Dear sir/madam

I am an independent software consultant developing web based applications for the Microsoft Windows platform. I have recently had several enquiries for web based applications on Linux based platforms and have been wanting to try Fedora.

I have been trying for the Fedora Free Media project for the past 3 months without success. More recently, I have been religiously checking the Fedora Free Media site up until July 03, and it was indicating that the Fedora Free Media Program July 2008 is now CLOSED. Then come 4^th July, I find that the program for July has also closed. Just my luck L!!!

I was just wondering whether there is anything that you could do to assist me secure a copy of Fedora. I operate from Zimbabwe and unfortunately, I cannot afford to buy the media, we are going through some economic challenges and it is almost impossible to secure anything other than almost worthless Zimbabwe dollars. I also do not have access to credit card facilities. As such I have really been hoping to benefit from the Free Media Program.

Any assistance you can offer me would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
