My visit was from September 12, 2005 to September 22, 2005. We spent each day together and it was so wonderful to be with her. I took my laptop with me with translation software so that we could communicate with each other. I have been studying the Russian language for 2 months which helped and she also has been studying English which also helped us communicate with each other. All the people I met were just wonderful and so friendly. I met Irina’s mother and brother and everybody was just so nice. I am so happy that I used your service to put my profile so that it was possible for Irina to write to me about her interest in me. 

When I wrote back to Irina for the first time I wrote to her about where I lived and that I lived next to my parents. She wrote back to me about her concern about being the hostess in our home and wished me good luck in my search. I wrote to other woman but could not get her out of my mind because she was so interesting to me. I eventually wrote back to her telling her about how my parents did not live with me which she thought and that there would be no problem in her being the hostess in our home. After she understood everything we wrote to each other each day and fell in love. It only took me about a month of writing to know that I loved her so much and that she felt the same way about me. I only went to see her and no other woman and it worked out just great because I confirmed my love for her and how much she really loves me. I am so happy that I met Irina and I took visa papers with me and she filled out so she can come to America. We plan to get married as soon as she gets to come to America. 

Irina is such a good woman and I could not be happier. I would like to thank Elena’s Model site for making it possible for us to find each other and fall in love. We both had such a wonderful time with each other while I was there. We visited the agency in Omsk which has to do with Elena’s and talked with each other with the help of an interpreter. With the help of the translation software we were able to communicate very well. 

Thank you so much again, 
Danny and Irina

27 September 2005

Thank you,
Thank you feels like such a very simple expression for something so wonderful as finding one’s true love. I started on your site over a year ago and I emailed Emilia my first time out. We corresponded for almost one year when we decided we knew each other enough to meet in person. August 23 I few in to Kiev and Emilia and her whole family was there to greet me. We spent a 4 days in Kiev getting to know each other, discovering she was so much more then I had ever expected. By the end of the week I was just amazed by her. On our 7th day together I proposed to her in Yalta, Ukraine, she said yes. Then back to visit with her family to celebrate our engagement. Then we flew off to Turkey for 13 days. We celebrated our 1 year anniversary on September 15 together in Turkey. I stayed one month in Ukraine and Turkey with her. We just started out process for the K-1 Visa. 

So Emilia and I want to thank you for being out there to help two people meet and find that someone special who was missing in our lives. She is the most incredible woman. Your site gave us the chance to find what was missing in our lives. Never in my life have I met a more loving, funny, intelligent, and so much woman. I could write forever how she makes me feel but this is just a short note to say thank you and to tell you just a small part of our love story. I will keep you updated. I am sending a few photos of our adventures. 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
Michael in Utah, USA & Emilia in Ukraine

26 September 2005

Greetings Elena and everyone at your agency;

I would like to say thank you. Back in early June of 2005 I posted a profile with your agency. As I started this process, I read much of the information on your site. I am grateful for all your advice and your book. As you had said to look for the certain girl and not just look to photos. With all this I am happy to say I have met my Svetlana. She is the most wonderful woman I could ever have hoped to meet. From the very beginning there was always something special about her. The more we corresponded the more special she became. To make a long story short. We met in September. Not only was she everything I have always searched for but far more. On September 15, 2005 we were engaged and are now in process of her visa. As of today I do not have photos to send you but I will keep you posted on our progress. I do wish to say to all the wonderful women searching through your agency, I hope you will find the happiness you seek. It is all possible if you are sincere and believe. 

To all the men searching. Read Elena’s book, it is invaluable!!! Take her advice and be realistic and you will find the most incredible woman you have ever thought possible. Again, thank you so much. 

Jim in Michigan U.S.A.

Dear Elena,

Svetlana and I thank you for your help in finding each other. Right from the beginning of our correspondence we knew we were true soulmates. We wrote to each other every day and our feelings towards each other grew day by day. A feeling we both never had experienced before. We kept on writing, exchanging pictures and our desire to meet each other in real life was endless. The day we finally met is a day we never forget. Our dreams became true from the first minute we saw each other and our hearts have become one. We got married in Novosibirsk and we now started immigration procedure to spend our lives in love and happiness together. We are both human beings, in love and happily married, but we can not understand the difficult procure we have to go through to be together as husband and wife. 

We thank you once again for giving us the opportunity to meet each other and I am determined to donate your agency for all you have done for us and your good work for others looking for happy lives.

Dear Elena,
Thank you for your e.mail. I would like to let you know that I have been in contact with with a lovely Russian woman that I met on your website in November last year. I read her profile and took your advice that I read in your e.mails. I have just returned from spending 9 wonderful days in Prague with her and we have decided to spend the rest of our lives together. At the moment we are in the process of organizing all the documentation to achieve that result.

I would like to thank you and your staff, particularly Kate, for helping me meet such a wonderful woman and offer invaluable advice.

P.S. Since I sent this e.mail 01/07/05, I have been to Europe again and met with Elena in Moscow and then travelled to Samara where we were married on 03/09/05. I am enclosing some pictures of our wedding. Thanks so much again.

Yours sincerely,

I recently spent my vacation in Romania with Alina, the most extraordinary woman I have ever met and, I hope, my future wife.

I could say my time with Alina was a roaring success, a wonderful, life-altering, life-affirming experience -- but these are terrible understatements that fall far short of what happened between us. I could try to describe her, but she is beyond description. I’ll simply say: in our time together in Romania and our 4+ hours per day communicating with each other through Yahoo Messenger and Skype (video, audio and text) before and since my trip -- we each found our other half.

