Rockin' in the USSR

Got another letter from my betrothed today.  Got a short one yesterday, she was basically apologizing for not sending a longer letter because she got called to work an extra shift and didn't have time.

So the letter today was telling me about how she thought about me at work all last night, and how she even dreamed of me and we were on the beach.  Now her english kind of broke up here, but I think I might've scored in the dream.  Woot!

She also said (in reference to something I asked her) that yes, she would miss her friends and family if she, as she puts it, came to me.  But she says that its more important to have a loving man and since the men in her area all suck, she's willing to travel.  I paraphrased the last part of that.  She claims her mom supports her and understands what she's doing.

Now I gotta ask...what does anyone make of this?  I mean, if its a scam then wtf kind of sickos come up with this stuff?  If its somewhat or even all legit, how do you not feel bad for someone so desparate to get out of their current situation that they would leave all they know behind and do something like this?  And even worse, with me?

I was pondering these questions to myself when I came to the end of the letter, and to the most recent pic she's sent me:

I'm sorry...what was I saying?

Oh, right...the letters.  So yeah, got another letter today...
