Letter writing tips

1. Honesty is the best policy & lies are always discovered. Most of these women are highly educated and they are looking for sincere, honest men who will treat them with love and respect, please don't make the mistake of thinking that they are ignorant or that you can treat them badly, after all, this is why they do not want to marry many of the men from their own country.

2. It is best to type or print your letters. Many women must translate your letters into their native language and it can be very difficult for them to do so if your handwriting is hard to read. Think about how hard it would be to sit down with a dictionary and not only translate each word but also determine its meaning as it is used in a sentence. Use small words in short sentences until you know how well the woman you are writing to can understand you. Please do not use slang words or phrases because if you tell a women that you are going to "catch a flick, & hang with your Buds", she will not have a clue "where your head is at"! In fact she will probably think you going to catch something to eat and then be hanged! Chose your words carefully.

3. Regular postal mail is very slow in reaching most of Belarus, Russia, or the Ukraine. It takes at least 2-3 weeks for you letter to reach its destination from the United States and sometimes as much as a month or even more. The same is true for replies to your letters. To make matters even worse some of the postal employees open mail looking for money and then destroy the letter inside. Email is much quicker and safer, if at all possible send your mail this way and save months of time! If you do not use email please be considerate and include an 'International Reply Coupon' or 'IRC' as the U.S. post office calls them. An IRC coupon allows the woman to exchange the coupon for an international stamp, thus saving her the cost of postage. Most women from these former Soviet Union countries make less than $100.00 per month, this is true even for highly trained women such as doctors. IRC coupons greatly help them financially, they really appreciate getting them, and it insures that there is a greater likelihood that you will receive a reply to your letter.

4. We also recommend that you send your letter by registered mail to make sure that it actually reaches the person you are sending it to. This costs a bit more but you are assured that your mail will reach its final destination. After you add all these costs up you may begin to see why we think our email forwarding service listed above is still the best method in terms of cost, speed, and safety.

5. All the women that I met in Russia told me that some of the letters that they receive sound a bit dull or boring. If you want to get a woman's attention make your letter happy and interesting! Tell her about yourself and where you live, what you like to do for fun, your goals and your ambitions, and especially tell her what you are looking for in a marriage partner...but most of all make it serious, or funny, or romantic. Don't make it dull or sound like a form letter. Women like to know lots of details so try to describe things in a romantic way so she can almost see and feel what it is that you are describing. Remember, she may be getting letters from other men. My fiancee' received letters from more than 30 different men, and my letter was one of the last ones that she received, but she liked mine the best. It's because I wrote it to her from my heart and she knew that what I wrote was true.

6. Send her the very best photo of yourself that you can find. If you don't have a good one, consider having a professional one made. Don't make the mistake of writing to a beautiful woman and sending her a poor quality photo of yourself. You want to know what 'she' looks like right?...Well, she is as curious about you as you are about her, so try to get her attention by sending her something she will be attracted to...an old, poor quality photo is not the best thing to send to her...
