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.

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.

I actually sent it in this mailing list because, I came across that while translating.
Although I don't like the way it is written, I translated it based on the original version.

People on this mailing list are just translators of the messages, like you are. If you want to talk to the people who wrote this message, you will have to mail to foundation-l or to Jimbo himself.
