PCC, Just a quick note to thank you for your penpal service. I married a fine filipina 5 years ago after using your sevice. At 50 I now have a 2 month old son and have finally found happiness. The ladies come to us with no american style mental baggage just a big open heart and the expectations that are born of love and hope. Once here other "finas" gladly take them under their wing and make their transition easier. The community here is large and friendly. I am still getting letters after 6 years. My advice to your subscribers is to embrace both cultures and always treat the girls with respect and honesty. They ask very little beyond love and trust and will respond 10 fold. There is some hassel with the INS and I feel that it's better to seek a fiance VISA in lieu of marriage visa in order to work out INS problems here rather than by three way mail.It's much faster and the lady is here with you during the process. If any of your prospective clients would like to email me for insights they may do so. Thanks again. Gary and Sussan, Madison Al

Dear Pacific Century Club;
I'm writing to you to express my gratitude of your services in which you offer. In 1994, I ordered several of that years catalogues. I believe it was the either Summer 1994, or the Spring 1994 issue in which I started writing to Miss Analisa [last name deleted]. She was living in Hong Kong at the time.
We wrote for about 1 year when we decided to meet each other after my graduation from college. I flew to Hong Kong in December of 1995. We fealt very comfortable and compatible with each other due to our correspondence. We really hit it off well together almost from the get go. We were married 1 month later in January of 1996 at her parents house in the Philippines. We've been married now for 4 years and it has truelly been the most amazing experience of my life. We both feel we've been blessed due to your services.
We are now both living and working in Florida and are as happy as can be. I can honestly say that distance does not matter when it is truelly love.
Sincerely,
Kevin [last name deleted]

Dear Pacific Century Club,
Hi I'm married to one of your PCC member 5 years ago and noticed not one woman from overseas ever thank you (on the internet) for making her dreams come true in marrying a foreigner.
I for one didn't think or dream of anything like that. Fortunately, fate lead me into marrying a Caucasian, named David -- my hero and protector, I'm a Filipina.
It's his 39th birthday today (4-2-99). I wish him a very happy birthday and that I love him for-ever. And I would like to thank you for publishing my name in your magazine where my husband found me -- his true love as he say it.
We are now very blessed with a handsome healthy baby boy (named Joshua) about 8 months old who brings us so much joy and happiness.
Thank you PCC for the happiness you brought into my life.
Sincerely,
Sally

Dear Pacific Century,
I have been very happy with your service! When I had ordered your Japan-List back in July of 1997 I was a skeptic. I have found a nice penpal in Tokyo to which we correspond on a monthly base. I would recommend your services to anyone. It's a professional and dignified way to meet women overseas! Much thank-you's for such a wonderful service.

Hi, I had placed an ad in Japan through you, and I wanted to let you know the results. From the ad which you placed, I got about 9 responses, 4 of which became regular correspondents. From the ad you distributed through your flyer, I got another 20 or so responses and again about 4 or 5 became regular correspondents. There was a big drawback in the PCC ad in that it had my phone number, and a number of filipina girls were very aggressive in calling; collect of course. The ad in Japan was better in that some of the Japanese women had e-mail and began writing that way. Over this past holiday, one of the women came to Florida to spend her vacation with me. After corresponding for about 6 months, I still didn’t have a clear idea of how it would turn out, but we hit it off immediately and strongly, and before she returned to Osaka we were engaged. In a couple weeks I am traveling to Osaka to visit her and meet her family, and she will be returning permanently to the US in June. I’m rather amazed at how well it went, and how perfect a match she turned out to be. It was as if I had custom designed my match! The biggest surprise in the responses was the diversity of the women, ranging from one in the west coast of the USA, all the way around to Kiev; and in age from 16 to 37.

This is a small letter to thank you very much for your writing service. Because of your service I was able to find a pen-pal who is now my wife.
We began to write each other about 2 years ago, and quickly became friends. Last March I went to England, where she was studying English and visited her for the first time. We hit it off and our relationship grew fonder with every letter after our first meeting.
We spoke on the telephone and I visited her a few more times. We began talking about marriage last June and on July 14th we married in Florida where I live. She finished her studies and is presently living with me here in Miami.
Enclosed is a photograph on our wedding day at the reception which was held at our home.
Once again, I thank you very much for your service and appreciate all the answers you gave me to the questions I sent you via correspondence.