I’ve had many dreams over the years that withered away with age -- battered by painful experience, eroded by cynicism, shattered by divorce. And then there are those dreams I lacked the imagination to conceive. Almost all have been revived. Almost all have come true, and -- G*d willing -- so will the rest. :)

I am forever indebted to you.

I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to visit Bacau and say "thank you" face-to-face -- a gesture of appreciation that would have, in any case, fallen far short of my profound gratitude.

In any case, I hope to stop by on a future trip to Romania. You’re doing such good work, bringing soulmates across borders together -- people who truly love each other, people willing to give their all to each other and enrich each other’s lives in countless ways. It’s so wonderful that frustrated and disenchanted American men here and frustrated and disenchanted Russian and Eastern European women over there are able to find that special someone that we’ve been unable to find in our own lands. Thank you for bringing us all together.

I will speak highly of your service to others and wish the very best to all of you.

Well it only took one look and bang it hit me! I wasn’t looking for a woman as young as I found, but she made the first contact, had I looked at her profile, I would have disregarded it because I thought at 17 years older she was too young for me. Anyhow out of respect I answered her, we got talking and found it easy to communicate with each other. I said I would come to see her in Russia. I don’t think she believed me until I sent a scan of my plane tickets. I went to Russia, we get engaged in three weeks time in Turkey. Thanks to Elena’s Models, my love came through your agency.

Julia and I wish to thank Elena’s Models for helping us find each other. I just returned from a wonderful and romantic 10-day trip to Ukraine to meet Julia. We are deeply in love and are engaged to be married. We are now working on Julia’s fiancee visa. I am from USA and Julia is from Ukraine. In mid-June of 2005, I found Julia on your site. From our very first correspondence, I knew that Julia was special. We share the same values, goals, interests and sense of humor. Julia speaks English and I speak just a little Russian. We are both family-oriented. After exchanging numerous daily e-mail letters, Julia and I began speaking by telephone every day. With each letter and with each telephone conversation, we grew closer. I had a very strong feeling about Julia and made arrangements to meet her. In late July of 2005, I traveled to Ukraine to meet Julia. Julia was kind enough to meet me at the airport in her home city. She was even more beautiful in person than she was in her photos ... and she was quite beautiful in her photos! Our time together was perfect. I proposed to Julia after just one day! I knew she was the one for me. And, thankfully, Julia felt the same way about me and accepted. I met Julia’s mom and sister, both of whom made me feel very welcome. Our time together in Ukraine, including a most romantic trip to Crimea on the Black Sea, was the most romantic time of my life. I treasure every minute, every second, I am with Julia. She is the woman of my dreams. We are true soul mates. We are so grateful to Elena’s Models for helping us find each other. It must be destiny. Julia and I say to Elena’s Models: Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! While our current separation is agonizing, Julia and I will be together soon.

Again I want to Thank You for helping us find each other. I had no idea that with one letter a chain of events would happen that would lead to finding such a wonderful woman. Savina and I plan to marry on July 10 and have our honeymoon in Las Vegas. I have attached some pictures of the happy couple.

Thanks again,
Ronald

You will be pleased to know both Annie and I are very happy you enabled us to connect. 

I had received numerous responses to a personal ad, most of which were through other marriage agencies. In the course of communicating with a few women, it became very clear that the marriage agencies’ primary goal was make money off of the men who wrote to their women. I’m happy to pay for a legitimate service, but it seemed as though some of those agencies did not desire the women to get married, but were only concerned with squeezing the men for every dollar or euro they could get. Additionally, I was prohibited from communicating with one woman directly and had to always go through the agency she used. She had signed a contract with them prohibiting direct contact. Several letters from her had the flavor of being written by someone at the agency and not the woman herself. With the other agencies, I also found that women who claimed to speak English a little may not speak it at all. In what may have been what sales people call "bait and switch", I received one very nice response to my ad from an attractive and smart woman a little younger than myself. She seemed perfect and I wrote back to her saying as much. Then I received a letter from her marriage agency stating that this particular woman was very temperamental and would not write me again, but they had many other women I was sure to be interested in and I could join their agency for a small fee. 

With Elena’s Models, I communicated with women directly and could quickly ascertain if we were compatible. In a very short period I stumbled upon Annie and she and I developed an instant rapport. When I met her in Bulgaria, I discovered to my amazement that she and I got along better than I could have dreamed. She is like a dream come true, and I know she feels the same way about me. You have an excellent service. Keep up the good work!

Elena,

We corresponded a few times while I was searching for my future wife. The last letter I sent you said we were awaiting the K-1 approval. Now, I am sending some wedding pictures. Svetlana and I were married in Arizona on March 5th. It was a long process for us, as we both wanted to make sure this was the correct move before we tied the knot. After writing for almost one and a half years and visiting her four times (including one time in Jamaica) over that 18 month period, we finally sent in our application, received our approval, and had her come over in December. By March we had received visas for her family to come to the wedding, which made it so much nicer for her than if we were married shortly after she arrived but without her family. Thank you so much for your service. I hope you like the wedding pictures, and give you permission to use them as you wish for your site, if so desired.

Dear Elena’s Models,

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! With your help My wife and I found each other. 

After communicating for 7 months I went to Ufa, Russia to visit her. After 3 days I asked her to marry and she said yes! This was August 2003.

