To the wonderful people at China Marriage Service

I tip my hat to you. You guys are great. I'm happy I used your service. I'm the type of man that believes in faith and that everything happens for a reason. I just happened to surf the net and came across your web site. I didn't know what to think at first, somewhat scared...I decided to leave, I went and I compared your' sites to other sites on the web, by far your the best. You show a lot of character and you're very sincere. The women are beatiful. I'm proud I found your web site.

Dear China Marriage Service.

Olga (1912) and I wanted to thank you for the service you are providing. As a result of your Internet site we both found the person we were dreaming about. We began writing to each other in the Spring of last year. As we corresponded we began to connect through letters and soon found ourselves in lengthy phone conversations. We grew closer and in July met face-to-face for the first time in Paris, France. We both spent the best week of our lives there as romance was in the air. At the end of the trip, I asked her to marry me.

It would be almost 6 months till we would see each other again due to immigration procedures. However it was well worth the wait! She arrived in the U.S. in January and after spending some time together, we married on Valentines day and have been blistfully happy ever since. It is still astounding to both of us, that we found the other halves of our souls on the other side of the world.

So for your other customers seeking the woman of their dreams, I would advise them to take a chance! The worst that can happen is you lose the price of an address. The best is the opportunity to find true love.

Sincerly,

Hi,I saw your offer to e-mail you and tell you about your site so I thought I would. I have come across many foreign romance sites while wandering through the web. Yours, BY FAR, is the best one. It is the most user-friendly and has the best features.

Keep up the good work!

Just wanted to drop a short note of thanks.

I have written to a total of nine ladies from your service. I received five replies to date and am continuing to correspond with three of them. One of the ladies is becoming very special to me. We are able to correspond via email and this makes it a little easier to get to know each other. In a little over two months we have sent 200 emails to each other. We plan to speak on the phone for the first time this weekend. While the distance between the US and the Philippines is great we seem to be getting closer all the time.

Thanks for providing an honest service and for delivering what you promise.

Just a note to thank you for your tasteful and intelligent marketing and excellent service. A Foreign Affair has not made any promises to me they have not kept. I would definately take advantage of one your St. Petersburg tours before I would consider any of the others advertised. I have used different services off and on for the past 3 years, and yours has been the all-around best! I am currently corresponding with two women I met via A Foreign Affair, but neither is near enough St. Petersburg. Oksana, moved to Chicago five months ago, and will be visiting me in two weeks. Sveta, lives in Ekaterinberg, and I am especially smitten with her. Sveta and I may meet in Prague this Spring, if she cannot make it here, or I cannot go to Ekaterinberg. Both of them seem a very good match for me. Both of them speak and write passable English. I hope to determine which of them is best for both of us in the next few months, and you can take one of them off your list permanently. I never had a higher percentage of sweet and thoughtful women write back to me from any other service. You do an excellent job of managing the lists, and your Web site is the best! I think the long-distance service you promote is the best deal currently available to Russia. I wish A Foreign Affair continued success for the year ahead. Keep up the good work!

Hi guys,

I've looked at some other "personals" sites and I've decided that yours is by far the best. Just wanted to let you know. Have a great weekend.

Dear sirs,

I would like to thank all of you at A Foreign Affair for the wonderful service and dedication that is bringing happiness to a lot of people from diverse cultures. I know for myself that I am certainly going to marry with a beautiful lady ( if she accepts ), that has once again brought happiness into my life. And its all thanks to you so well done once again, I certainly endorse the aims and goals espoused by A Foreign Affair.

Hello John,

Thank you for your understanding, I do appreciate your service and the fine work that you are doing to help some of us single men to find that special someone to spend our lives with. Your service should be commended for the job that it has done for me so far. I was sincere about the woman that I wrote you about and I appreciate your time and effort in granting me a new address for another try. I will not forget it. I have already passed on the web sight to my co-workers and some have expressed an interest in your service. I would like you to know that I was approached by another service and the lowest cost they would offer me was 1 address bi-monthly was $500.00. I could not believe my ears and I was shocked to say the least. I have begun a new campaign for your company and the best part is that I did receive my second of 5 letters thanks again,

Dear A Foreign Affair,

"Your service is very recommendable. A few hours after ordering the adresses I already receive them. After writing only one (!) letter I got an answer from a very educated and charming Philippine lady. And the many helpfull hints were also very usefull. Very good experiences without exceptions. Congratulation to your service: If there is one on the Internet I can recommend without any doubts then it is certainly yours!"

