Hey Andrew!

It's just a student concept me and my partner came up with. We tried to
find a way to help Wikipedia collect donations, it was a brief for a
student competition. but we never heard about your project before- seems
like we're not the only ones who had that idea.

please accept our apologies, we really didnt know about your website. We
thought it would be a great idea to do something like this, but you guys
pulled off exactly what we wanted to do.
