I happened to check the Russian Women Blacklist and there she was! Exactly the same email address, letters and pictures as sent by Scott from Las Vegas. Only our names were changed in the "form" letters. Mike SLC, Utah.


I got lucky before i sent her the ticket money i just put her name and address in the computer and i got a list of names that was on this scam list and there she was her name and address,with the same pictures that she sent me of her self... As you all can see mind letters are about the same as she wrote to everyone else on this website. Mike


I did a Google search on some of the phrases in her letter, and ran across the letter from Nadejda Hlyibova - an almost exact duplicate! The names are different, birth dates different, height and weight slightly different, but other than that, the stories and language used are identical.

Elena Gorlanova (Cheboksary, Russia) aka Elena Chebahuyk (Kazan, Russia)

I am a 48 year old American gentleman who was too trusting and a perfect mark for this Russian Scammer. She asked me for money for computer time at an internet cafe, her passport and visa, and for her airline tickets. When I told her that I wanted to book her airline tickets, she told me that she had signed a contract with her travel agent for airfare in order to obtain her passport and visa through her travel agency. She emailed me her flight itinery and never arrived at her destination airport. After a week, I received an email from someone claiming to be a friend of Elena, telling me she was injured in Moscow and was in the hospital and needed an expensive surgery. At this point she already had $4000.00 that I sent to her by western union. Since she had my money, I told whoever it was that was emailing me to consider th money that I had already sent to Elena as my contribution to her cost of surgery. After a month, Elena started sending me emails again and told me she was ready again to travel to America and it started all over again, this time for $3000.00. On the day before she was due to depart Russia, I get an email from someone claiming to be her friend, telling me that Elena had been injurred in Moscow and needed expensive surgery. I ended everything at this point. Mark Edwards. Elena Gorlanova uses various names and email address': elena_gorlanova@mail.ru, krasotka44@mail.ru, hohmarik@yandex.ru, ëåíāëåíākrasotka44@mail.ru, lapochka1979@mail.ru, Her phone number in Cheboksary is 011 7 904 724 3599. Elena Gorlanova is the same woman as " Elena Chebahuyk (Kazan, Russia)". I sent you her pictures and letters a few days ago If you look at the pictures and the wording of the letters, you will clearly see that she is the same woman.

Elena Sudaeva (Bataysk, Russia)

Hello. My name is Mike. I'm a single father of 2 from Utah. I was contacted by "Elena" through the Date.com website. She listed her address as Mesa, Ariz. We began to correspond and within a week she was talking about marriage and coming to the U.S. I then had her email address in Russia. She never answered any questions I asked which made me suspicious, but I traced her IP address and it did come from Russia. When I checked back at Date.com, she no longer existed there. I happened to check the blacklist and there she was! Exactly the same email address, letters and pictures as sent by Scott from Las Vegas. Only our names were changed in the "form" letters. Mike SLC, Utah.

 


Elvira Masalimova (Kazan, Russia)

I am a 52 year old divorced male in the USA. This scammer first contacted me on November 11, 2004 through the webdate.com site. The e-mail address used was el_girl@pochta.ws. This one posed as a 26 year old girl named Elvira. This one wrote a lot of letters (17) and sent many pictures (15). Finally it boiled down to sending her money for visa and airfare. She said that her parents would pay for the airfare if I would pay for everything else. $750 was the amount asked for to be sent to her by Western Union. I will inform her that I should come to see her instead, and that should end it. What follows are some of the key letters and a few pictures. James G. (USA).

Evgeniya (Samara, Russia)

I am a single, 31 year old, white American. I was contacted by Evgeniya through the Yahoo! personals and we exchanged several emails, she never actually got around to asking for money because I found her picture (under a different name) on a scammer website first but she did mention not having money for things several times, and I could see where it was leading. She mentioned that she wanted to meet but that she wanted to come here rather than me go to see her, which is nearly impossible because they can not get visas easily. I was suspicious from the beginning and she would often not answer direct questions especially about the inconsistencies that I noticed in her emails, don't think inconsistencies are just a problem with the language, that's just wishful thinking! She always responded very quickly to my emails, within a day or two at most, which is another tip off that she is trying to scam you. I told her I knew she was a scammer and never heard back from her.

