<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Mr. Jimmy Wales,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I hope this note finds you in good health and spirit. I work for the Aboriginal Affairs Branch at the Department of Canadian Heritage in the capital region of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. We came upon your website, Wikipedia Encyclopedia and have found your work regarding Indigenous languages to be very useful.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are in the process of creating a website for our Policy and Research Directorate and would like to use your website as a link for people to research Aboriginal/Indigenous issues. This is simply creating a hyperlink under the word Wikipedia so that people can then visit and learn from your site. We are wondering if you would permit us to do that.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">In addition, because our website is linked to the Government of Canada, it is useful for sites to be bilingual (English and French). Is there a French version of the Indigenous website? </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response. I can be contacted at 819 994 2257</font>
<br>
