Nothing too suspicious yet though,except that she doesn't answer any of my questions nor that she mentioned anything that ment she read my letters. It seems like a one-way communication and all I have to do is click "reply" to get the next one.

May be best to just send her some questions, or mention something really silly in an email and see if she responds to that, if she ignores it, she may well just be sending out hundreds of emails and you are one of them. Most scammers don't have time to read every little detail and reply individually.

My last email to her was just one question.
She totally ignored it and sent me a long (albeit nice to read) letter back. But I have to re-adjust my opinion, because I think she is just young and naive and does not know how to charm my feelings :o

One of the hallmarks of scammer correspondence is that the scammer is having a conversation with himself. "My day," "my friends," "my job," "the weather," and on and on. You are a supernumerary.
So, you need to take a hard look at your correspondence with "her" and try to figure it out.
TomT:
The anonymous nature of Internet correspondence is the root of many problems. Irrespective of whether one is in contact with a sincere girl or with a scammer, the sooner that one shifts to telephone conversations, the better. It is human nature that a person who is hopeful of a relationship will want to hear your voice. On the other hand, the last thing that a scammer wants to do is to spend hours on the telephone having sappy conversations with a lovestruck fool.
Nonetheless, Google is still a valuable resource and ought to be used as a matter of due diligence.

mje,
You should be aware that it is not uncommon for RW to ignore a question which they either do not like or do not know how to answer. This delightful trait has the effect of producing a false positive when using failure to answer as a basis for establishing sincerity.