With September 11 the American government slowed down the visa process. I visited her again in January 2004, then we finally married in September 2004.

I took the advice of Elena. I wanted to rise above my potential competition, and her suggestions helped me to succeed.

I wanted to write more quickly but as you can imagine we have been very busy beginning our new life.

Thank you so much! We will be saying this for the rest of our lives.

We would be happy to be a reference for other potential clients.

Sincerely yours,
Mark and Maria Blanchard (USA)

Hello Elena and everybody who works in your great agency!

My name is Svetlana Kovalenko and I was the member of your site. I am writing to you to share my happiness and thank you for helping me to find my soul mate.

Nick saw my profile on your website. We were corresponding for 6 months, and then he came to visit me in Russia for 1 month. When it was the time to say "Good bye" at the airport, we were both crying like kids and promised to each other that we will be together very soon. We did as we promised and already in 4 weeks I was in England. Nick is in army and serves here now. Never in my life I was so happy. Every day for me is like a wonderful fairy-tale, I go to sleep and get up with the smile on my face.

Yesterday we bought the wedding rings. We plan to get married in April later this year. 

Thank you very much, I will never forget who helped me to find my happiness. I recommend your agency to all my girlfriends. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you success in your business. Please continue bringing happiness to people.

With love,
Svetlana Kovalenko (England)

Dear Elena,

I am writing to thank you for helping me find the love of my life. Elvira (# 10055) and I began to communicate via email and then by telephone in February of 2004. I flew to Vladivostok to meet her and her beautiful daughter and her parents in mid April and then flew back again in August and spent a month with them. She and her daughter landed in Houston on November  9th. and we were married in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 15, 2004. Thank you so very much. Attached are photograph of our wedding.

I first met my wife through your web-site, and we are both sublimely happy. Thank you very much. I owe you my life. I am an Australian man and my wife is a pretty Russian lady from Uzbekistan. Please find our wedding photos attached. We were married in Sydney on 8-Jan-2005.

The quality of the ladies listed on your web-site, from the point of view of being measured as a prospective wives, is vastly superior to the local available ladies. Thank you once again.

I think Elena’s Models is the best organized and most reliable marriage agency on the Internet. I was surprised how many girls have their profiles posted there - all of them beautiful and smart and talented. And I must admit: the money I paid to obtain Ksenia’s address was nothing compared to the happiness and true love I found. It was the best investment of my life!

Through the ad I took out in September I believe I have found the right lady and we are making arrangements for us to meet sometimes after the first of the year. If the meeting goes well and I know it will we will be getting married sometime towards the end of next year. Thank you I have found my dream lady that I could not find here in the USA.

Thank You

Privet, Elena!

My name is Robert and I am an American living in Florida. I advertised myself with you last year and received over 700 Emails and at least 60 by regular post. 

I started corresponding with a Russian girl from Yoshkar-Ola near Kazan. She was interesting but was not my Soul Mate. She tried to convince me to come to Russia with another American guy who was coming to see her best friend. I did not go to Russia then but she gave me his Email address anyway. I became friends with him and he referred me to a Russian guy who introduced me to my Fiance. I spent a whole month in Russia this past June and I love your country and it’s people. We toured nine Russian cities. I made many new friends and look forward to going back again soon. I have been learning Russian with the hopes of carrying a longer conversation with my Fiance’s Parents and family. They are excited at hearing me speak a little Russian.

My Fiance is on the train to Moscow now for her interview. I wanted to thank you for all of the information you provide on your web site, Elena. It was very helpful.  It takes a lot of courage to make the trip but it can change your life
forever... I am very very happy and look forward to being reunited with my
"LApushka" soon. We have been apart 5 months now but talk on the phone twice a day. My Fiance quit her job for me to study English full time. She has also taken car driving lessons, swim lessons, and even completed manicure lessons. She just gave up her apartment this week. I really admire her dedication and it makes me want to work that much harder to make her happy. 

I think having mutual respect, honesty, and admiration is a great way to start a marriage.

Thank you again for all of your help Elena.
You helped another couple find happiness.

Sincerely,
Robert (Orlando, Florida, USA)

My name is Terry and I met 1 of the ladies listed on your site and after e-mailing a bit and talking on the telephone we met in her city. We are engaged and will be married when she receives her K-1 visa. Thank you for being there and making both of our dreams of finding someone and having a family together possible.

Hello,

I used your service about 8 months ago and I would like to say I am very thankful of the quality on how your company operates. For every 10 girls that I wrote to that I have met through your service, about 7 have responded with interest back to me. Eventually, a couple hundred girls later, I finally found Ekaterina N. where we instantly “clicked”. We have a tremendous amount in common and have talked to each other by phone almost every day since the middle of last February. I traveled to St. Petersburg to meet with her at the end of March and fell in love with her there. 

I again want to thank you for your web site and because of it I will be a very happily married guy!!

God Bless,
Steve P.

P.S. Enclosed is a photo of when we were in St. Petersburg, Russia. We will be married by the court first this Wed. and then later on we will have a real ceremony. The court wedding is just so we can get the AOS going since this is a long process. Thus, our court wedding will be Nov 10, this Wed.