Hi!

Thanks for the letter back. I found the woman of my dreams, Hope you can bring us together, My twins are into gymnastics, and she is to. And she is very beautiful to,, I hope she wants to marry and come to the United States.. I'm sorry but she is the one.... It would mean the world to me to get to know her and hopefully marry her... I know that sounds strange just from a picture but when you know you know.

Thanks

for all your help....Tim her number is 1376 What a very beautiful lady....Hope she wants to come here and start a honest, loving, affectionate relationship.... Well Thanks Again you are great....

Bye For Now,

This Is The Woman That He Fell Head Over Heels With

Hi!!!

Thank you for helping find the woman of my dreams.I received the address to number 1066 August 2 and on September 22 I met her in the Philippines (thats quick, huh?). After seeing her picture on the Net I just knew that she was the one. And the funny thing is that I am the only one that she replied to. I met her family in her hometown and then we went to Boracay and had a great time (although her mother was with us as a chaperone). I am going back in December to spend Chritmas and New Year with her. She is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with and she feels the same way. She is a truly wonderful woman and I love her very much. I would like to recommend anyone who is unsure about this service to try it because it might just change you life.

Thanks again for your help.

This Is The Woman That He Fell Head Over Heels With

Thanks for your keen interest! My experience with your service has been positive indeed. As for the results, I wrote eight letters and received six answers. Since I am neither rich nor exceptionally handsome this must be rated as a success. In this context, I cannot exclude the possibility that my town of residence (Paris) holds more romantic attraction than, say, Oskosh, WI.

Hi,

I would like for you to send my address of #1956. I am a platinum subscriber.

I leave on Friday Febuary 9, 1996 for Russia so this is probably the last address I'll ask for. I must tell you though that it has been a real pleasure using your service.

I'll let you know what happens!

Ron,

I look forward to participating in your service. Since I last E-mailed I have had the chance to scan the net using over 180 search engines and scanning in over 8 countries outside of the United States. I read the homepages of some 30 different organizations (and when I mean homepages, I also mean their respective links to other pages describing their various services, fees, and options available to clients [usaully 5-10 links for each]). I investigate everything I am interested in to the fullest extent possible, as you can see. I did not go over every single detail in each of these services (including yours), but I scanned enough to make my final decisions. I have decided that I am going with 4 different companies in my search for companionship. However, at this point, I am using the other companies for letter translation and mail services.

I am going with Foreign Affair for contacting ladies first. Frankly, after scanning the ladies on the services, some of which I am sure I saw more than once, I was not impressed. It is not that the ladies were presented more than once, it was how they were presented. I either had to go through several menu selections to get what I wanted to see or I had the opportunity to view only one person at a time. In addition, their pages were not attractive. Your pages are nicely laid out and attractive to the eye, in my opinion. Also, I must say that the ladies on your database seem to appear more beautiful than those on other services. It's probably my computer but I don't know.

In addition, yours was the first introduction service which I accidentially stumbbled upon when I began my search on the net. Something inside of me was telling me that I should go with A Foreign Affairin my relationship search and not consider "the others". However, I didn't want to limit my choices so I went against my intuition and spent the next several days searching the net for "the other". After all of this due diligence, I came back full circle, to A Foreign Affair. It is not often that I am impressesed as this and not often that I write like this, stating what I think about it in this much detail.

Well, I have just one concern after all of this. I have scanned your pages but have not been able to find something I am interested in, or perhaps maybe I missed it in my search. I would like to know if your service provides for publishing a personal ad, or similiar article, in newspapers in the CIS countries. Please let me know as I am interested in this as well as the other services.

Thanks again for the opportunity you are providing. I look forward to our mutual working together. Thank you so very much.

Dear Ron,

It was a pure accident when I discovered your website. I was searching for something on Yahoo! unrelated to your business. One of the listings was a brief summary of your service.

At first, I thouguter but I don't know.

Dear Ron,

It was a pure accident when I discovered your website. I was searching for something on Yahoo! unrelated to your business. One of the listings was a brief summary of your service.

At first, I thought it must be either some kind of "porno" stuff, or a very clever type of scam.

It took me a while to understand that this business is generally on the up & up, and for me to seriously use it. I bought a platinum membership in December of '97, and selected about twenty of your listings to write to. Almost half responded to me.

The first response was by telephone: "This is Anna, calling from Russia..."

