i'm dead serious.
"Hello my dear John!!!
I have very good news!!!
Today when I came to my work. The boss has congratulated me.
She promised me to give the premium and she made it, I has received my
premium (10000 rubles or about 400 $ US dollars!!!)
also I have received my monthly salary for holidays (22000 rubles or
920 $)!!!
Earlier I never received the premiums like this...
Since tomorrow's day I shall have my holidays.
The last year I did not take vacation and now I can take 30 or 60
days.
Today I had a very difficult day and I gave all reports and papers to
the colleagues that they will need till I will come back to my work.
I am so happy today.. I wait for your congratulations.
May be for your country it not so big money, but believe me for Russia
it's the big money.
I did not decided yet what I will do during my holiday, but I will think
about it today.
Can you give any advice about what to do in my holiday???
Have you got any ideas? May be I will travel. I told you before that I
want to see other countries, other culture.
I never was abroad earlier. OK, dear I have very good mood and I wish
you good mood also.
Your best friend from Russia Elena."