You may add this to your growing list of accolades. Our story is a little different from others, in that I was exceedingly lucky to have been able to  meet Tanya in person while here in the US. We were able to avoid the whole process of visits there then visits here and the cumbersome visa process,  and had a surprisingly smooth ride through the process of marriage and  settling immigration status. Everyone should know that this is NOT the  norm. She is fluent in English, and the instant I met her I knew inside that "this is a keeper!" and insisted that she return to visit me, which she did. But I have to say a lot of this was sort of unusual, and the results really so unexpected we can call it sort of spontaneous, maybe --- who knows ---a miracle! First, she had the unique ability to travel freely to and from the USA, which MOST women from the former USSR do not. [This is a fact about which most people in this country appear to be completely oblivious; it is virtually impossible for a single woman from any country, these in particular, to obtain a tourist visa for reasons too complex to discuss here] Secondly, she as an attorney is extremely knowledgeable about both regulations and customs here and the suffocating regulatory apparatus there.

I started at the outset as a lonely divorced man perusing websites, out of combination of curiosity and desire, and there are many. I was in fact in active correspondence with a young lady who turned out to be a complete scam, and I suppose it is sort of amusing that Tanya was initially helping me by remotely reviewing the correspondence and pointing out the now obvious missteps and misleads. At that point it never occurred to me that I would actually meet her and that she would turn out, happily, to be my wife now for almost two years. I want also to thank Elena Petrova, who, astonishingly, wrote me a personal letter and some Emails that helped to quickly give me the real perspective on this adventure; I cannot strongly enough recommend her guide which can be downloaded and printed out at minimal cost. It should be required reading, a prologue which every male surfing the web and thinking about finding a life-partner should encounter first. One of the things apparent to me living with Tanya is that above and beyond these websites there is an even larger "word-of-mouth" network of women seeking life partners, and they keep in touch with one another. There are many shocking and sad stories, which in my mind have more to do with the great liability undertaken by these women finding men here in the USA. While men here should be warned about the "dangers" of seeking women there, I wonder if it may be more important for women there to be warned about the more significant problems of seeking men here, some of whom make me feel absolutely ashamed in what they do, have done, and continue to do in treating these women. I feel I have been blessed, with exceedingly good luck and fortune in finding Tanya, who was listed on this website. All my fears of her adjusting to the differences in age, culture, language, and so many other little but important things, such as children from my former marriage, have been completely laid to rest, but then I wonder if this is something specially unique to her, not just her "Russian character" as strong and as good as that is. I am attaching some photos you may use as freely as this note as an effusive and grateful testimony that as strange and odd as this may seem, that sometimes it really does work; and, that as in most things in life, taking one big risky leap can sometimes yield results so spectacularly successful that you wake up, as I do now, wondering if something so good is really real and true. The happy fact for me is that indeed, it is. For me it has been a life changing experience.

Hello John and Elena, I apologize for not getting back with you sooner. I have been intensely involved with a very real love affair with my Anastasia.

Yes, I have filed for the K-1 Visa. I used an attorney in Illinois through the internet after thorough investigation and questioning. I recently received confirmation with a case file number from the USCIS in Vermont. And the ride begins. I would like to thank you both for all the help before, during, and after my visit to the Ukraine. I would highly recommend to anyone that is serious about a relationship with a beautiful Russian Lady, that they consider only one special lady to spend time with. My time in Kiev with my Anastasia was intriguing, fascinating, intense, eye opening, and the most exciting experience of my life. If a man is really serious about finding the love of his life, it is impossible if you spend your time with more than one Lady. Anastasia and I first started our communications 3 months before our time in Ukraine. I thought I had grown to know her in this time frame. I was mistaken. The Lady that I spent the week with in the Ukraine was far more than I expected. Her profound inner beauty and pride far out weighed her outer beauty. I have never met a Lady quite like her and for this I am grateful. I knew this was the Lady I wanted to spend my life with. Since our time in Kiev we have become engaged and we communicate on a daily basis. I have collected all the required documents and filed for a K-1 Visa. We recently spent a very romantic and beautiful long weekend together in Jamaica. After this time together we knew that we must spend the rest of our lives together. I could go on and on but I will stop here. Words to the wise, if you are serious about finding your life partner, do not stereotype these Ladies. This will be the most beautiful and intense relationship you will ever experience.

Again, John and Elena, Thank you with all you help in finding the Lady of my Dreams.

Dear Elena and John: 

Upon my return from serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom, I decided to pursue a relationship with a Russian woman. Based on extensive research, I decided to contract with your agency to achieve my goals. I booked a romance tour to Kiev with the hopes of meeting a woman of exceptional beauty and character. Shortly before my scheduled tour, I began correspondence with Marina, a woman from Samara, Russia. With your assistance, we arranged to meet in Kiev. The beauty and charm of the city of Kiev combined with the extraordinary beauty and innumerable charms of Marina produced days that were magical. I was captivated by the city as well as by this goddess of Russian femininity. Your staff went beyond merely friendly and professional. The quality of their services and assistance was exceptional. Marina and I were not simply treated as clients, but as valued friends. I, personally, felt like a "member" of their family. The experiences provided me were priceless. I look forward to a long and lasting relationship, not only with my beloved Marina, but with your agency and the people who manage it. Special praise to Yuri, Irina and "Ira". My heartfelt thanks for your time, your advice and your caring. I will be eternally grateful.

I remain, a devoted client.

On July 23rd 2003, two people from opposite sides of the world lives changed forever.

The story starts even earlier when Yarina who lives in the Ukraine listening to the words of a palm reader was told that she would meet a good man from a different country, fall in love and go to live with him there. 

