Dear Officer,

I am writing to describe the circumstances of my brief marriage to Olga Fedoryaka/Moffat in 1997. I first met Olga in about November of 1996 at the mall in Mesa, Arizona. We began dating shortly thereafter. I really enjoyed spending time with her. As we spent more time together we started talking about getting married.

We got married in early 1997, but we didn’t move in together right away because we both had leases on our apartments that had time left on them. As the first few weeks went by after getting married, Olga spoke to me about how she felt we had gotten carried away and rushed into this. She wasn’t sure that our attraction to each other was going to be able to develop into an enduring relationship. After about a month, Olga told me that the best thing would be for us to file for divorce and put the whole thing behind us.

I never filed any immigration paperwork for Olga, and although I knew she was having some problems with her visa, that wasn’t the reason we got married. We were having a good time dating, got carried away and decided to get married, and then realized that maybe getting married wasn’t the best thing for us right then.

I understand that Olga is now engaged to Andrew DeFaria, and it seems like they have had a lot of time to make sure that this is the right thing for the two of them. I wish them the best in their future together.

If you have any questions, I can be reached at the address above.

I swear under penalty of perjury that the statements above are true to the best of my knowledge.

Sincerely,

John A. Miller
