I did not expect to lose all the cash but do not worry we have two forms and one has miraa grown on it. I lost 100K on sport pesa.

I also lost 30K to a different betting firm.

I have suffered enough trying to make it in this life to no avail so I have gone t live with my mother."

I took myself to the police but they refused to detain me.

Your money will not go down the drain as I have a piece of land,' Robert wrote on the note