At the same time Wayne from New Zealand was having a dream and in this dream he meet the most wonderful lady in the world from a far off land. Although he knew he was dreaming when he woke a sense of excitement and something powerful drew him to his computer and he opened an email from Elena’s Models advising him of new ladies that had joined the agency. His heart beat so fast as he opened the page and in front of him was the lady that was in his dream that night smiling back at him. 

Without hesitation he wrote a letter that just flowed from his heart to this angel in red called Yarina. If he felt nervous when he hit the send button, his heart nearly stopped when he checked his computer the next day and found a reply from Yarina. 

From that moment on 2 people  from different worlds became so interested in learning everything they could about each other. Wayne recalls the first time he telephoned Yarina at her Grandmothers, "It was the sweetest voice I had ever heard, this is the lady I want to spend the rest of my life with". 

Yarina and Wayne meet in Odessa on September 14th 2004. The next 2 weeks were written directly from the pages of a beautiful romantic novel, proving that true romance is alive and not just for books or movies. On day 4 of their time together Wayne asked Yarina to join him forever in Marriage and Yarina said YES! Wayne met and instantly attached himself to Yarina’s family and friends and them to him. Wayne and Yarina then toured the Ukraine together and shared in the history and beauty of this amazing country. When the day came for Wayne to return to New Zealand, Yarina and Wayne could not bear to look at each other as neither wanted the dream to end. 

Yarina will join Wayne in New Zealand as soon as the paper work is completed to start a wonderful life thanks to the services of Elena’s Models. Their excitement has also flowed over to their families that now have an opportunity to be a part of cultures they would have otherwise never experienced. I am so pleased to be a part of this story...who am I? well I am the luckiest man in the World, engaged to Yarina, my name is Wayne :)  

could we also ask that Yarinas profile is taken off your database :)

Wayne (New Zealand)
P.S. I attach some photos of Yarina and myself, thank you for your wishes, we are so very happy.

05 October 2004

Dear Elena, I would like to share my joy with you: with your help, I found my happiness - 26 September [2004] we had our wedding (photos attached). In September last year I placed my profile on your site and already in November I met [my future husband] Marshall in Moscow (I am from Kazakhstan, Karaganda city). In April 2004 he visited me and 4 June [2004] the plane with my son and me on board landed in Chicago.  We had some misunderstandings; we are from different worlds and behave differently in the simplest situations. We also view things differently, even though I was learning American culture and English language at home for more than a year. But we managed to overcome all the problems, because we had that mutual desire to make our relationship work and the feeling that he (she) is that second half destined to you by Providence.

For already three months, people in my home city read my impressions about America (I am a journalist and send my articles and photos via Internet). Probably, one day I will compile them in a book where the most important idea will be: seek - and you shall find (your second half), knock - and doors shall open (try it, it will definitely work!!!), ask - and you shall receive (happiness that the women of my country really deserve!).

With my best wishes to your agency and its clients,

Mila Dvoretskaya/Lemme (USA)

Hi there. My name is Gene W00ldridge. I am writing for Elena # 12461 and also copying her on her email. We were married on Sept 10th at 12N in Evpatoria, Crimea, Ukraine. Please update this information so she will discontinue receiving letters from others. Here is a small photo from our wedding.

Dear Elena: 
Thank you for posting my ad in all the men’s magazines in Russia and Ukraine. I have had over 400 responses and I could no way ever answer them all, I answered about 30 and have narrowed it down to three very serious ones and one of them I believe strongly that we will be married within six months. 

I wish to thank you for all your help and advice you have given me.

Thank you,
Sincerely David (USA)

Dear Elena’s Models
Through your agency I have met a gentleman in UK and have spent the last few months living with him in England. We now want to make our relationship permanent.

Thank you for your wonderful service and help in bringing my wife and myself together. I first met Elena through your agency in September 2001. I then traveled to Elena’s home town of Kiev where I met her lovely family. Elena migrated to Australia and we were married in August 2003 with her mother and sister coming to Australia for our wedding. My love for Elena grows stronger with every day we are together.

Without your service I would never have met my dearest Elena and our lives would not hold so much joy and happiness.

Your service is excellent and brings people together in a way that makes for a fascinating life journey. We are hoping that some of Elena’s friends in Ukraine can also benefit from your service the way we have.

We have included a photo from our wedding.

Thank you once again. We are truly grateful for what you have done. Best wishes for the future and we hope to see you one day on the Gold Coast in Australia.

Love

Dear EM,

I’ve got to say that I am pleasantly impressed with your program. This is after surfing through your website for a couple of hours. I have finally found an "ethical" matchmaking website. Here are the things I like about your website so far:

--Strong Anti-scam policy
--Complete biographical info on women
--Good search engine (I like how I can both specify MY preferred age range, and ALSO simultaneously search HER preferred age range...this is a REAL plus!)
--Up to 50 results per page (saves time)
--You can search various time horizons (last 7 days, 14 days, etc.)
--The women on your site seem to complete their bio information more completely than other sites
--Heights/Weights are in BOTH metric and imperial measures
--Postal address, email, and phone are available (not so in most other sites)
--You have "special category" searches available (like models and doctors, etc.)
--You display "NO LONGER AVAIL" when the lady is not available (sometimes heartbreaking, but really a good thing)

My basic conclusion: The good ones become "NO LONGER AVAILABLE" pretty quickly, so it’s best to subscribe to the magazine/catalog and write the good ones as soon as possible. Then, be able to back it up quickly by going to see her in her country.