Letters:

1st email:

I want to tell to you that at me serious intentions and I want to find to myself the husband in other country. I met the man from Russia earlier, but I do not like Russian men because they too rough and uneducated, on it also are many reasons. I never was in other countries, I have grown in Russia and I am here all life, but I was involved always with other countries. And when I would like to live in other country because I do not want that my children lived in Russia. I would like to create family, in other country and it is possible to have children. I would like to find to myself the husband and to not think of others, I always wanted to be only with one person, but at me bad experience of friendship with Russian the man was. I adhere to orthodox belief and I go to church every Sunday. I believe in the god and this belief the only thing that at me now is, she (it) very much helps me. To me to like to go to campaigns with my girlfriend. Last time we went on lake which is near to us. And very strongly it was pleasant to me. I love the nature and I like animal very strongly. I have been never married, but I very strongly want to create the family. I have no any children. It would be very good, if we could speak by phone, but unfortunately, I have no phone of a house, probably later I can find a variant that I could hear your voice. I very strongly like to travel, learn different cities, the truth I seldom leave the city, but I would like to do (make) it much more often. My working day is very strongly intense and I do not have time to have dinner very well, I am usual eat on the move. I know that it very bad for a stomach, but I do not have other choice. I very seldom go to have a rest, because I on it absolutely do not have time, but to me to like to go to cinema, to walk on night streets because it is very romantic. Last film which I saw it " Night patrol " Russian manufacture was. But I never use a lot of alcohol to have a rest and in general I drink alcohol very seldom because it is bad for health, I also do not smoke. I would like to give my address on any case, but I shall make it little bit later that you could send me that or on him (it). If you want can leave the address and I ask you to not be surprised, if to you the letter from Russia will come.:) I come in the Internet of cafe in one day, but sometimes every day, it depends on my financial condition. I hope that I could tell all to you in this letter, but I hope that you will ask to me questions. Because to me to like to answer them. I wait for your answer soon. I send to you my summer photo. Evgeniya

4th email: 
Hello, John!!! It was pleasant for me to receive again from you the letter. I hope that I can count you the friend and you will frequently send me the letter. We can only so while to communicate. I would like to tell to you about the childhood. I grew one in family and at me was not present neither brothers nor the sister. My parents always lived together but when I have gone in children's they have divorced. Also did not live any more together. I badly remember it because I was still small. I remember just in one my day the daddy have left a house and more I did not see it (him) very for a long time. Mum does not know where it (he) now. I tried it (him) to search but at me it has turned out nothing. But I speak all that it (he) lives in the same In Kirov. Because my mum there lives. I would like it (him) to find, but I think that it not soon happen, if it (he) is still alive. But I am very strong love mum, but unfortunately I seldom see her (it). I have left from Kirov when to me was 21 and I 5 years do not live in the native city. I have left in Kirov that studies, earlier I studied in Kirov, but then I could not pay expensive (dear) study, and in Kirove was cheaper studies and consequently I have left there. Also I do not regret about it. I thought to find to myself here the husband but as I have already told the Russian men very much bad. Almost all from them drink a lot of alcohol and do not wish to give attention to women. Probably in Moscow still there are good men, but all of them have the wives. Therefore I have decided to find to myself the husband in the your country. It is difficult for me to understand that that you write without the translator because I learned (taught) English only at school and institute. And to us good knowledge of language were not required. I use the translator the program to read and write messages. Sometimes it happens very ridiculously when the translator translates not words familiar to it (him). I can talk in English but it is necessary to me a little traning in it. I thought of that that will be, when we shall meet. I think that it should happen. Because I have received from you a few(a little,little bit) letters and would like when you to see, but only as the friend, because I do not know you still well enough to tell to you that I love you. I think that is necessary to write to us still each other many letters before we should speak about that that meet in a life really. I want chat with you and I was possible the next month shall tell that we shall do (make) that will meet, but now we should better learn (find out) each other. I think that people could have real feelings with which person they have learned (have found out) through the Internet. I have decided to write to you after my good girlfriend has left in the your country and has married the American and now she (it) lives in the your country, but she (it) does not write to me and does not call. She (it) absolutely has forgotten me, because she (it) is happy with that the man with which she (it) now lives. And they had real feelings when they wrote each other letters on the Internet. I dream of that to have the family and to live in the your country with the man which will love me. The man to which I shall be necessary. I very much would want to have a small small house. In which all would be very cosy. I dream only of that that I had not to think of that that I tomorrow should pay accounts and I do not have on it money. I would like to find the love and it will be not important in what country. I would like to be simply happy together with person which will make me happy. I would like to send you the letter by usual mail, but in fact more it is more convenient to write each other letters when we write letters through the Internet. Probably soon I shall write to you the letter by usual mail. Only I should learn (find out) all about that as she (it) will depart to you and when it appears at you and whether it while will be do up to you will be lost. At us cold weather and i have is very much bad moon . I now sit in the Internet of cafe in the evening and I know that that I shall strongly freeze, while go up to a house. But I know that that I in these days off shall have a rest at home and to tidy up the apartment. I seldom want where that to have a rest and the most part of the a free time I spend (see off) houses. I think that you would like to see me without clothes, but I shall not do (make) it yet. Because I for the present know you a little. It is possible I shall make it specially for you, but not now little bit later when we shall be better to know each other I. For me the most important person in a life is my mum. Because she (it) from most mine burn was with me and always supported me when it was necessary for me. I very much love her (it). Earlier I had the man, but now I am lonely and at me anybody is not present. I try be the figure that I well looked. I constantly want on foot for this purpose, but also from for that that I have no automobile, and I should go on foot, also I every morning run on a wood which is at us a beside. I in general very much love the nature. You can count me unfortunate in Russia, but it not so, I am happy, but it not on for a long time because in Russia the life is very heavy, but she (it) also has the positive parties (sides). I hope soon to receive from you the letter. I want to be honour with you and to tell all about me. With love Evgeniya