Dear Sir or Ma'am:
I recently got married to one of the Pacific Century girls from Japan. Your service over the years has been very helpful to me to find the right person to share my life with.
I met my wife in Japan and in return she visited me in California. From there we made plans for our future. We got married in Hawaii in May. We had a wonderful ceremony with her family attending from Japan and my family attending from the mainland. So once again thank you and your service in bringing my wife and myself together.

Dear Sirs,
Thanks to your publication I am now happily married to a Filipina and have a beautiful 18 month old daughter. Thanks again for your help.

Your service has been terrific. I really appreciate all that you have done with aiding my interests. I would like to tell you that I have received many, many, many letters from different areas of the East. I had been with another agency before, but I had never received so many connections from them as I have from you and your staff.
I have included another order, but this time only for stamps. I have found them to be extremely necessary (especially in HK) and since I am developing a very nice relationship with a very lovely person, I need these stamps as soon as possible. :)
Once again, thanks for everything and I will keep you updated.
John - Connecticut, USA
Dear Sirs: With this order for more Malaysian and Philippine stamps I wish to extend my thanks for the services of your organization.Like most individuals I suppose I was somewhat skeptical of what the results of joining your club would be, let me say now that you have far exceeded my expectations. In particular your Personal Profile Mailing Service has brought letters to my mailbox regularly and is worth far more than what I paid for it.
That such intelligent, loving, kind and unspoiled women still exist in this world is, to me, amazing. When you spoke in your pamphlet of the warmth and friendliness of Filipina and Malaysian women and their gentleness you did not exaggerate in the slightest. I am proud to say that I belong to this wonderful club and have already recommended you to several other men of my acquaintance. I know that, right now, they do not entirely believe me when I describe Pacific Century to them, but they will!
Once again, my thanks to you!
David - Mount Vernon, Washington, USA
Dear Pacific Century,Last year, I answered one of your ads regarding correspondence with Asian ladies. I received your Summer issue and thought "what the heck, why not give it a try," I sent out approximately 20 letters and the reply ratio was 99%.
Out of those first 19 letters, I chose one that I thought looked promising and my life has not been the same since. I have been married before and I thought I knew what love was until I met this beautiful woman. Since that first letter back in June of 1990, I have visited her in Hong Kong and we are planning an August wedding in Hong Kong.
Words cannot express the joy and happiness this woman has brought to my life all because of an ad of yours I saw in a magazine somewhere.
In the brochure you provide along with your magazine describing some of the attributes these Asian women possess, I would like to add that these women are like nothing I have ever experienced before. I encourage anyone who has the desire to want someone in their lives who will love them for who they are not for what they are to "go for it" as your future happiness could only be a stamp away and it sure beats the bars.
Your magazine has a very professional quality to it. Keep up the good work. Thank you again.
Yours truly,
G. - Phoenix, Arizona, USA
Dear Pacific Century,Thanks for taking care of my P.C.C. membership renewal and for sending me a copy of my earlier personal profile.
I feel that I received an excellent response from my profile listing.
You were wondering what effect "Especially Japanese" had in terms of my personal listing. Well, some non-Japanese girls asked why I expressed that preference, and others talked about their interest in Japanese culture or work at a Japanese firm. One of the Japanese girls told me later that she would not have written me had that statement not appeared in my profile.
This same Japanese girl traveled to the United States just last month for a job interview, and decided to stop in Atlanta to see me! Now I don't know whether she considers me marriage material, but we are definitely good friends. I was so flattered yesterday when she called me from Tokyo. We exchanged letters by fax, which is a nice alternative to airmail.
I'll let you know if my Pacific Century correspondence turns into anything permanent. Thanks for your help, and for directing a first-class organization.
Sincerely yours,
John - Atlanta, Georgia, USA
P.S. Your cultural orientation pamphlet is excellent, even vital. Many of us need that advice.
Dear Pacific Century,I ordered your summer magazine and was quite impressed. I just wanted to write you and thank you. as I thumbed through the magazine, one young lady stuck out to me above all the rest. Her name is Maria Brigida Bacalso. I didn't need to look any farther as I knew she was the one. At the time I didn't even know if she was spoken for or not. I made her a video tape of this part of the country and a letter of introduction. That was back in September and we are getting married by proxy next week. She is a very special lady as I get a letter from her daily and she calls every Sunday night and has never asked me for a penny. Again, let me thank you for your magazine and for Maria.
Sincerely,
Donald - Tyler, Texas, USA
Dear Sir:Please take my name off your mailing list. I met a beautiful Japanese lady through your services and I am very pleased with her. We were married 23 Oct 91 in Japan. I might add; anyone else going to Japan to get married should take a lot of money because it is very expensive over there.
Yours truly,
Allan - Marina, California, USA
Dear Pacific Century,My membership fee was truly a tiny price to pay for the happiness it has given me and the promise of a life richer than I ever could have imagined!
Sincerely yours,

