David to Irina

Hello, Irina Grebneva,
May I ask for your help? I feel that the letter below is a scam and will not send money.

My name is David. I have received a letter from a girl in Russia. Tanya Zherebzova if that is her name. Below is the letter she sent and this is the first time she asked for money. She is originally from Siberia I think.

Here is the letter I received today about her requesting money. I have no money for her nor will I borrow for her. If you have any information about this person please contact me. I'm sending her picture (?) and the last letter I received.

I am so glad to see that we are almost near our goal,and our meeting wait for us. I think I will call you from airport and I will wait for you there so long as you need,I mean if you need any time to arrive in airport. it is not problem to wait there because I know that it is the end of my trip and I have time to improve my condition(some parfume)after long jorney. I want you to see me in good shape!you know I booked tickets on (friday) flight and I will buy before my intervew. People
from embassy must be sure that I am not going to stay illegally and I have tickets with returning data.it is very strong rule. and honey the problem is I have some money but my flight
from Barnaul to Moscow costed so much(about 500$).and they have taken from me about
100$ to complete all travel papers and 30$ to open visa.and I have to pay for the rent of the room
about 25$ every day ,very expensive city.the price of the flight from barnual costed so much because so many kilometrs from there to Moscow.of course it is my fault because parents told me
that I have to travel by train but I so much wanted to fly I have never fly before.
I think it is to late to sorry and one bad thing yet that prices of servise of aerflot (tickets)got more expensive after New year because of high gasoline price. I have to bye tickets till my intervew,because of such rule. May be you could borrow some money?I can't live here too long because every day I have to spend some money to live.the cup of the tea costs about almost two dollars. I think it is not too great amount I ask and I am sure I will be able to return it
back in a few weeks after my arriving I will earn some money and at first to
return all the money to you. in Agency they have told me that you may send it by Western Union. It is pretty easy to use. The manager from the agency explained to me how their system works. It is
instant worldwide money transfer system. All you need is my name and my surname and address to send me the money. Once you do this ,I'll be able to pickup the money in any local Western Unuion office in Moscow.We need to do it pretty fast, because we have no time till my intervew,
if everything will be all right I will be on this flight! You will send me transfer info and MTCN( money transfer control number ) I will get cash. Kiss you many times ,I am tired today,you know it is hard enough to be in foreign city. So many different emotions.
Kiss you many times! Tan! see you soon!

Ah, silly me. Nearly forgot to give you my full name info and my address.

My address here (the flat i am renting)
Country : Russia,
City : Moscow,
Address : Bardina 24 kor.4 -192
post code (zip) : 117303
Full Tanya Zherebzova (right writting in English)

I have yet about 400 US dollars yet and I think I need about 950 US dollars from your side with all travel needs and living here till my flight! if everything will be all right between us I can stay with
you longer than three months,maximum I can stay about 6 months for first time! We should change only the date of my returning flight. I so much hope that you will help me because it is only you can help me now, I don't know anybody here.Thank you in advance. see you soon!!!please don't leave me here alone,PLEASE!!!!!!I will be more than grateful when we meet.........
Sorry my letter is not warm enough ,I am tired as a dog

That is the end of Tanya's letter. Do you have a record of this person. I'm not sending any money. I just want to verify her identity.
Thank you.
David
