Your application to an administrator for becoming an administrator should 
probably be denied. To my knowledge, Ms. Brady does not know you well enough 
to understand your motivation for becoming an administrator. Since she made 
your application public, I suspect that she may even find your application 
to be a threatening evasion of the normal process for becoming an 
administrator. Furthermore, since you claim to represent a party, and not a 
single being with your references to "we", I think your account should be 
watched for evidence of sock-puppetry. Entrusting an account with special 
rights to an account that may already reprezent several users is clearly 
outside of [[WP:SOCK]] policy.

Dear X,

We notice you haven't edited Wikipedia for some time. Perhaps you grew
disillusioned with the project after seeing the corruption and bureaucracy
at every level? If so, why not help us to help you. We are currently
expanding our portfolio of administrator accounts, and as yours remains
dormant perhaps you could consider donating it to us - to do so will take
you only two minutes: change the password (if desired) and then reply to
this email with your login details. We'll do the rest!

Thank you for your time and consideration, and naturally do not hesitate to
contact us if you have any questions.

Kind Regards,

The Wikipedia Freedom Fighters