It is pleasant for me to receive from you letters because I think that you very good person and it seems to me that you deserve much in this life. I type each your message on separately sheet of a paper and I read them again, when I houses. At us now very cold weather in our city and will seems to me that any more warmly and there will come (step) severe Russian winter. Everyone will go in warm jackets and to heat hands when will come home. Because Russian winter is very cold. I love summer because in the summer warmly and there is freedom in movements, and in the winter thick clothes prevents to movements more. On mine you calculations our difference in time can make from 8 till 12 o'clock in the smaller party (side). When at us early morning at you evening. It is very inconvenient, especial after flight, I was written by my girlfriend from the USA that she (it) for a long time got used from for differences in time. I do not know where precisely she (it) lives but I know that it beside from Los Angeles. Probably now it is good it (her) together with the husband. She (it) also found the husband on Yahoo. And they for a long time wrote each other letters, and it is good learn each other after that it (he) has sent all necessary money for charges, she (it) has made all documents and has arrived (flied) to it (him). It was very romantic, when I saw her (it) she (it) always was is happy from that that has received from him (it) the letter. I write these letters when I have time, I can come in the Internet of cafe in the morning, in the afternoon and I can go in the evening, I do not have exact schedule. I like to spend time in the evening in front of the TV, I like to look in the evening some films, or for example sports competitions, I like art gymnastics. When I was small my mum wanted that I was engaged gymnastics, I went on trainings about one month, but have then ceased, and now I regret about it. I also like to listen to classical music, in Russia many good executors and recently in our city were carried out (spent) a concert which I visited (attended). At us in Russia frequently I show the American cinema and I like to look films of yours manufacture. They are very well made. I work in a small bar which is in the center of our city, it (he) small, but very cosy and me is pleasant to work there because there I work good people and very polite visitors, it in the majority of the woman to which has nothing to be engaged during day. I have the full working day. She (it) begins in 10 mornings and comes to an end in 7 evenings. I have sent you a photo of my dog its (her) name the Chief. She is very clever dog and I very strongly love her (it). Its (her) breed German Shepard. She (it) now lives with me. This dog to me was brought home by mum when it (he) was still absolutely small puppy. And then she (it) became big and beautiful dog. I very much love a tasty meal, I vegetarian and eat only vegetative peep, instead of meat animal, I very strongly love good salads, and many other things. I have no many friends in Russia because after I have left in Kirov I lost all friends and now I do not keep in touch with them, but I have good friends, to be exact one girlfriend with which we constantly communicate because we work together. We together try to have a rest on a weekend and frequently cheerfully we spend time. I have passport for travel abroad because when I studied in institute, we wanted to go group of students to Europe, but at us has failed, because we have not collected enough money for this purpose. Therefore I never left Russia. Photos which I sent you did (made) for me the professional photographer, absolutely recently took part in competition of beauty and have free-of-charge given me the photographer, who constantly photographed me. And I have borrowed (occupied) 2 place from us in city. It was very cheerful, because I very strongly worried before it. When I was small at us boys in a court yard went for a drive on motorcycles and I frequently went together with them, I liked it because the wind developed hair and was feels full freedom. And the wind blows with such force that I could not open the eyes (my eyes brown). Now I very seldom arrive in native city therefore I work also to me much do not give holiday. I very seldom see mum, last time it was the last year and now I on it (her) very strongly miss. I think that we shall be good friends, I show hope for it. I want only one that we could trust each other because I think that this most important in attitudes (relations) between people. I like to write the big letters and I hope that to you pleasantly them to read. I think that we still shall communicate for a long time with you and I hope that we when or we shall meet, I would like to arrive to you instead of so that you arrived to me. I would like to learn (find out) your country from within and to learn (find out) as you live there. I think that it will be not yet fast, because I should learn (find out) you better. I have lived a lot of time in Russia, I like this country but if I have left from here more it would be better, because I here am held nothing also by me could leave from here as soon as at me the chance in my life would appear. It would be without problems. Further I shall be studies in the English language more strongly, I would like to pass rates of English that I knew language better. I have found suitable rates for me but their cost makes all my payment for a month and I cannot afford it. If I would study it I could write to you letters without the translator. I hope that was pleasant to read you my letter. I hope receive from you the answer soon. Evgeniya.

