Hi all
I have recently joined the fundraiser team - for the Netherlands. And as part of this task
have just subscribed to this list. I was hapy to see two messages of other editors asking
for proofreading and other things.
I have read the new Jimmy appeal - as it said 'needs proofreading' I checked it
and 'localized' it, and took out some mistakes.
If anyone wants to hear why I changed the things I did, I am happy to answer your
questions.
I am still puzzled by the phrase "... and leave the waste to others " in the
original letter. I kept it in the Dutch version - even though I don't know what Jimmy
means. I would welcome responses to that question. (In fact, without any explanation I am
inclined to leave it out - it is not my idea of a good persuasive text to leave in empty
words.)
As we want to start using it as soon as possible, I would very much appreciate if someone
could (proof)read it one more time.
Thank you very much,
Corinne
