31. Before closing, tell her that you are waiting for her response and want her to answer in any case, even if she is not interested, just to let you know. Tell her that you will accept her decision, whatever it will be, and will not bother her again if she does not find you interesting, but you need to know that she received your letter and read it. (You won’t believe how much more responses this short phrase will produce - it shows that you are really interested in her!)
32. Include at the footer your postal and email address, phone and fax numbers. Don’t worry: she will not pop up at your door tomorrow, but you might receive a surprise call from your dream woman (but remember about Russian scam list).
33. Type your letter: Russian women consider handwritten letters cheap, also they are much more difficult to read.
34. If you plan to send the letter in English, write it in simple words and phrases so she can understand. Most women can read uncomplicated English, since all Russian girls study English at schools.
35. It is highly advisable to translate your first letter to Russian. Even though a woman can understand your letter, she will not be able to enjoy it if her English is not perfect. When reading a well-translated letter in her own language, she can enjoy it and she will be very grateful you took the care to make the reading easier for her. You will also be able to fully express yourself and your great sense of humor. You can either make a template letter for all ladies (which is cheaper), or make one template and add separate paragraphs for each lady designed specially for her, and also have them translated (which is more expensive but produces much better results). If you translate it at the right place, each woman will compliment you on the quality of your letter and thank you for taking the trouble to translate it to her own language. It will show her YOU CARE. Do not use software translators for translating the introduction letter. (We recommend www.elenasmodels.com for inexpensive and quality translations)
36. You MUST include your photo with the first letter: a letter without a photo has four times less chance at receiving an answer. The photo should be professionally done, in suit and tie - Russian people believe in formal photos for introductions. If you do not own a suit, make it in long-sleeved shirt and tie. If you do not have a tie, buy or borrow one. A good photographer will be able to make you look attractive even if you are not exactly the most handsome guy on the block.
37. If you have a great body, include also a photo in a muscle hugging T-shirt and blue jeans. Never send photos in shorts or without a shirt: it means disrespect.
38. Smile! If you look happy and relaxed on the photo, she will be much more attracted to you.
39. When sending your letter via email, make sure that the files with your photos are not bigger than 20-30 KB in size. Use optimization software like Adobe PhotoShop or Microsoft PhotoDraw. Send your photos as attachments, JPEG format.
40. If you sent an email and have not received a response within 1 week, send another one - copy of the first one and include a few words on the top that you are really interested in hearing from her, and want to know if she received your letter. Or investigate thi Russian woman.
