Thank you for yours letter!

It didn't take long for 'Tatyana' to respond at all. It's almost as if she was sitting at a computer waiting for emails to come in.

P.S I have decided to send a picture for you, and I hope that when you will
see my picture you to write to me the letter.

Immediately 'she' raises the topic of a relationship, and starts asking leading questions; clearly trying to provide a lure and gain my confidence. The picture was a nice touch - blonde and slim will work for most men, I'm sure.

I set out to have a little fun with my reply, and provide a few hooks of my own:

Wow, that was a really quick response.

I as would like to tell to you about that that I really lonely woman and I
very much would like to have acquaintance to the man for serious relations.

Sure, but you don't want to do that with just anyone. I know that things can sometimes seem a little hopeless, but you're definitely better off muddling through until someone who really cares about you comes along, someone you truly care for too. - discouraging desperate measures, on the exceedingly slim chance that Tatyana is for real

I as to have some questions for you.
How there is your life? In what country you live? What city you live?

Well, I'm British, and live in the medieval town of Norwich. It's a beautiful city, and I wouldn't live anywhere else. The UK is a great place to live, as long as you don't mind paying high taxes to support the less fortunate. That's a good thing, though, because it works in your favour if ever you're in dire straits. I'm a pretty shy person, and keep to myself mostly. Being a librarian is perfect for me, as it means I spend most of my time in silence around books, which I love. - Hook 1: Loners are good targets

What you to think about our meeting? You wanted that I could arrive to
you during a week?

Well, if you happened to come over here, you'd be more than welcome to visit, but by all means don't go to all that effort just to meet me - we hardly know each other!

I hope that this day to pass well for you and you to have good mood.
I wish you good day and success.

Thank you, and all the best to you too, Tanya.

Henry

P.S I have decided to send a picture for you

Well, all I can say is, William must be a fool to treat you the way he did. You're gorgeous! Another reason to wait for the right guy, truly, and not be taken in by men who just see your beauty without realising there's a person behind the pretty face. - Hook 2: 'Notice' her prettiness

Not wanting to take the risk that the scammer's English is better than the form letters would indicate, I wasn't being too daring at this point. When fishing, you give a few sharp tugs to get the hook set only when you're sure you've got a bite.
