Just one thing for me:
“Thank you to our donors, including *you* Nick, who wrote us this inspiring letter.”
I’d drop the “you”, personally?

All three blurbs LGTM. How about including a link to donate.wikimedia.org (perhaps without preview image)?

Hello everyone,
I'm just asking for the approval to post Nick's letter to our F/G
Wikipedia
accounts. Perhaps we could include a short blurb about thanking our
donors
to introduce it?
Here it is:
"I must say I rarely donate to fundraisers, but the message I saw today
made
me realize something very important. That something is about you,
Wikipedia,
and how you have been a huge part of my life for close to a decade now. Wikipedia, I just want to take this time to express my deep and sincere feelings for you. You have always been by my side, and have guided me through my best and my worst times. During those stressful late nights trying finish my reports, you showed me the way. During those arguments
with
my friends about various trivial topics, you always had my back. During those dull conversations, you always had a random article to liven
things up
again. You are beautiful in every way. From your subtle but elegant pale blue background, to your vastness of simplistic, clear and plentiful hyperlinks containing a wealth of exciting topics to feast your eyes
upon. I
love your sleek sidebar containing all the most important information
about
a topic. But your most beautiful feature of all, your immense volume of knowledge and your admirable generosity and passion to share this with
the
world, free-of-charge. Wikipedia, I love you.
Yours truly, Nick"
