| Letter 1 |
| Thank you for writing to me such a nice letter, I really appreciate
your kind words and caring thoughts. You express them so sincerely
and it is very touching and joyful for me to have them and to know
that you are there thinking of me in the same way as I do of you.
Your words give me much support every time when I read your letters.
Maybe I can give you some support as well. This is important for
me because you are so special and close to my heart and it makes me
feel very good inside.
This connection that I feel with you is something I feel deeply and
not something I much care to analyze. I am very happy just to accept
it and to feel the joy and the warmth of it in my everyday life.
I was thinking today how such special feelings between people can
exist within ordinary daily life, with all it's demands and pressures.
I decided that such feelings could not lie within the head but deep
within the heart, safe from such stresses.
I think about you all the time during my day but even when I am doing
something boring or difficult I still retain the joyful feeling that
there is a special someone on the other side of the world, someone
I care for and who cares for me. To me it is a very simple but
wonderful feeling.
Have you anything exciting planned for the weekend? I think, I will go
to the camp in the forest with my friend again. We have the last 2
weeks of summer to enjoy and I wouldn't like to waste them in the hot
and stuffy city.
I will be thinking of you all the time, I know this for sure. I wish
you to have a joyful weekend and a plenty of wonderful emotions,
Ann.

| Letter 2 |
| Thank you very much for your letters! I hope, you are well and
healthy and everything is great with you.
That's a pity but I couldn't get to the forest last weekend. I've got
a telegram from my relatives in the village and I left there instead.
So, I am in almost the same surrounding like I planned but with my
relatives.
This isn't bad at all! But the problem is I won't be able to withdraw
your money transfer till the end of week. Thank you for sending me the
money. I am sure, I will be able to get it without problems. I've
heard, Western Union works quickly and safe here and I need only my
passport and code of 10 digits to get the money. So, my dear,
everything is going to be ok. When I am back to Alchevsk, I'll get the
money. The small villages in Ukraine have no banks.
Thank you for sending me the beautiful pictures. I definitely like the
place where you live and look forward to the day when you will be able
to show everything to me in person.

| Letter 3 |
| Thank you very much for another of your enchanting letters! I always
anticipate their arrival and when they do my feeling is always the
same.....excitement and happiness to have more words from my dear
friend! I consider you more than friend since we have met each other
in person and build the plans for the future.
I do not think that there could ever be anyone else who could make
me feel this way. You have a special power to inspire me and bring joy
to my life.
Your letters are filled with such a great feeling of energy, excitement
and imagination and I always smile with delight when I read them. They
make me wish I was there with you to hear you say all these lovely
things. There are many reasons why you are so special to me but one of
them is that you are so naturally full of life. I know that life with
you would always be filled with wonder and delight and a passion for all
that is worthwhile about living.
Dear XXXXXX, I have found something about visas to come to USA at the
web site of American embassy. Yes, they propose several kinds of
visas. I think about visitor's or touring visa. They inform, it will
take some time to make a decision if I get visa but I have a crystal
clear reputation!
Well, first I have to get an international passport. I need to fill
the papers looking like questionnaire and they require passport
information there. I have found, it costs 200$ to get passport within
10 days. I cannot request an interview without passport because I have
to place my passport information there.
Then I may set the appointment for visa interviewing at the embassy.
It can be done via e-mail and they will send me the notification with
the exact date and time. Visa fee at the embassy is 100$. And I have
to pay 8$ for FedEx because they will send me the passport this way
after interviewing after 7-10 days.
I have found, I'll need to stay in Kiev for 2 nights which is going
to cost about 100-120$$. Besides, the plane tickets are about 150$ the
both ways. I think, it will be better to take a plane flight because
it takes 2 hours only. But the train trip takes about 19-20 hours and
may late which isn't good. I may miss my interview and have to wait
another month or two.
The amount is going to be quite large for me! Thank you very much for
offering your help! I appreciate it very much. I have found you may
wire the money via Western Union and you need my name(Popyrina Anna),
the country(Ukraine) and my address( Gmyry st. 37/71, Alchevsk,
Lugansk reg, Ukraine). I appreciate your help and care of me very
much!
My parent's names are Eugene and Eugenia. The name of that soup is
okroshka. Certainly, I remember how to cook it from the memory.
