Our marriage agency offers e-mail forwarding and human translation services. We are affiliated with many dating, introduction and marriage agencies throughout Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and other CIS countries which makes your correspondence fast and easy.
If you're contacting the lady for the first time, we recommend you to use our e-mail forwarding services, as it is very reliable way of making first contact with
Russian women on our dating web-site.
For your better understanding here's how our e-mail forwarding system works:
You send your e-mail to a chosen Russian lady, and your e-mail message is received in our office of the woman's native city. Local marriage agency interpreters translate your message into girl's native language (Russian, Ukrainian, or other) and the manager informs the woman that a message is waiting for her. If it is the first time you contact the lady, together with your letter she receives your BIODATA and PHOTO you have in your profile in Gentlemen Catalog. When the woman receives your message - women usually prefer to come to the office to pick their letters up - she is able to write a response immediately in her local marriage agency's office if she prefers, or otherwise, she may think it over at home and then bring her reply (when she's ready) to the agency to translate and forward on to you.
Since we are affiliated with many local marriage agencies in Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, the majority of women on our web-site are from cities where the agency is situated, so your Russian woman receives your letter much quicker than if you sent it by post. The woman will be able to understand you better as she receives your letter in her native language, Russian in most cases, and may reply to you through us also in her native language as well, and her letter will arrive to you translated into English by our qualified interpreters. We try to provide the women with the processed e-mails within 24 hours; however, we are not responsible for the amount of time it takes her to pick up your letter and reply back to you. In any case, using our e-mail forwarding service will save you months of time in communicating with the women on our website.
You may also use our
photo forwarding service option to exchange additional photos. Often, our customers prefer to see additional photos of the women they are interested in (these are in addition to the photos we provide on our site of course) which will give you more information about the lady of your interest. You may be interested in seeing her family, friends, and herself in her natural surroundings. She will no doubt be just as eager to learn more about you, and exchanging pictures is a good way to really get to know more of each other. If you are serious about your relationship and your intentions, you should keep in mind that exchanging e-mails and photos is the only way to get to know each other before you two actual meet, so you should exchange as much information about each other as possible to make certain that your relationship can work. If you send us any photos to attach to your e-mail - the woman receives them printed along with your letter. If she wants to send you more pictures of herself, you receive a standard note from our agency asking whether you are ready to pay for scanning and forwarding of the photos the girl has for you. If you agree to these charges, you will receive the photos/messages at your e-mail address and POINT(s) will be deducted from your account.
What does it cost you? To read/write one letter costs you 1 POINT, to forward 1 photo costs you 1 POINT.
What is a POINT? You purchase conventional units called POINTs. A POINT is deducted from your account when you send a letter or when you open an incoming message in your mailbox. 1 POINT is deducted from your account for each additional photo you send to the woman or agree to pay for lady's photo to be scanned and forwarded to you by e-mail.
If you send a letter or open an incoming one - 1 POINT is deducted from your account.
If you send your additional photo to the lady, or agree to pay for her additional photo to be scanned and forwarded to you by e-mail - 1 POINT is deducted from your account for each additional photo as well. Please keep in mind that if you send an e-mail and ask to attach additional photo - you will be charged 2 POINTs - one for the translation and forwarding of the letter and the other for the transfer and printing of the picture.
You may view the photos and the biodata of the ladies who are sending you the e-mail before you decide to open a message. There is NO CHARGE to you until you actually open a message.

How to send a letter to a woman you like: If you are interested in a lady who hasn't written you before - simply send her a message from brides-in-bikini.com lady's personal page by clicking on the "E-mail me now" link next to the lady's photo.
If you have your ad published in the Gentlemen's Catalog you will certainly get letters from
Russian women and Ukrainian girls who liked you and decided to initiate correspondence with you. If you receive such "introductory letter" from a Russian woman - it is her way of showing interest in you. To read it - you will certainly want to know more detailed information about the lady if you liked her photo and profile - will cost you ONLY 0.25 of a POINT.
Why the price for reading the first letter from a lady is lower than for a usual letter? It is the standard procedure for both men and women, when beginning correspondence, to list a brief description of themselves either in an online catalog or on a website, and then write a personable, but rather general "introductory letter" where they describe themselves and their life in some detail; what they are looking for in a mate, etc. The men and women both address these letters to each person they are sending it to and they personalize them to a small degree, they are general letters, in which both men and women are trying to give more information about them than is listed in the brief paragraph in their posting. That is the only objective of introductory letters. Men send copies of their introductory letters to many
Russian women, and women send copies of their introductory letters to many foreign men. Once both people have a better idea of who they are dealing with, then they can decide to begin personal correspondence.
When a Russian woman sends you an e-mail through local marriage agency, whether it is her reply to your message or if she writes to you first - the letter arrives in your brides-in-bikini.com Inbox on the site and the server automatically sends you a notification to the e-mail address you used when you registered (*you can choose whether you want to get such notifications; **make sure you have correct e-mail address in your profile ***make sure your email filters are adjusted properly). You may at this point go to your mailbox on brides-in-bikini.com where you may see a listing of all your incoming messages. The lady's thumbnail photo and short BioData will accompany each e-mail for your convenience and by clicking on the icon (thumbnail) you may view her detailed info. You may then choose whether or not to open her letter (for which you will be charged if you do: 0.25 of a point if it is the first, "introductory", letter from a Russian woman, 1 point if it is woman's reply to your message). You are not charged for letters you do not open. You may also delete all messages that are of no interest to you. Messages that are 60 days old are deleted from your inbox automatically. If you do open a message and decide to reply, you may do this simply by clicking the "reply" button.
