I am afraid this is the wrong list for such a question. The folks on
foundation-l will probably be able to answer your question.

Hi,
Referring to the last few sentences of the letter of appeal I have a few
inquires. Take a look at the following sentences.
We want to keep it free and strong, but we need the support of thousands of
people like you.
I invite you to join us: Your donation will help keep Wikipedia free for the
whole world.
The sentence structure seems to claim that WP will place advertising if it
doesn't receive enough funding and I do believe that this isn't what we
would want.
What if WP lack of funding, will the foundation use advertising as a threat
for donation? I hope Jimmy didn't wrote that appeal personally. Perhaps it
is just another staff. No insult or criticism. I am just asking.
Let me know what you think.
Regards,
Kong Soon
