We wrote for quite a while before she asked for money to come to the US. Unlike the others, when I refused she continued to write and asked that I come to Russia to meet her. Once she slipped up and sent a letter identical to one she had sent earlier except she had some other guys name where my name had been inb the first letter. Others told me to wire money through western union. I think she was a little naive as she wanted money but had no clue as to how I could get it to her. She wanted me to find a way.