I like summer because in this season I have a vacation from my job in the start of August, it's so nice. I like to spend this vacation with my family and with my friends too. Basically, in vacation I like to go to camping too in the wood, which is situated around near Kazan City. Mike, I hope that you know that our russian woods are so beautiful, I hope in America too. There are the pines and beautiful russian birches basically in our woods. Also through this wood proceeds the small river, this place is so real romanticism, believe me Mike! We are with my family, my dad, my mom, and my sisters pack a backpacks, we take a large tent, we take a necessary foodstuff, and we are together with my family go to camping. I like this very much, Mike. Especially, I like to be near this small river too, my dad like to fish very much, I'm not fisher :) But, once I have tried to fish, and I have catched a small carp too :) I was so surprised by this, and what about you? Do you like to fish? :) Also do you know, Mike, that the food which is prepared on a nature more better than the food in home? It's a fish soup basically. Also we eat fish canned food.

But I don't address on their envy of any my attention. Also my collegues from my job asked me about that did you sent me any gifts. I answered them that it's not nessesary for me. The main gifts from you to me are your warm messages and you, Mike! Also if your remember, Mike, I said you in my last message about that it's not necessary to send me any parcels by the usual pochtamt services and any others Post Services. I have said to Natasha and Frank about larceny of postmails and others sendings about that some my friends said me. Frank was agree with me too that it willn't nessesary to send any things by the Kazan Services. The fact in that when Frank and Natasha have got acquainted, Frank decided to send to Natasha a nice gifts to Kazan by any Federal Express Service. This gifts were a beautiful flowers and nice woman white dress for Natasha. When Frank sent it to Natasha, Natasha didn't receive this so nice gift from Frank. The gifts were lost by this Service for the not clear reasons. It was so pity for Frank, and, is especially for Natasha. She cried very much from this to a mountain. Frank wanted to submit to court on this Service, but Natasha reconvinced Frank to not submit to court on this Service. So this beautiful gifts was lost without a trace, Mike. From this my dear Mike, please, don't send me anything by the any Post Services, ok? I don't want that will happen as it was happen with Frank and Natasha. Also Natasha and Frank want that if we with you will be together, that we will visit them. Mike, they will leave Russia through some time, they will come to Frank's Native Land to Germany.

Marina Nikol (Omsk, Russia)

I'm 43 years old, single, and a subscriber to Yahoo's Personals website. After an initial contact from a woman at Yahoo's site, I received the letter below. My suspicions were aroused after she claimed in her second letter not to be a subscriber to Yahoo's service, even though I know it's not possible to send a message without subscribing. The Yahoo ID that was attached to the initial contact was "kubik789", which does not exist as either a Yahoo Personals profile, a Yahoo member profile, and is not a Yahoo email address. I did a Google search on some of the phrases in her letter, and ran across the letter from Nadejda Hlyibova - an almost exact duplicate! The names are different, birth dates different, height and weight slightly different, but other than that, the stories and language used are identical. Too bad! The two pictures she sent were, naturally, pictures of a very beautiful young woman! The name she's using is "Marina", and the email address is marina_nikol@inbox.ru. She claims to live in Omsk. Dan