Dear sir/madam:Your Introduction Service is simply the best. Ever since I first saw your advertisement in a magazine six months ago, and after purchasing a copy of your Winter issue, my life hasn't been the same. Making new friends, understanding different cultures and customs through letter exchange is both exciting and educational as well as rewarding, if that one exchange later on leads to finding the right mate for life.
At first I thought your magazine was a little expensive, but then again, can one put a price on friendship or even a possible long term relationship? The advice booklet included in the package was indispensable, providing me with the basics on how to deal with foreign correspondence situations.

Dear Pacific Century,I would like to express my sincere thanks for your high-quality service. Your magazine is certainly the best of it's kind because I've seen them all! Of all the clubs I've been a member of, Pacific Century is definitely top of the heap. Thanks to you, I've met dozens of beautiful girls from Japan, China, The Philippines and Malaysia. Many of them are now my good friends and I know that my life will be enriched for years to come thanks to Pacific Century.
Sincerely, Robert - Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Dear Pacific Century Club,I just want to thank you for your service. I married a woman you listed that lived in Malaysia. We married there last year and now we are living together here in The States. Your tips on handling immigration matters proved to be very valuable. We're proof of that!
I have just one regret: I wish I would have joined P.C.C. years ago! Your service is the greatest!
Thanks Again
Dear Madam or Sir:Joining the Pacific Century organization has been one of the most rewarding things that I have ever done. At first I was sort of skeptical. But since those reply letters started arriving I have been almost overwhelmed with enthusiasm. My new friends are so much fun to write with. I am even learning to write new languages. Thank you for providing such a special service.
Cordially yours, Mark - Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
Dear P.C.C.While visiting Japan, Singapore, Thailand and Korea, I had the opportunity to meet some of the women I have been corresponding with. This was the first time in my life for me to meet Asian women. I had no idea they were exactly what I realized I was always looking for in a woman!
I'm enthusiastically continuing my correspondence now and looking forward to my next chance to meet my new friends.
Yours truly, Raymond - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
Pacific Century:I just want to take this time to say thank you very much. I have found a very beautiful young lady in Hong Kong. Her name is Emma and I found her in the Fall, 1990 P.C.C. magazine. We've been writing to each other since last October. And now we are planning our wedding this year. We are both very much in love. Once again, thanks again for your service. If we can do it, so can anyone else! Thanks again from me and Emma.
Yours Sincerely, Donald, Tustin, California, USA
Dear Pacific Century,Until I got your brochure, I had never seriously considered looking to another country in my search for happiness. But despite that, I joined Pacific Century and in just a few months met a wonderful girl who has since become my wife. I wonder what I would have done if your club hadn't led me East, too. So my advice to anyone who's hesitating about becoming a member is to put their skepticism aside and try it! You have everything to gain and nothing to loose.
Thanks again, Bill, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