Anyway, I just wanted to say to all of you, "Good job, and keep up the good work." Also, thanks for being an ethical agency...it means a lot to me, and all the other guys out there trying to find a good wife. Believe me, your reputation will spread...

Sincerely,
Steve (Florida, USA)

Dear Elena, I am sitting here in Amsterdam waiting for my Russian Visa and then fly to Vladivostok and get married with my beautiful Russian future wife. I wish to thank you and all the girls from the agency in Vladivostok who helped me in keeping daily contacts with my future spouse.

Our relationship started last year and now almost a year later we have solid plans for our future. Your web site has brought to me this beautiful lady and her little daughter, they both mean a lot to me.

Elena (she has the same name as you) has been visiting me in Amsterdam, she enjoyed this experience and every single day spent together was a confirmation for both of us. We made the decision to live together in Amsterdam. However between what our earths feel and the regulations it can get a bit difficult to stay with the woman you would like to share your life, thus we made the decision to get married... in Russia, because it is easier and faster. Relatively easier and faster. Under this condition Elena will acquire the same rights and status which I have. This means she will join the European Union. 

Thank you so much, and keep up with this good work.

Elena,
You placed my ad in the papers and sites you said you would and I had a great response... !!! Actually, I have found my love..... and she saw my ad at your site......!!! Can we place my other ad on hold so that I stop getting emails.... over 50/week (average).

Thank you.

04 June 2004 

Hi -
Thanks to your site, I’ve met someone special...
I placed an ad with you last July, and after receiving quite a few emails (300+), I travelled to Russia in September 2003... went on a few dates in different cities and met some very nice ladies. In Ekaterinburg, I met Zhenya for a few hours and fell in love at first sight, although she was a little wary of me (as I found out a little later).

We didn’t actually meet again until a couple of months later in November where she flew out to Sri Lanka for a few weeks of travelling to get to know each other... then again in December, after managing to get a UK visitor visa for 6 months... after returning back to Russia in January to finish her degree, we met up again in Australia and spent a couple months there, and then over to South Africa for a month of travelling there too... (OK, I love travelling and thankfully she does too)...

Now we are in the UK again for the next few weeks and heading to Europe and USA for the rest of the year... We are now engaged, although figuring out where to get married while travelling is a bit tough ... I am a bit of a cynic when it comes to online dating, and I placed the advert with you partly to see the response (curious by nature), and also I  had never travelled to Russia, so thought it might be nice to meet up with local people to show me the best parts of the cities I visited... I never thought I would meet someone I would want to marry... I’ve just turned 40 , never been married and never had children, so I didn’t actually go there with that in mind... but now it has happened I am most grateful... :-)

So thanks once again, from Zhenya and myself...

I would just like to say thank you... I’ve met some very special Russian girls... it may never come to anything, but the romance of the Russian character and spirit has made me forget about my ex girlfriend of 2 years ago. I get emails every day full of joy and honest words... fantastic. They are honest with me and I’m honest with them. Your website as brought me back to life and I’m amazed by the romance in the Russian character... just perfect... thank you so much.

30 April 2004

Hello Elena,
I just thought I would write to you and share my experience with all this and to give you a very sincere thanks. If your sales department already forwarded the following message then I hope you will bare with me again as I repeat some of it and expand on more.

This was the most overwhelming, tiring, sad and FINALLY happy experience that I have ever went through. Within the first day or two I could not keep up with all the letters and had to buy a bigger email box through Yahoo because of all the letters and pictures. I was not prepared for such an experience... I consider myself just a plain average looking guy and a quiet man socially when it comes to women. I know I am not Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt, but I know that I am not unattractive as well, (somewhere in the middle).

I ended up writing to 3-4 ladies and two of them were excited to know me and after a couple letters one lady wanted me to come over in May or June to meet her and meet her parents. I bought and read your book and liked it very much, I felt I related to you very well. As I have been searching for 20 years for my soulmate. Anyway I let each of them know that I was writing to a couple ladies as well as them and any new lady that wanted to write to me and get to know me I made sure they knew this, some understood and some wished me luck and some never wrote anything in response.

Until I started writing Marina, I didn’t think two people could get so serious in a relationship without meeting. This lady also has never placed an ad... she was just looking to see what kind of men use this sort of thing and then she saw me and wrote her letter. She was the one that said that "I should write to many ladies... you are the one doing all the work and would travel here or there".  A week before I canceled my ad (last week), I told Marina that this is serious enough for me to just write to you and get to know you better and she said no... keep writing the other ladies. Finally a few days ago, when our letters were getting very personal, (talking about sex and other things) and I could tell by the way we were opening up to each other; I said Marina, I am canceling my ad and since then we seem to be hitting on all points.  This almost seems like a fairy tale.

So if my fairy tale leads to marriage, I only have you to thank and you would get an invitation in the mail one day :)  Marina thinks we are going to have beautiful children and we are perfect for each other, (did I say she is a very confident woman :)

Your Friend
Gary

Dear Ms. Elena
I placed my profile with your agency a few months ago. I must mention that I had success and am currently corresponding with a lady in St. Petersburg. I visited her once and was more than surprised at how comfortable she made me feel and the warmth of her comfortable home. She is only 44 years old and I am 66. I was very honest and made my disposition known. She has a daughter of 15. Her daughter was also very comfortable with my presence, and the chemistry was very good. I would much appreciate my profile being removed from the listings. I no longer wish to receive further communications.

