Hello Robert,

We're so pleased to celebrate Software freedom day in our community,
the first of its kind in our country. We are trying our best to get
the necessary support from universities, schools and the government.
The band width in our country is so low that it's simply impossible to
download big software.  So, I'd really appreciate if you could send us
some copies of Ubuntu, OpenOffice.org and other free and open source
software.

regards,
asmelash