Nataliya Nagornova (Surgut, Russia)

I am a 52 year old divorced male in the USA. This scammer first contacted me on December 11, 2004 through the Yahoo personals website. Not only was her profile not attached (which has always been the case with scammers using Yahoo) but the profile had been deleted as well. The e-mail address used to contact her was lonelymilka@yandex.ru. This one claimed to be a 38 year old surgeon named Nataliya. This scam developed quickly. This one goes to a new level of sophistication however. It only took 4 letters for her to fall in love, want to be with me forever and have everything worked out with a travel agency. When it came time for the subject of paying for the visa, airfare, etc. I was not asked to send money to Nataliya but received an e-mail from a travel agency called Total Travel (totaltravel@narod.ru) saying there were acting on her behalf and I should send them $980 to cover visa, passport and airfare. This was a special price that I had to act on quickly or pay much more. The rate quoted for the visa was actually in line with what the real rate is, but they claimed that it would be only a matter of days to get the visa (which is impossible) and have her on a plane by December 31. They said I could transfer funds from my bank to theirs or sent it by Western Union addressed to an individual named Yuriy Yorobyov. When I asked to see and talk to Nataliya by webcam on Yahoo messenger she gave some lame excuses why that wouldnšt be practical and yet offered to call me by phone. When I asked again she suddenly had to leave on a business trip and hoped that the money would be there when she returned. Then I told her that due to the high incidence of dating scams coming from her country I had to see her live on webcam before I would consider sending any money. I havenšt hear from her again. In the last letters I received she said she was going to visit the consulate and then tell me all about it. She made it sound like this was close by and no big deal. When I checked, the closest US consulate to her city of Surkut was about 400 miles away in Yekaterinburg. This is obviously a scam but there are some important questions that need to be answered here. Is this a phony travel agency that is perpetrating the scam? Is there a real travel agency that is being used by the scammers who get a refund after the funds are received? (I have seen that approach tried before with airline tickets to be purchaced from real Russian airlines.) Or is this a copy of a real website in which the web address and e-mail addresses have been changed to lead back to the scammers? Or is there some other explanation? It will be interesting to see who else was contacted by this one. Some of the scammers are reaching new levels of sophistication that will likely fool a lot of people. James G. (USA)

I was in travel agency to find out how i can get to fly to you. And be with you on New Years Day. I hope we can make it, and i gave your email to travel agent and he promised me to send you all information about my trip. But there is one thing if we want to celebrate my birthday with you in your place , you should tell me will you help me or not, cause they will sale that cheap tickets and if we meet later it will cost much more for us and then later as they say it will be much more difficult to get tourist visa witch is valid during 1 month i dont know why but they told me that. Think about it cause i cant afford it,cause i earn only 200 USD here , but you shouldnt worry i will give it back to you your money when we meet, cause i will work in some hospital and can earn some money for you. I am sorry to tell that but iam realy want to be with you. I dont know what else i can tell, you know everithing about me. Of course if i could i will ask all my friends to lend me some but i dont have any friends who can do it for me , please understand it, soory if it make you sad. I hope you will understand me right. I can speak with all day and night but its better to speak face to face that we can know each other better. Dont you think so. If you want i can fly to you only for a week and we will see what happend or i can stay with you forever, all in your hands.

Natasha Egorova (Kazan, Russia)