Things progressed and she will be coming here for a visit within the next weeks. (Although she has never been in the States, she has a valid visa - not a "fiancee visa")

But to my point: Everything you put in her posting was accurate, including her English ability.

I have a fairly lofty title, but basically I am a professional salesman, so I approached the idea of finding a new life-partner as I would a business. I carefully thought about the criteria I was interested in, and used your search engine. It seems that I've found her.

When I called you last winter, you gave me some really helpful advice and I took it. I wrote a lot of letters [2 1/2 pages, typewritten, 3 photos], and have probably had 15 or more hours worth of telephone conversations.

Since I began this search, I have gone through every website that I could find, and as you know, there are more than a hundred. But almost none are of your quality. If someone were to ask me about A Foreign Affair, this is what I would tell them I found:

1. You have a wonderfully large data base of ladies, and it is very diverse. (My search criteria was 36 to 41, previously married, one or more children [any age], conversational English, plus height/weight preferences.) Your competition is too skewed towards very young women.
2. Your profile pages load quickly. Some of those of your competitors are AGONIZINGLY slow. (And some of their "search engines" are almost useless.)
3. Your willingness to give some advice on the phone was thoughtful, and you have personal experience to share.
4. Your response time to address requests is excellent. In some cases, your competitors take up to a week, and send them by mail.
5. Some sites are so amateurish, it's laughable.
6. A Foreign Affair's website is so complete - it's got anything one could want. (And I don't recall seeing any spelling errors)
7. Your pricing is fair and competitive.
8. I have confidence that the ladies you portray are real. On some sites, I really do suspect that there are "ringers".
9. The individual profile pages that you produce are absolutely the best. Excellent photography for the most part, fast loading, usually with more than one photo, and detailed information about the individual portrayed.
10. Some of the "facts" and "advice" on other sites are just simply flat-ass wrong. They just don't know what they are talking about. I had a couple of problems with the Russian and Ukrainian mail service, but they were few. (Last winter, I taught myself to read and write Russian [although my vocabulary is still childishly small], so I have addressed letters in both English and Russian. They both go through...) You are free to use this letter as a reference.

You did what you said you do, on your site and on the phone. The rest was (and is) up to me.

If you do use this letter, please use just my first name, and change the lady's name.

Best regards,

Hi,

Dear all at A Foreign Affair I would like to thank your organization. Never before have I had so much mail from all over the world from so many women. It breaks my heart that I just cant respond to them all. The time and postal costs would be phenomenal. If I had a grievance it would be the women's letters, they do silly things such as send a splendid letter then forget to write a return address or do but you need a decipher machine to decode it. They send brilliant photographs but write in there own language, again if only I had a decoding machine handy.

Dear Mr. Adams,

I am pleased to share that we were married on 30 January, 2003 in Waterloo, Iowa. Thank you for the service provided by your company, which allowed us to find each other!

Sincerely,

John

as a member of the march, 2002, odessa tour, i just want to inform you that elena, whom i met on the tour, and i will be married on march 15. thanks for helping in this endevour.

Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. I'm sure this made her very happy as she was so pleased with the roses you delivered.

I really think your service is great - customer service, response time, and gifts/products.

I especially appreciate your personal attention given to my inquiry.

Thanks, again, for everything!

John, I am sooo happy that you provide this wonderful service, I could not find a beautiful young woman here in America who would give me the time of day. Without your service I would not have found this beautiful, young woman, I am engaged to. I would have had to settle for some one I really didn't want or to be alone for the rest of my life. If a man is sincere and makes up his mind, what type of woman he is looking for before he goes, he can find the girl of his dreams with your romance tours, God bless you and keep up the good work!!! I couldn't be happier.

Sincerely,

AJ,

Thank you for doing a fine job with my gift for Katya. Her reaction was far better than I expected! It would have been worth twice the cost as her letter to me was truly amazing! I did not expect such a reaction! Thanks again for a fine job and when I send her another gift I will count on you again in the future.

Sincerely,

Hello

My name is Leif, I´m living in Norrköping, Sweden. I used your gift-service 27/9 and it was to send my gift to my fiancee Natalia. She emailed me the photos of my gift (it was a bouquet of red roses and a small teddy-bear) her response was: "It is the most beautiful bouquet of red roses I ever have seen!!"

When I saw the photos I completely agree with her! Thank you for your good service.

Best regards

CHRIS,

Thanks for your prompt attention to my enquiry with regard to a refund. I was in receipt of a refund check Monday past.

