Certainly, in such important business as search of the husband the emotional factor is very important. What have you felt, reading this or that letter? Has that sparkle from which the fire of love subsequently inflames burned in you? Listen to yourself. What does your heart say? Is this person pleasant to you or not? And, nevertheless, despite of positive and negative result of your dialogue with the heart, it is necessary to start correspondence. Time, and also the additional information on this person, will put everything on the places and you will understand whether you want to receive marriage proposals from your admirers.
The first letter is your passing for the further life. You should make maximum efforts to present yourselves in best light and to make the most good impression.
In what language to write a letter? It is the best way to write the letter in English or in the language of the country where your admirer lives. If to make it is impossible, write in Russian. But you should be sure, that the letter is to be translated. If you send the letter in Russian directly to the address of your admirer he, most likely, will not start to look for the translator and will leave your letter without an answer.
Is it possible to use a standard blank? Certainly, you can compile a letter in which you give the basic information about you and will ask necessary, in your opinion, questions to the man. However, you nevertheless should treat each answer individually, making necessary additions. A man should feel, that your answer was made only for him. Therefore it is good, if you comment on his letter with a phrase of the following type: "You write, that family is the most important for you in life, and I completely agree with you". Also reply to all questions set in a man's letter. He will never make marriage proposals to ladies who write some general and standard things in their letters.
What sort of information to give about yourself? Write about the family, about work, about the city, about what you like to do at your spare time. Try to give him an opportunity to imagine and to learn your life, your private world. Treat drawing up the letter creatively, with invention and at the same time with humor.
What questions to set? Try to set as much questions as possible on his life and his understanding of the world. Take a keen interest, what hobbies he has, what he likes to do, how he prefers to spend his spare time. It is very important to learn about his way of life, his habits. You see these are constituents of daily life which subsequently will help or prevent your mutual relation.