Thank you,
Sincerely,

Dear Elena

Thanks to you I met my husband Jeffrey. He found me in your catalog in September 2002..... I even did not expect to have his letter ;-). I looked to his picture that he sent me and read his letter...... I liked what he wrote and his wonderful eyes... very kind, tender and smart. The first time we met in Moscow was in Feb.2003 and we spent nice two weeks together, visited my city and he met with my parents..... it was so touching how he asked my parents to marry me. We decided to marry and started the process in March, right away he came back to home. The process time was long... till Dec.2003 and finally I had my interview in Moscow on Jan,24-th.

But before we thought that my visa will be ready much earlier...as we counted on October, very close to my birthday... and we can spend it together.... but no :-(.

In July we spent wonderful vacation in Budva (Montenegro) and decided to try our chance to be parents soon. And Thanks to God it was happened !!! We both were so happy from that news...... but still waited my visa to come to our new home. To both of us it is our first child.

Jeffrey came again in November and than again to the interview to take care of me, to be my support and than to take me to our new home in USA then. My parents organized to us a wedding party in my city.... for us and our relatives..... it was wonderful.... Jeffrey very liked that :-). But it was not a legal married because it was impossible (we applied for K-1 visa). It was just a party but like a wedding with all Russian and Tatar traditions (because I am Tatar).

I had my visa finally on Jan.27-th in my hands !!! And we flight to USA on Jan.31-th. ( I was on 7-th month than ;-)).

Our wedding in USA was on Feb.14-th! For a while we decided to have a simply ceremony to be legal and have our daughter. But later we decided to have a nice ceremony with all things such as wedding dress, big party and so on..... because as I was on 7-th month it was a little hard for me. And also it will be nice to have my parents visiting us and their first granddaughter than to the wedding in fall..... also Leisana will grow a little ;-). Yes, we found her name very soon when known that we are expecting a baby!

Now we are waiting her arriving in a few days..... and very exciting to see her finally!!! We are happy together and with our little one.

Thank you again very much for your help and that we met each other. We are really in love and can not live without each other.

Thanks to your help from us both,
Jeffrey and Nailia Rector (MO, USA)

Dear Elena,

My name is Dan Duncan, and I want to thank you for the service you 
provide through your company "Elena’s Models". Specifically, I want to thank you for your business relationship with "Russian Pearls", in Barnaul. A year ago I expanded my search for the woman of my dreams from local to international, and wrote to several whose profiles were listed on your website.

Even though I’d written to several women, I knew the moment I saw my Elena’s picture and profile that she was someone special and soon my intuition was verified. We began corresponding Last April, met over this past New Years and spent two heavenly weeks together in Siberia. We are now engaged and working on her fiance visa as I write to you. Serendipity has been an apt description of every step in our rapidly growing Love for each other, but we would not have enjoyed such a wonderful experience in our courtship without the exceptional assistance of Russian Pearls, Tatiana Kraznova, and her staff. I cannot speak highly enough of each them.

While Lena and I were together over Christmas break, I had the opportunity to meet Tatiana and her staff and I feel that each is more than a partner in finding the woman I’ve looked for all my life - I feel they are each friends.

Be assured that I would gladly recommend "Elena’s Models" and "Russian Pearls" to anyone and, in fact, already have to more than a few men who asked me, "How did you find your ’From Russia with Love’?"

Best Regards,

Dan Duncan

Dear Elena,

I wanted to write to you and thank you for all of the help and consideration you have provided me through your agency.

I did indeed meet someone who has "sparked" my interest in a romantic way. I will be leaving for Tashkent, Uzbekistan the first of April to meet her and her family. Her name is Galina. She wrote to me in response to an ad I placed through you with one of your cooperative agencies. I received many letters and Galinas letter was the first. I did as you said and did not get in too much of a hurry. We have been corresponding several months and I am delighted at the emotional and spiritual depth Galina has.

It was a pleasant experience using your services. I met some wonderful and interesting women as a result of your having posted my ad. I did not encounter any woman who was looking for a huge financial portfolio. The women I had exchanges with were by all appearances honest and sincere. How refreshing that is!

Whatever the outcome is, I have had the adventure of a lifetime. I have met people I would never have met if not taking the first step and contacting you and your agency. I am hopeful that all will go well in Tashkent and at some point not too far off, Gala will come to join me here in Alaska as my wife. I am an incurable romantic afterall. :)

Wishing you well and the greatest of success.

Sincerely,
Francis Hartzell (USA)

Hello!

My name is Valeria Timofeeva. Thanks for your service. I have met my special person with the help of your site. He lives in Australia and I live in Volzhsky. We met twice and soon we are going to apply for Fiancee Visa. I hope that everything will be fine and we will be together forever. I send you our photo; it was taken during my visit to Australia last year.

Thanks,
Valeria

Dear Elena Petrova,

In the past two months I have had my hands full writing to all the women that have responded to my ad and the 50 that I ordered addresses for from you. Thank you so much! I want to marry them all and bring them here, but there is only one to a customer. Now, that sounds rather cavalier, but the truth is I have found four very special ones, and out of the four, one that is extra special and precious. This summer I will travel to Barnaul if all goes well.

Thank you so very much. A lot more to tell you but I know you and your staff are wonderfully busy. Write if you need more information please.

