This what I think they mean. There are differences between the Belarus and Russian keyboards The Belarus keyboard has no backwards n. I think I have worked out all the details as I have done this before.
For the start of inquiry of biography you have to pay a deposit. Currently deposit is for 1 of several events like birthday, marriage or death of this person. The deposit is equal to 1/2 day labor or $12. US. In case there are no results found you will still be required to pay the deposit. Max payment is $25 US which includes the deposit. Searching for this information may take up to 2 weeks maximum. After the deposit is received they will start the process. The highlighted text says that only after the deposit is rec'd will they begin the search. After the search is completed they will send you a letter with the results even if there are no results found. 9790 Belo-Russian rubles = $1.00 US. Try that!

Chris,

If you have it as a PDF with possibility to copy/paste the text, then you may use Google translate (on any translate). Or just post it as PDF, not JPG.

This letter starts with INFORMATION NOTICE in bold.

The first sentence typed (takes time) is:
Для начапа работ по исполнению запроса вам необходимо внести аванс (предоплату)
To fasten work on executing a query you need to pay in advance (prepayment).

Explanations follows.

I am sure that Ryszard (Staripolak) can read and translate, but here an automatic translate will do.

Best,
Elzbieta

I have had some real wonderful translations from the old Russian Cyrillic and I hope this will be a simple matter.

Thank you in advance. I am searching for my Great Great Grandparents marriage record of 1855. This is my last hope in locating the file.
