Well, he *did* say it was his final email!
I'd imagine the unsubscribe link would get you off the "former donors we can spam" list without removing you from this august list.
Cheers, Craig

Is there any way to unsubscribe from these annoying and in my opinion misleading spam mails purporting to come from Jimmy Wales without unsubscribing from any other Wikimedia mailing lists or e-mail notifications?
Cheers,

Inside this email: fun fact from Wikipedia
Dear Peter,
When the clock strikes midnight, our email fundraiser will end — but we haven't yet hit our goal. Please take one minute to renew your R 50 < https://donate.wikimedia.org/?utm_campaign=C1617_Email3& utm_medium=email&appeal=Appeal-JimmyQuote&utm_source= sp52077018&hpc=35.00&uselang=en&contact_id=7476197&link_id=2> donation to Wikipedia.
If all our past donors simply gave again today, we wouldn't have to worry about fundraising for the rest of the year.
We’re a small nonprofit. We’re independent. We don’t run ads or sell services to our readers. Though our size requires us to maintain the server space and programming power of a top site, we are sustained by the support of our donors who give an average of about R 175. This year, will you take one minute to keep our work going?

Thank you, Jimmy Wales Wikipedia Founder
