A Foreign Affair Services Testimonials

You did what you said you do, on your site and on the phone.

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 database 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.
