Hallo !

Hello Danny How are you doing? How are you feeling today? You might be wondering how I got your email address. I received it from a matchmaking agency in my city. They told me that you're looking for a serious relationship. I'm also looking for something serious, so I decided to write to you. I hope that's okay with you. I'll admit—this isn’t my first attempt to meet someone online. Unfortunately, I’ve only met men who weren’t really serious. But I haven’t given up hope—maybe this time will be different? The internet is a modern way to meet new people, especially for someone like me who’s a bit shy when it comes to talking to strangers on the street. Online, you can take your time getting to know someone before taking the next step. I dream of finding a man I can be happy with. I'm not looking for superficial connections or a sponsor—I’m looking for a soulmate and a real relationship. As for the language, I’m confident it won’t be a big barrier. I studied English at school and during my university years. My teachers often praised my progress. :) I wrote this letter myself and I hope it doesn’t contain too many mistakes. During the Soviet times, learning English was very popular, so here in Kazakhstan there are still many good English teachers. A little bit about me: My name is Aiperi. I know it might sound unusual to you :) – in Kyrgyz, it means something like “as beautiful as the moon” or “magical like the moon.” Yes, my parents chose a romantic name for me :) I really like my name—the stress is on the last syllable: AiperÍ. Anyway, I do like it. I’m 29 years old, born on October 19, 1996. Soon I’ll turn 30! In case zodiac signs matter to you: I’m a Libra. I have brown eyes and light hair—I'm blonde. I’m 165 cm tall and weigh 54 kg. I was briefly married—only for two months. But we both realized that we weren’t right for each other and decided to divorce. I guess it was a youthful mistake, due to inexperience. If we continue writing, I’ll tell you more about it. I don’t have any children, and now my heart is open for a new relationship! I live in Kyrgyzstan, in the city of Bishkek—the capital. I was born here, but I’m ethnically Ukrainian and a citizen of Kyrgyzstan (I have a Kyrgyz passport). My parents moved here during the Soviet Union, and I was born here. I know that people in your country might not know much about my country. Kyrgyzstan is an independent country, it is not part of Russia. It used to be part of the Soviet Union, but now it has its own laws and government. People here are Kyrgyz, but there are also many of Slavic origin. For example, I’m Ukrainian. Around half the population of the city consists of ethnic Russians and Ukrainians. Kyrgyzstan is a multicultural country, and it’s my home. I’m Orthodox Christian. Many Christians and Muslims live here. We live in peace and harmony. Honestly, religion doesn’t play a big role in my life. I work as a nurse in a children’s hospital. I love my job and feel like I’m in the right place. I’m very busy and spend most of my time at the hospital. That’s probably the main reason I haven’t been able to build a personal life :) My life is mostly work and home, home and work. I guess that’s how it is for many single people—they dedicate their life to work. I spend my free time like most people around the world. I watch movies, eat, ride my bike, take walks in the city, treat myself to something tasty, and sleep. I also love music—I have a very diverse taste. I try to eat healthy and avoid too much sugar and fat, but I love pizza and sweets. I don’t really restrict myself :) Do you enjoy traveling? Have you visited other countries? I think it’s exciting to see different parts of the world and learn about new cultures. I was born in Kyrgyzstan but have Ukrainian roots. There are many different nationalities in my city—Russians, Ukrainians, Kazakhs, and others… I love traveling to other cities and countries. I’ve been to Russia and Ukraine several times. But I’ve never been to your country, and I would love to visit someday. Unfortunately, I haven’t found love in my city—I’m always working. Living alone gets a bit boring. I think you understand what I mean. Eating alone, walking alone, watching TV alone... I just don’t know where to meet a decent man. I’ve heard some stories of women who successfully met men from other countries—and I thought, why not me? So I decided to write to someone from your country. I don’t know how this will all turn out, but I have hope :) I’m curious to see what will come of this. That’s a little about me :) Please tell me something about yourself and your life—I’d really love to get to know you better :) Wishing you a lovely day and looking forward to your reply. I’m sending you a few pictures of me and I’d be happy to receive a message and a photo from you! Yours, Aiperi

Hello!!! Unfortunately, I didn't receive your photos with this letter. Could you please send them to me? I'm sending you some more of my photos. I'm so glad you replied! To be honest, I was a little skeptical about getting a response. I thought my letter might seem too long or too boring to you. So when I saw the letter that arrived, I was delighted! How are you? Is everything alright? I smiled at your story about the printer and the draft going to the wrong client. I can imagine how stressful that must have been, especially in your job where details matter. About music: I do love music. My favorite song depends on my mood, but I’ll tell you one that always makes me feel something real—“Hallelujah” (the Jeff Buckley version). It’s beautiful and a little aching, like a quiet truth. And yes, I listen to classical too. If you’re newly obsessed with Beethoven, I understand why. He can feel like a storm and a prayer at the same time. You also asked about my favorite place in Bishkek. I have a few. I love Ala-Too Square when the city feels wide and bright, and I love walking in Oak Park because it’s peaceful and alive. But in general I prefer to be outside the city because I really love nature. I want to tell you something important: I know there are girls from Kyrgyzstan, Russia, or Ukraine who write to men abroad just to get money or personal gain. I find this kind of behavior completely unacceptable, and I want to make it clear that I am not one of those people. As I already wrote to you, I'm looking for a serious relationship and a man with whom I can be happy forever. Money doesn't interest me, and I promise to always be honest and respect your feelings. I will never play with your feelings or ask you for money. But I think it's too soon to look that far ahead. I've simply stated my intentions. A phone call with you would be wonderful! I don't think my German is perfect, but I can communicate and hold conversations. Unfortunately, my phone was recently dropped and damaged. Therefore, I can't use WhatsApp, Telegram, or other messengers at the moment. I hope to get it repaired in about a week so we can communicate that way. My phone's screen needs to be replaced, and I will take care of that as soon as possible. I'd like to tell you a little more about myself and what I hope to gain from our communication. My dream is to find my soulmate—a man who will be a part of my life forever. I firmly believe in true love and know it exists. I have many friends who have found love, started families, and enjoyed every moment together, and I believe that each of us is gifted by nature; we just need to find our chance and meet the same lonely heart. Tell me what you value in a woman? What qualities should a woman have? I'll tell you what kind of man I'm looking for. In a man, I look for qualities and character traits like sincerity, loyalty, a sense of humor, and optimism. I want my husband to complement and support me, to be one with me. I want to feel respect, love, and care from him. I'd like to tell you about my family. I currently live with my mother, whose name is Daria. I don't have any brothers or sisters. As I mentioned before, I live in Kyrgyzstan and have a Kyrgyz passport, but I come from a Russian-Ukrainian family. My mother is 68 years old and retired. In my free time, I enjoy going out with my friend Alina. She's a good girl; we've been friends for a long time, and I love spending time with her. By the way, she took almost all the photos I'm sending you. We met her in college when I was a nurse and she was in the same class as me. Now we work at the same hospital, and she takes amazing photos—it's her hobby. I grew up without a father because he died in a car accident. He and his friend were driving to another city to visit relatives, and their car collided with another vehicle. It happened seven years ago. I don't think you need to worry about our age difference. Men retain energy and strength for a long time. I think that a relationship with a mature man means confidence in yourself and your feelings. A mature man isn't looking for a fling; he has a lot of life experience and gives a woman equality and respect, and that's what I need. I'll end my letter now. Have a good day! I'm waiting for your reply! In my next letter, I'll write more about my life. I'll be thinking of you ;) Yours, Aiperi :)
