I like your site. It was one of first sites of this kind I have contact and sure it was, and it is, the site I have sympathised better. I like the type of women present in your site. I have not too much time to try to find a woman. Your site is easy, direct, well organised, with a good SEARCH ENGINE.
Carlos Marques (Portugal)
To all at About Russian Women, thank you for such an incredible website. I first started using your services in September 2001, and started writing to many beautiful ladies. Quite frankly the choice was almost overwhelming, but during the course of my letter writing, one particular lady from Ukraine stood out way above the rest. Needless to say I visited Ukraine for the Christmas and New Year period and fell head over heels in love with this beautiful girl. Whilst I was over there we began the process of an immigration visa to the UK, and I am so happy to announce that she will be joining me in the next few weeks when we plan to marry. Your website has made such a huge difference in my life that mere thanks do not seem adequate, but I hope that your site brings as much to joy and success to your users as it did for me. You have my wholehearted support and endorsement. Please feel free to use this letter as you wish, my sincere thanks to you all.

If there is a good working dating site in this world, it is About Russian Women! It was so easy to contact the girls I was interested in! And the reply was fascinating! Even though you have to check out each girl, what she want, or not. Some are very much interested in money or fun, some are sincere and honest. But I am in seventh heaven: I have found the sweetest, craziest, loveliest one for me. We have already met in Hurghada (Egypt) and are planning our future together!!!

I am so happy with the results I have obtained so far from your web site that I feel the overwhelming urge to send this letter telling you about my first results.
Here is my story so far. A couple of weeks ago I decided to begin corresponding with a few Russian women. I had made this decision after some reflection about my desire for a wife and family, as I now have a very successful career. One reason that I decided to explore the idea of corresponding with Russian women is that I was a Russian major in college for two years, and over time have known a handful of Russian families that have moved to the U.S. I am not one to go randomly meet women in a tavern or club, and I do not go to church. The thought of an online personals or dating service (American) does not interest me for various reasons. So I thought, "Maybe I should explore this a little more."
I started by using a search engine to find websites featuring Russian women. Of course, I found many on the web. But most of these sites made me a bit suspicious. We have all heard about various Internet scams, especially those occurring overseas. The pictures on these websites were so beautiful, so attractive! The women were so beautiful and striking. But in the back of my mind, I kept thinking that the photos were just a bit too good, if you know what I mean. And too many of these websites were too "commercialized."
But my biggest concern with these sites was the various costs involved. I make a good income and have more than enough to afford such a venture. But I work too hard for my money to just throw it away. I am not a gambler. Most sites charge $10 per address or email address. So choosing ten would be $100! And, of course, how could I be sure about the authenticity of the photos, the addresses, etc.?
I had a friend in the early 1990's who bought the "About Russian Women" web site. He purchased ten or so addresses, and sent letters to these women. He only received one response, and it quickly went nowhere. He spent months corresponding with just this one person, only to have it fail.
I saw the example of your web site. At first, I said to myself "These pictures are nowhere near as nice as some of the other sites!" But then it hit me. These pictures looked authentic!
I saw your price of $95 U.S. for a three month subscription with literally hundreds of women. So I decided to give your web site a try. After all, your price is very reasonable.
I was so excited when I received my first issue of your web site! I spent two days reviewing each woman's biography and picture. Some decisions were easy, but most were not. Who to choose to write to?
Knowing that only a certain percentage of my letters will receive a response, I decided to choose about 50 or 60 to write to.
The response has been phenomenal! In fact, I find it very overwhelming! About 28 women have responded to my first letters already, and every day I receive a few more. I have had several correspondences with a few already, as some have ready access to the Internet. I need to explain that my job involves corresponding with prospective customers via email, so sending letters by email is my preferred method. At this point, I have not sent one letter by regular post.
The response has been so much more than I had ever expected! I had thought that I would only have received a few responses. Not so! Now, I have to make so many tough decisions about who to continue to correspond with! This is not as easy as it sounds, believe me. So many of these women have written such genuinely personal letters. I have been spending all of my spare time after work and during my days off just responding! In fact, I have not had my usual amount of sleep this week! And still more responses arrive in my email account. Do you have any helpful advice about this?
