My favorite part is that her hobby is 'fitness'.
She also has the same email problem that was evident in the first offer I received.
I'm thinking about writing her back and letting her know that she has some competition.
Young Russian gals are just coming out of the walls for a hot, middle-aged, balding, out of shape nerds such as myself.
Life is too short - because if I had more time I'd do a study on the type of people who actually respond to this sort of an offer. Who falls for this stuff? No, really?

My Dad unfortunately. He got one of these letters through the Snail Mail, you know where it says 'You have definitely won one of these prizes, £1 million, A yacht, A Car, A Holiday or ..... a DVD, just ring this number to claim.' He wouldn't listen when everybody told him you can't win a competition you haven't entered and phoned the premium phone number and spent £6.50 on phone bills claiming his £1 DVD.
They must have some sort of 'Mug List' for people who respond to these as afterwards he was inundated with these type of scams.

I'm confused. Is the letter from Dasha or Anna? That detail alone could make/break the relationship.

Neither. It's from hairy Boris. He is not good with names. He's typing from a trashed, smoked filled apartment in Moscow surrounded by empty Vodka bottles.
What me worry?
