Thinking about it, we can also mention that presents (for awards) would be welcome.

I like the letter.
One question though, would we accept "donations" from "corporations" that are, well, not "good" ?.
For example: I don't know how I would feel getting publicity from Microsoft at Wikimania 07.

Good question...
Question that goes beyond just Wikimania. I think it would be perfectly fine getting a sponsorship from Bill and Melinda Foundation. From Microsoft...
I suggest people to go and ask for sponsors use their good sense. If asking to a Foundation and a corporation we generally feel fine toward, just go ahead. If they think of contacting a corporation which is ethically questionnable for us, better ask before and measure feedback ?
I would not write to Microsoft myself.

One thing I still need to know is which specific events we can still propose for sponsorship.
Is someone specifically covering
- the breakfasts
- the lunches
- the big party
- the sponsor party
- the hacking days
- the citizen unconference
- the wikireaders
- the awards (some already covered)
- the scholarship (aside from CHT)
- or whatever else we could sell...
I still am looking for this information :-)