And then, I received my second issue of the weekly web site. I looked through it the next day, and even choose a few that I might want to write to. But I have not yet written these new ladies, because I am so swamped with just responding to the ladies I have written to from the first issue I received. Don't misunderstand me, but I am no longer excited about the next several issues of your web site. I might be wrong, but I really don't think that I will write to any of these upcoming women. I'm already too busy with just the first issue! And I truly believe that one of the women I am currently corresponding with now will be my future wife this year.
Let me put it in very simple terms for you. Your website is wonderful! Your web site is wonderful, and genuine! I am in sales, and have been taught to "under-promise and over-deliver" to have a satisfied, long term customer. You have definitely under-promised and over-delivered! You been great! I will definitely recommend your web site to anyone who is looking to find a Russian partner.
I don't know yet where all of this will take me. So far, it has been a very exciting experience, and I am looking forward anxiously to see where this will go (I am already leaning toward a couple of the women I have corresponded with).
There is only one sad point so far. I can only choose one woman in the end. I feel so sad about the others that I am corresponding with now. Like myself, they too have their dreams and desires. I can only hope and pray that they will find their dreams and happiness.
Again, thank you so much! Please feel free to use (and edit if you like) anything I have written in this letter, because I am truly a satisfied customer of your web site.
Best regards, Tim Cushing Woodstock (Atlanta), Georgia USA
I just received my first set of contacts in the 3-month program I subscribed to the other day. I wanted to tell you how uncomplicated your service is for receiving photos, addresses, phone #'s and e-mail addresses in one packet. David Kramer Colorado, USA
I have found the woman of my dreams, and once we have gone through immigration, we plan to marry early next year. She is my world and life, I am eternally thankful to both your staff and the service that you provide, without you I would not have ever met my true soul mate, I would not hesitate to recommend your site to anyone. - Daniel Middland (United Kingdom)
Thanks so much for the web site update, just too many ladies to choose from...

I am very pleased with your service and I have had a remarkably high percentage of replies.

Thank you for your service - so far it seems to be going very well! Thank you for what you have done so far - I am really enjoying myself!
Nick (USA)
My name is Junsu Park, your customer from South Korea. I had joined your service February 23, 2001. Contract will be subject to expire soon. About 3 months has gone since I had found your wonderful services. Now I have to say to you "very helpful and thanks a lot". I had met my kind of girl as soon as I joined your services 3 months ago. I am in love with an attractive, beautiful, intellectual, highly educated, sincere woman from Russia. We are going to be ready to marry until late this year. I am very happy for your reliable services. It is entirely due to your help. We are in contact almost every day through Internet and telephone. I really want to thank you for your sincere efforts for me and continuous informing about women. Good luck to your wonderful business!
Junsu Park (South Korea)
I want to say I am very happy with your service. It is obvious the vast majority of the Russian and Ukraine women are honourable and kind.
Sincerely, Greg Wood
I find your service very good. I have contacted a few ladies and as far as I can tell their replies have been open and honest.
Thank you. H. Lindvall
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT THE QUALITY OF WOMEN IN YOUR WEB SITE IS EXCELLENT. I AM AMAZED OF THE BEAUTY OF WOMEN IN RUSSIA. ESPECIALLY, THE BEAUTY OF THE 38-45 AGE GROUP. IN MY OPINION, RUSSIAN WOMEN GET SEXIER AND BETTER AS THEY GET OLDER. IF I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN, I WOULD CERTAINLY ENTERTAIN THE IDEA OF MIDDLE AGED WOMEN IN RUSSIA. THEY ARE EXTREMELY SEXY AND BEAUTIFUL.
BILLY BESS (Mo, USA; billbess@mvp.net)
I am having the time of my life. I am so grateful for your service. I have meet so many wonderful lades by email. I am planning on going to Russia this winter. I am determined to marry my life's partner. She is in Russia waiting for me. Thank you so very much.
