Dear Yulia,

Good evening gorgeous! I just woke up and read your Email. I hope you had a good day. Did you learn anything more from the travel agency? I was thinking more about this last night before I fell sleep. In fact, I couldn’t fall asleep because I had so many thoughts. Sometimes this is a problem for me. When I am very excited about something, or have a lot to think about, it is difficult to fall asleep. But, I was happy to think about you, and the possibility of meeting you, so I did not mind laying in bed thinking about these happy thoughts last night.

I think that meeting in Las Vegas would be the best option, if it is possible. I think it will have the most options for flights, and is a popular destination for foreign tourists with lots of attractions.

I really hope that it is possible to see you in the near future! I am so happy and excited that you want to listen to music together. This is one of my favorite things to do, but it is difficult to meet people who enjoy it as much as I do. Now, I look forward to sharing and listening to more music with you! If we travel to an attraction outside of Las Vegas, we can listen to music together on the drive! I want to hear all of the songs that you love. I think I will really enjoy that!

Yulia, I am amazed at how good your English is. I am also very thankful for this, and I am so happy that we are able to communicate. We are able to do this, because you are much smarter than me when it comes to learning another language. I have talked for years about learning Russian. But, I struggle with discipline when it comes to studying a foreign language. I am a little embarrassed about this. I am very thankful that you speak English so well. If we were relying on my Russian to communicate, we wouldn’t be able to communicate at all, since I do not really know much Russian except for some very basic phrases. I really respect and admire you for being able to speak multiple languages. In fact, I’m a little jealous haha. I wish I could speak Russian as well as you speak English.

I am really impressed with your intelligence. I think you are very smart, and very wise too. I think that you have a good view on the important things in life, like friends and family. Some people do not understand this. In fact, it has taken me many years to understand this. Many people think that the only thing that matters in life is the pursuit of money. Yes, money is nice. But, trying to make lots of money I think is not the most important goal in life. It is good to be responsible with money, however. I think it’s also important to find a way to earn money that makes you happy, and that is helpful to other people too. This is one reason why I respect you and think you are a very fascinating and interesting woman, because I think you understand this. Many people do not, and it is difficult for me to communicate with them, because they do not understand that there are things in life more important than making lots of money. For example, being able to spend time with the people you love and value is one of the most important things in life I think. This is why I am so excited for the possibility to meet you. You have become far more important to me than anything money could buy. Anyways, I think you believe in similar things, and I think this is why I enjoy communicating with you so much.

I can’t wait to meet you at the airport one day soon. I think it will be easy to find you in the terminal. I will simply look for the most beautiful woman and that will be you!

My dear Yulia, you are very special to me and have become important in my life. I look forward with excitement and happiness to the day I can finally meet you in person. Until then, I am always thinking about you, and it makes me happy :)