I am so impressed with everybody at AFA that I strongly feel compelled to continue my quest to find and marry a lady from eastern Europe.

I do not trust any other "introduction" business, period!, but AFA. Therefore, I will continue to use your services, if and when the need may arise.

Again, my heartfelt gratitude. Please continue the great work all of you are doing.

AJ,

Thanks, this is one of the nicest messages I have ever got. This looks like "the one" for me that I would never have found if not for your service. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Thanks for doijng what you do!

Bolshoy Spiceba,

Hey Guys,

I enjoyed a tour with you all the summer of 1998. Tatiana and I were married December 30, 1998. It has been wonderful. Tatiana is now a US citizen and couldn't be happier.

Keep up the great work..... We look in on your site from time to time. Things only get better. I know I did business with the best. That is why you continue to grow and produce a good product.

GL

This is a letter in support of the efforts of Gustavo Gonzalez, at the Costa Rica branch of AFA, an introduction agency that I employed some 14 months ago to introduce me to the woman ( Tica ) who would become my wife.

Sylvia and I were happily married this weekend and I owe much of this to Gustavo. Thank You! I am very happy to reccomend Gustavo and the Costa Rica branch of AFA. It has all worked out beautifully for me and I cannot imagine a better result.

John, great tour, and your staff was very very good from top to bottom. Recieved all that was promised and then more. The local photographer took lots of photos at both the party and also an interview. Can you have the CD of photos forwarded to me or emailed to me,

Thanks

Dear Customer Services,

I really appreciate your prompt attention to my request, thank you so very much indeed!

Thank you also for your kind wishes for my wife and I. Of course without your service it may never have happend and in ten days time on the occasion of our first wedding anniversary we will think of AFA, be assured.

We shall continue, as part of our demonstration of apprecition to refer our friends to the availability of yor splendid service!

Thank you once again.

Kindest regards

Hello Gary,

I was very surprised, that within a few hours everything has been solved. When I send my latest e-mail I didn't expect you guys will take the trouble to look for that special e-mail you did send me before.

So, you did and even more as that!!! You have solved that problem with my platinium membership and because of you where in the supposition that by totaly crash of mine computer also all the addresses I have ordered before where also gone. Which was a fact. But I didn't ask you for them, because I thought I have to pay again for the extra work it will bring you. But nothing is less true, you send them for free to me. I'm very greatfull too you. That is what I want to call: "Good Service to your clients"

And all written down in CAPITAL LETTERS.

I was writting to Irina Z. from your site. I sent her a small amount of money so she could pay some of her cost. She returned the money. (35.00) I must have offended her with the gift. She did not ask for any money, I just wanted to be nice. I write this to let the the public know not all these woman are scam artists. She has found another man and plans to marry. I wish her and her future husband the best of luck. She will be a great partner. Not because she returnd the money, but because she, like many of these women, are honest!

Thanks

Dear Fred,

Thank you for your timely handling of my passport; I received it today, and want to thank you. Paying attention to detail, followup, and speed are rare qualities in our world today. I am proud to say, you exhibit all those qualities. I am looking forward to my trip, slowly things are falling into place.

Respectfully

I met Jessica from your site July 24, 2003. I had no idea how to make a connection with someone over 8,000 miles away. I live in Michigan and Jessica is from the Philippines.

The distance barrier seemed great, but I quickly saw some qualities in Jessica that I liked and eventually grew to love. She is kind, attentive (including being a great listener), simple, adaptable, and loves her family.

Jessica and I knew each other one year when I decided to propose in July 5, 2004. The day-to-day interaction was not there, but we value many of the same things. We are both Catholic by upbringing and by faith. This faith played a strong role in telling us that we should be together

We were married in her hometown of La Libertad, Negros Oriental on December 29 2004. Getting married in her hometown was her dream and my ideal. Her entire family was there. And when I say entire, I mean ENTIRE!

Thank you again for providing a forum that has had the most profound influence, not only on the life of Jessica and me, but of her family too.

Hi Bud! This is Chris from Pennsylvania again. I was on the Sunday morning call to Kiev yesterday and I just wanted to say how wonderful it was! The two ladies were absolutely charming with their sweet voices and warm personalities! The detail in which they answered the questions showed just how mature they really are even for their young age. It's calls like this that really help to keep me motivated to finding someone special for me. I'm sure that all of the men on the call feel the same way. Thanks again Bud, for all of your help and encouragement!!

Sincerely,