Tony Lehrhaupt (Texas, USA)
This is just to thank you so much for your service and to let it you know. It was back in February 2002 when I purchased your now expired. It took me just 1 month to realize which woman I had to meet, a real 26 year-old girl from Krim, Ukraine. She is more than I expected, an angel fallen from heaven. She was by my side at every moment I needed her during my visit to Ukraine and she was a great help for me. We liked so much each other than she's going to visit me in July and I'll visit her again in October. We have a future in common for sure. And I want to thank you eternally again for giving me such a opportunity to meet what is probably the woman of my life.
Sincerely yours. Juan (Spain)
I have met a woman of my dreams through your site, who is now with me in Australia. Thank you for your assistance.
Yours sincerely - Steve Davis (Australia)
I think I was very lucky and I'll meet my future wife in a few days.... Thanks very much for your help...
Mario Bertoli (Spain)
Nearly a year ago I subscribed to your web site service. I corresponded with several very nice Russian women but it was not long before I was corresponding with only one because we found many things in common - our values, hopes, dreams, and past experiences in relationships. I am pleased to tell you as a direct result of the service you provided me and my subsequent correspondence with this beautiful and wonderful woman, we are now engaged to be married!! Thank you!!
I feel compelled to write and tell you that in spite of the attempts of many to characterize this form of meeting as "mail-order brides", nothing could be further from the truth! Successful relationships can never be a matter of choosing solely on a picture and a personal profile. The service you provided me gave me a starting point to make contact's). The rest was up to me and those with whom I corresponded. I can assure you that I not only corresponded with my fiancee, but I took the time to get to know her and allowed her to get to know me. I travelled to Russia this spring and spent three weeks with her travelling to Moscow and from there to St. Petersburg and then to her home city. It was for me heaven on earth getting to know this fine woman in her home country of Russia and it was the trip of a lifetime!! What I found on this visit was that my fiancee was indeed who the correspondence revealed her to be and more! Nothing.... and I mean NOTHING... can take the place of meeting face-to-face.
I do not think I can adequately express my thanks to you with words except to tell you the course of my life has been forever altered for the better!
Gratefully, Christopher Barna North Carolina, USA
My name is John Nichols from Australia, I have nothing but praise for your site and the genuine ladies that you sent to me, I have chosen one lady Galina from Odessa and after writing for some time I visited her in June and I must say she was far more than I expected. We have a very deep love that I have never felt before and now we are going through the mountains of paper work for a fiancee visa for her to come to Australia. I will be going to visit her with my 14 year old daughter in October. One day in the future I hope to see this wonderful lady in my country.
My advice is to any one wanting a wonderful wife to ignore all the bad publicity and follow your dreams. There are more nice woman in the former USSR than the bad ones that the media will have you believe.
John Nichols (Australia)
How could I thank you? I discovered Viktoriya in January. We have been writing each other daily, and since Saint Valentine day, we have been talking on the phone daily too... At the end of March, I went to Ukraine to meet her, I had correspondence with others women, but my heart was beating for her only. I had many presents for her, particularly a fiancee ring; I put it to her finger during our first evening, why being waiting when love is there?
She is arriving this Friday in Santo Domingo with her son, who is our son from now on. We are going to get married in June.
Love, Franck
I want to thank you for your service. I have met many nice women. Thank you!

I am a new subscriber to your web site, and I am very happy with it. Your site has been of great value to me in my endeavour to find the right woman.
Joe A (USA)
I have been a member and have met a few terrific ladies through your site. I am in the process of trying to figure out which one I want to meet in person.
Paul (New York, USA)
Please remove me from your mailing list. I have met an intelligent and beautiful woman from Minsk. We will be married soon. Thank you.
Mike (USA)
Thank you for your wonderful service. I found the love of my life in April of 2001 thanks to you. This August, I spent 3 amazing weeks in Russia with Valerya and returned a little more than a week ago. Currently, I am in the process of applying for the Fiancee Visa to bring Valerya to America. I cannot thank you enough for your terrific services and I will let you know how things go!
Sincerely, Mark (USA)
HONESTLY, yours is the BEST web site I have seen. I wish I knew about you two years ago. I could have saved so much time. The girls I have met on your web site SEEM honest and truthful and willing to communicate. I just have SO MANY that I am writing to , and some that I have not even SENT a first email too, that I cannot imagine how I will find the time.