I would like to thank you for introducing me to such an amazing person, Elena {08727}. We met in Moscow from Jan.13-21st of 2004. I believe I have found the women of my dreams. Now we are half a world apart and need away to meet again. The sooner the better. The fiancee visa may be one way or would me going to her home town to possibly marry be better. Please advise me of the proper route to use? I’ll be waiting for your advice. 

Thanks,

Dear Elena and the staff of the agency Elena’s Models,

I would like to express my gratitude for your help in finding my true love and changing my life. I am very happy. Even though we know each other a little longer than a year, and have been married for only a few months, I am confident that my husband is the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with, despite any problems that may happen in a marriage. My husband is an Englishman and I love his country as my own, though currently we live in the USA.

I wish all lonely women to find their happiness wherever it may be.

Wish my best wishes,
Anna K. (USA)

Dear Elena,

I thought my letter of gratitude would be one of not too many on your site as I honestly believed that one should have special luck to have found a life-time partner with such an unreliable mediator as Internet is supposed to be. And I am absolutely happy to see that I was wrong and there are SO MANY stories with happy ends published on your site!! Well done, you are really doing a great job!

We were both close to despair (I mean myself and my husband Derek) after several months of wasted time on the on-line love search with other agencies. And then, on the day when I decided to withdraw my pictures from all the dating sites, I received a short letter with a picture of a man from England. (I lived in Canada with my son at that time). My first thought was: "Hmm, I would not mind marrying a man with such a nice smile!"

This is how it started almost 2 years ago. We might have broken the record of everyday on-line communication - some days we spent about 4 hours chatting on MSN! In a couple of months Derek came to see me to Canada, then I came to England.

To cut a long story short, on October 25, 2003 we got married in England and we both think that it has been just God’s blessing to have met in such a wonderful, unbelievable way!

The advantage of this type of dating (at least in my understanding) is that it gives you enough time to find out who you are talking/corresponding with, to make friends first, to find if there are areas in common to be shared in the future. And this is the cement that helps us now on those rare moments when we have slight misunderstandings.

So, indeed, Elena has been doing a great job bringing souls together for love and life sharing!

Thanks from me and my husband Derek!!

Dear Elena’s staff!

Thanks to your agency I got married 27 December [2003]. I’m very happy with my husband here, in America. Of course, I would like you to delete my profile from your Internet page.

Thank you again for your help in finding the man of my life.

With best wishes,

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I’m writing to thank you. A year ago I appeared in your catalogue and on
the 8th of November I married a man who responded to my advertisement. It all happened unbelievably quickly, as I read in one novel - it always happens  quickly if you meet a right person. It’s a fortune that nowadays communication with people from all over the world became so easy! And one can find the right person even if they live 3000 kilometers away! 

I also want to thank you for a reliable service as you are the agency which  worked with personal information with the high respect, responded promptly  and is trustworthy - not so common feature in this sort of business. 

So again I would like to say thank you very much for your very human and helpful business, I wish you all the best in the future, success, development and more people who have found each other! 

Best regards,
Tamara Frolova

Dear Sir or Madame:

First, let me congratulate you on your product and service. I had previously paid for a listing with another agency and received ONE letter in a month. In two days I have received almost one hundred letters after subscribing with you. It is a full time job to be polite and answer them all. You are one of the few businesses that delivers exactly what you promise. Congratulations! I do not have the time or energy to answer every one and I have already found a couple that I wish to correspond with. Therefore, could you please remove my ad and any other information you can remove from publication and circulation. 

Thank you very much. 
Sincerely, 
Mark (CA, USA)

Thank you very much for your assistance to us!

My name is Gregory Fox and I obtained the profile of my fiance’, Irina Aksyutenko, from your website in July of this year.

I have recently spent several weeks in Russia in her company, met her family and asked her to marry me. We are now engaged and very happy indeed and will be submitting her visa application this next week. 

I found your articles and ’question and answer’ format to be very informative and helpful. I commend your service, very much. I originally corresponded with a number of women whose addresses I obtained from you. Many of these wrote back and by process of writing and speaking back and forth I determined that Irina was the person I needed to meet as soon as possible. 

I thank you again. 
Sincerely,
Gregory Fox (USA)

Thank you for taking down Julia’s address 04216. She and I are now engaged to be married. We are perfect for one another. I went to Minsk last month and really had a great time there. We have submitted the paperwork for the visa  process and are waiting on INS so I can bring her here.

Thank you,

There is a lot to do for me to bring her to the US ASAP, it could take up to 6 months, but we will be together, We are very happy, I am so humble to what is transpiring, of course our faith in God is first.

Sincerely

Hello 
I want to thank you, because of your service I now have a fiancee.
I am 63 years old she is 50 years old, I just returned from a trip to Moscow to meet her. I went with a romance tour that held social’s to meet women but the women they had come to the social’s were all to young for me, so I was very glad I used your service to find ladies the right age for me. I got 50 addresses from you, I was very surprised at how many answered my email. It was hard to choose which ones I wanted to meet. I did choose three to meet me in Moscow, there is a down side to meeting more than one that you have been writing to, at least for me, it was very hard to tell the other women that I chose the one I did. I think I was in love with all three, you have a very good service, with very beautiful women and I like your search engine, you let us search by age, you have many beautiful women over 45 years of age. Again, I thank you.

Elena,

You can take my ad off of the internet. I have found a wonderful lady from Ukraine and we are writing many letters. We have many things in common, and I only have time to write to