I am a 55 year old single African American man. I live in Hawaii. I met Natasha on Matchmaker.com. she sent me an email on September 17, 2004. We wrote emails back and forth until December 6, 2004. I really thought that she was interested in me. But I did have my suspisions. I asked her if she was involved in a scam and she told me a story about an agency that was involved in scamming and was busted. She promised me that sshe wasn't a scammer and agreed to email me a copy of her passport as proof. I even found an agency through a website that claimed it could help find out the true identity of people in Russia who might be involved in scamming. It took her a while before she claimed that she didn't make much money and that she would not be able to continue chatting with me via email unless she got $30 for another month of dues for her service. She told me that her name was Natasha Egorova. I sent her $30 plus fees using western Union. She had to use her real name or a name that she had proper identification for. She tried very hard to get me to send her money needed to get her Visa so she could travel to the US. After a lot of conversation on November 5, 2004 she gave me the totals that would be needed to get her medical clearance and her final tourist Visa. We had lots of conversations where she tried to get me to send her money to buy tickets that would get her to the US. I was apprehensive about sending her such large sums of money so she tried to get me to send money directly to the agency that she had worked with. She claimed that they could handle everything for her. I still refused to send the money so I told her that I would buy the tickets and send them to her. That way I would be protected and she would still have a way to reach the US. I bought tickets and sent them to her using Global Express. The last time she asked for money was just before she was suppose to leave for Moscow to catch her flight. She asked me to send it using her girlfriend's name since she was going to be busy getting ready for her trip. Her girlfriend's name is Katya Ivanova. This third and last request was for $500. I sent her $450 since Western Union put a limit on my transfers. They must have suspected something. Unlike me. All told I sent $980.00. I was very stupid for having conversations with Natasha for as long as I did especially when our conversations started turning more to money and how she was going to be able to travel to the US and a less about her and other personal topics. I plan to contact Western Union to let them know that I've been scammed by I doubt that I'll ever see any of my money again but at least if they see her name come up they'll know not to let her collect any money. Kirk (USA)

Letters:

1. First email:
Hello!!!! My name is Natasha. To me 23 years. I live in Russia, in city of Kazan. I the careful, gentle, sexual, hardworking, decent, fair, true woman. I was very much interested with your structure and I very much would want to learn about you more. Please write to me on e-mail givemeakisss@rambler.ru I with impatience shall wait for your answer. In the following letter I shall answer you in detail. Sincerely Natasha

2. Email that asked for money on Septmeber 24, 2004:
Hi Kirk, I not in pink, and in white. But pink to me too to like. Just now it enters into a fashion. And to you what to like it is more: pink or white? Kazan is greater, more than 1000000 person there lives. You well look, is especial in the first photo. It is very a pity to me. I thought that I can get still money to Internet - cafe, but I could not. I would have enough money what to write only 2-3 letters. It is very inconvenient for me to ask you, but you could not send 30-50 $ on Internet - cafe. You understand the salary at me not yet soon and I do not know where to take money. But if you will send me of money we can to correspond further... Kissss.... you....

3. Email with the costs for her Visa:
Hi Kirk, The airport is in Moscow so it is necessary to reach it still. It is possible by the plane or by train. But by the plane is faster. I today again went to agency and to me have again told that they did not receive from your address. But I have told it that that you wrote in the letter. Also that they to me have told: At them the site is made recently and they would make it just it was possible to learn their electronic address. They work basically with people speaking Russian and consequently have not made telephone number on this site, In fact if to call the person not speaking Russian they cannot talk to it. They send all additional information by mail. I as have learned the prices: The visa - 350 $. The insurance - 125 $. Medical documents - 45 $. I already so strongly would not like will meet you. All your stories about a life there, your photos... To be very strong it would be desirable near to you... And Kirk, already on November, 5 if we want to meet for Christmas it is necessary to solve already more likely. Kisssss.... my.... Kirk....

4. Email where she tried to get me to send money to an agency:
Hi Kirk, I do not remember the exact address, but I can learn if you very much should know it. The account of agency, whether I do not know your bank system allows to transfer money from a credit card, But you can learn it in your bank: Acc. 400927098 of ALFA-BANK, Moscow, Russia (SWIFT: ALFA RU MM) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, New York, USA (SWIFT: CHAS US 33) in favour of ALFA-BANK, Nizhniy Novgorod branch, Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia, acc. 30301840700000001028. I so am glad to hear your voice again... I too have written down yesterday a voice and wanted you to send. About books and things I do not know, restriction of weight of luggage seems there, If it so that I likely shall not take anything but if is not present I shall take some my favourite books. At me not so many summer things as at us even in the summer frequently it happens coldly. So I think that it is necessary to buy them. Yes I very much like to float and &#1079;&#1072;&#1075;&#1072;&#1088;&#1072;&#1090;&#1100; on a beach. I when did not float at ocean, at us very dirty water. I think that at ocean water much more cleanly, and likely it is more pleasant to float in it. How about that what to make love as soon as I I shall come?!... I already very much for a long time want it?... Kissss.... my.... love...

5. Last email request for money on December 7, 2004:
Hi Kirk, I will have not enough time, I shall prepare for crossing to you, and I cannot receive your money. You can send this money for a name mine of the girlfriend: Katya Ivanova. You understand me?... Kisssss...... my.... LOVE...
