BROOKING, J.A.:

1. Mr Kanjo, we have considered your application for leave to appeal against the sentence passed upon you on 17 May of this year on three counts of obtaining property or financial advantage by deception.

2. We do not think the sentence could be described as manifestly excessive. We do not think the judge is shown to have gone wrong in any of the ways you have suggested. We have had a careful look at the letter from Nicole Lawrence. Strictly speaking, we cannot receive this evidence at this stage, but we can tell you that, even if we were able to have regard to it, it would not affect the outcome of your application, which must be, and is, dismissed.
