Dear Cecil and Marianna,                                                                     January 15, 2005

 I don’t know how many times to say thank you so much for this opportunity. You really turned my life around. I have been to other agencies before, they took my money they were really scammers, and I love your agency because you really invest in quality people. You really make me feel that I am not a number or somebody they can milk the money like they did to me in other agencies.

 I have meet one of the most wonderful and beautiful girls of Chernivtsi. My Natalia is very understanding and the most selfless person I have ever met. She is beautiful full of life, and funny. She is young, active and hard working with a heart of gold. I am very happy with her. We love each other very much and count the days until we are reunited again.

It is just like you said it would be!  About five months ago I started this correspondence and search for my soul mate. I never expected the rewards to be so rich.  I took advantage of the opportunity you gave me. Like you said I mailed my introduction letter and the response was overwhelming. Of my selections you pointed me to the right direction your advice was invaluable. It was a hard process because all the girls you pointed where so beautiful it was a hard decision but your guidance was the wisest, you really bended over backwards to try to please and answer all my questions.  The travel agent was really efficient and assured me that everything was going to be good.

 The trip to Ukraine was long, because I live in Binghamton, New York and I have to drive and fly twice, but I did not mind at all. I was excited because I was thinking that from that moment on my days as a single man were over. When it came the time to go the Ukraine I was really nervous, at that time is when I call you from the JFK airport but your counsel and guidance was really reassuring. I keep thinking of how I was going to react when the time for interview came. Your suggestions of writing the questions before hand, really paid off.

When I landed in Lviv Vadym and Vitale welcomed me at Lviv. They were cheerful and happy to see me. They treat me very well during the 4 hour trip to Chernivtsi they answer all my questions and they were very considerate after my long trip from the USA.  When I arrive at Chernovtsy they set me in a nice accommodation they were very attentive in this house and the breakfast was excellent every day that I was there. I felt very comfortable in this place. It was very nice to sleep that night after a long trip, not that I got much sleep considering I was excited because the next day I was going to meet the love of my life.

 The next day I met Sergey my translator and conscience for that week. Sergey was great if Sergey was in America he certainly be my best friend. Then we meet Sveta, she is really a supper great person just like you said she is your secret weapon, she knows the girls and can really match up with the right personality that matched my own in fact she was so good that it came down to just two- real tough choices- of the girls I interview. All the girls looked better than in the pictures, they were all extremely beautiful.  But Natalia really, really won my heart, and just like you said  “don’t be over analytical about it just follow your heart” that is what exactly happens.  Sveta made the process go smoothly, I must confess I was really nervous and did not know what to expect. Sergey also made the questions go smoothly. I must congratulate you with the choice of your staff.

The dating was like taken from a fairy tale Natalia was wonderful the more I talked to her the more I realized that my bachelor days were over. Chernovtsy was really nice even there were going thru an election, I never felt unsafe thanks to your staff and the people of Chernovtsy are not bad, really humble and hard working people.

 Natalia is really a jewel. Her heart and education was impressive.  The Ukrainian women are nothing that can even remotely compare to the American women. The American women can learn a lot from the Ukrainian women. They really know how to treat a man.

 Sergey helped me a lot during the translation and Sveta advice was even more precious. I felt like I was talking to my own mother because the quality of care. She was looking for my best interest at heart. She and Sergey made all the arrangements and help me pick a ring, the restaurant, and the flowers for the greatest night of my life. The night I propose to Natalia was magical. Sergey even helped me pick up the clothes for that night and help me in my declaration of love to Natalia. Sometimes, when men are in love don’t know what words to say, I am one of those. Sergey helped me in understanding the custom and culture.

 Natalia also made me feel very comfortable and I even proposed in Russian it was not very difficult at all, thanks to Sergey and her. I really love Natalia.  I cannot wait to marry her when she comes to America. Thank you for taking care of all the hassle of the immigration department, your advice is very welcomed and appreciated.  

I am grateful for everything that you have done for me and I appreciate your staff very much, I am very happy with all the services your agency have provided. There is nobody better out there; I will be sending more pictures when I get married to Natalia.

Your friend always,

Carl
