MAIL Order Brides and the actual costs
The actual cost of translations between me and mail order brides is very reasonable at $2.5 dollars per letter, I just do not like paying the steep tax on our correspondence. I send $25 U.S. dollars which gives us 10 translations it costs $16 U.S. dollars in tax from Western Union, I have asked if I could pay PAYPAL or wiring money is another option? Natalija cannot read much English so it needs to be translated through the internet cafe, I am quite happy with the cost of the translations but not the steep tax, I am sure there is a cheaper way of doing this.
I have contacted many mail order brides translation services and am hard pressed to match the cost I already pay, I admire Natalija as well she says that she will find some small amount of money for some translations as she believes our correspondence is that important to her and a build up to our meeting in July. I just would like some information on internet cafes and how they work?

Internet cafe is about $1 an hour. I noticed some mail order brides bringing in floppy disks where they had typed the letter somewhere else.
Something I never thought about until I saw it: The girl I was with in Moscow could barely type. She was not used to a typing on a keyboard.

Unfortunately, Paypal does not support Ukraine and Russia. As for bank wires, it is a pain in the ass. I used a bank transfer to get payment from a British company for technical translation our mail order brides agency did for them. It took us two months both times! I had to go to the bank every week, email the British accountant asking what was wrong, they would email their bank (Bank of Scotland), the bank would reply everything was fine, the money had been sent, and our bank would say we have nothing. Then it turns out the correspondent bank in America omitted some important details, and while the money did arrive in our bank it cannot be assigned to our account and investigation is pending… It was an ordeal!
Luckily, we now have an office in Denver so our Colorado agent can accept Paypal and mail checks for us, and we can send Western Union to hell.
