"We are grateful to the agency for our introduction and assis-tance in Kiev and Australia.
Tina's adaptability and quick learning has meant we have had very few problems so therefore we have required very little assistance from you since Tina came to Australia. However prior to this, you were invaluable to both of us, especially in Kiev. Without Val & Era's assistance, it would have been nigh impossible to have met and brought Tina to Australia."

YOUNG and well-educated Russian women are handing over their hard-earned roubles for the chance to meet and possibly marry Queensland men.
Many are university graduates, aged from 19-29, desperate to get out of the crisis-torn republic and start a new life.
They have sent photographs and details about themselves for prospec-tive partners Down Under and some are prepared to marry sight-unseen.
A Government-run introduction agency from the Black Sea resort town of Krasnodar has expanded and set up a branch north of Brisbane.
Mr Val Girilovitch, Siberian-born and an Australian resident for 28 years, has registered the CIA (Commercial Introduction Agency) at Redcliffe.
He has recently returned from a five-month working holiday in Russia and the Ukraine with a business venture which he is certain will succeed
"I was in Krasnodar just before Christmas when I spotted this sign for the introduction agency," Mr Girilovitch said.

"The people running it told me they were sponsored by their Government. I was a bit shocked. It all sounded very strange.
"They said they had women on their books who would dearly love to get into a relationship with a man in another country.
"It was suggested to me that I set up a branch in Australia. They treat Australians as celebrities. They look very highly upon them. MR Girilovitch said he was "a little reluctant at first, because of the negatives associated with this industry".
"But I thought: What have I got to lose?
"As soon as I got back to Brisbane I registered my business and put an advertisement in the newspaper last month The response has been overwhelming.

"There'is no doubt about it — Australian men would love to meet Russian women. They tell me they are sick and tired of Aussie girls."
But the CIA was not all about boy-meets-girl. He said there were also professional men from Rus sia available for Queens-land women.
Mr Girilovitch was given dozens of files from the Krasnodar agency and another in Kiev, cap ital of Ukraine, with the promise of more to come.
The women had met the high standards set by the two agencies and though many did not speak English, most were well educated.
His agency has, already established a strong link with those in the former Soviet republics and Queensland men have been penning their proposals. His fees included a "very modest" amount for application and consultation — looking at the photos and biographical notes attached.
There was another payment for introduction, and if Mr Girilovitch was needed as an interpreter of letters or telephone calls, an extra charge.
"I do not bring the women out here. My job is just to introduce them. I am acting as an intermediary only," he said.
He was "providing a service for the women there and some lonely men here," Mr Girilovitch said.
Mr Girilovitch said Queensland men could arrange for the Russian women to come here on a fiancee visa which required they get married within six months.
The Immigration Department confirmed that, but said they would then have to apply for permanent residency for her with the husband as sponsor.
MR Girilovitch is currently working out a way to get his fian cee out from Kiev to Brisbane. His plan is for her to visit the country first before settling.
"I tell my clients to expect difficulties.
"They could always go there. They could take their Australian dollars and become millionaires overnight in Russia."
Mr Girilovitch, who has dual citizenship, hoped it would be the start of several new ventures between Queensland and Russia.
He had gone home in mid-1993 for the first time in 28 years with the intention of establishing trade links in tne build ing industry.
"I visited this factory which had the capacity to employ 3000. But there were only 300 working there. Work had ground to a virtual standstill.
"The problems there have been caused by the depression and the end of the Cold War. It is 10 times worse in Ukraine than in Russia.
"The people there want to work. But they lack the technical know-how and the financial resources. That is where Australia could fit in."