Bruce Robertson (USA)
I want to thank you for your service... the way you deliver the women's photos and information seems more efficient than other agencies.
Rick (USA)
Thank you.... a thousand times... thank you. Perhaps you might remember an e-mail that I sent several weeks ago. I wrote after I signed up for your Weekly Web site with a concern that I would not receive the contact information for the lady whose profile was in one of the earlier issues. I purchased the subscription to your service with the hope that I would learn a means of contacting her. Honestly, I have written to her before (only a week and a half before subscribing to your service) but did not receive a response. I was hoping that your service might offer a more reliable e-mail address or an address to which I might send a hand written letter. I took my time writing a written letter. I did not want to repeat my earlier mistakes of hastily written e-mails. It ended up being four pages long, and I included several photos. What seemed like an eternity later (actually only two weeks) I received an e-mail response. It was over four weeks since I had sent my original sloppy e-mail. I was persistent however, and it worked. It felt like forever. We have been corresponding almost daily since. Early in the correspondence she tested my sincerity by asking if I could come to Russia to visit. I have read that guys that go to visit the girls first have the best chance of keeping the girls interest, however I didn't need much encouragement. I can honestly say that I would travel to the other side of the world to meet this girl... because I am. A thousand times thank you. I am going to Moscow to meet this intelligent, beautiful girl with dreams of a fairy tale, yet maintains a firm grasp of reality. I have enjoyed a few exchanges of e-mail with other women from the web site. One of the hardest things to deal with is letting these women know that I am especially interested in someone else I met through your service and will no longer be corresponding.
Here's a couple of things that I would like to see on your website: advice on how to overcome the anxiety of the first meeting and tips on how to endure the wait. I haven't been sleeping well! Once again, Thank you so much for your wonderful service. I might be in your debt for life.
Jeffrey (USA)
P.S. to the story: The couple really met each other and now are engaged to be married.
Thank you so much for your EXCELLENT service!!! I am so impressed. I have met some very nice ladies in your magazine, and believe it to be the gift of a lifetime. If the lady I am communicating with now does not work out, I will reup. Thanks again so much for this high quality, exceptional, service!!
Sincerely, Greg (USA)
I write to tell you that soon I will be traveling to Ukraine to meet Yuliya, the wonderful woman I met through your agency, three months ago. I never thought I could meet such woman, with so many caring and beautiful qualities. Most of all, we seem to be ideal for each other in many ways. We speak several times a week, and she sends me lovely handwritten letters by email (scanned). We have also shared many letters and photos my airmail. She surprised me today, my birthday, with pleasant phone call! I will be staying with her and her parents when I arrive :) I already feel like part of the family, and look forward to our future together! I'm not sure how you find such beautiful and honest ladies, but she was a God send....thank you!! I will keep you posted on our future :)
Best regards, Tom Denver, Colorado
P.S. Good news! I have returned from Donetsk, Ukraine after a wonderful visit with Yuliya, who I met through your agency. I stayed with Yuliya and her parents, and was treated like family member. I first began writing and calling Yuliya back in October, and now we are engaged. She is a wonderful woman, and we are a perfect match. Her photo was the reason I joined your site, and soon we will always be together! All I can say guys, is don't give up. After five years of searching, Yuliya and I found each other. Your lady is waiting for you too. All the best. Tom (26 February 2002)
Let me thank you for your web site - it has been very helpful to me in my search. My search has progressed well, and I will be going to the Ukraine soon to meet with a select few ladies! I will keep you posted!
Robert V. (NJ, USA)
Just wanted to say thank you for your incredible website. I have browsed pretty much every site on the net that has to do with meeting Russian women and became a Gold member of yours in October of 2001. I only was a member for about 2 weeks when I sent a beautiful woman from Obninsk my letter and as they say "the rest is history". We met in Moscow the first week in December and filed for the fiancee visa papers as soon as I returned back to the States. We will be married this summer, thanks again to you and the fine people that work on keeping this website, About Russian Women, the best on the Internet.
Francis Vercellino (USA)
I appreciate your services a great deal. I returned from my first visit to Russia last week, and I cannot find enough words to describe how much I enjoyed the experience. I spent time with three wonderful ladies I met through your services.
