Great first draft from Chris, and I like the header image. I don't feel really strongly, but I would prioritise the Wikimedia UK link at the end over the Foundation's link. I question why we should mention the number of articles in English Wikipedia, above other statistics. We have a multilingual audience and we don't want the Wikinewsians and Wikiversitans to feel excluded. That was one of the lessons I took from the AGM. How about "every day, millions of people turn to Wikipedia and its sister projects..."

Chris maybe the open shouldn't SHOUT and we should summarise what is in the note straight away. ie | |||
THANK YOU => becomes | |||
This note is only to thank you for keeping Wikipedia free for the last 6 months. No reply is necessary. | |||

"P.S. To learn more about the work your donation has made possible," might say | |||
P.S. You don't need to, but if you want to learn more about etc... | |||
I suggest that we need to make it very clear that this is not an appeal for funds and merely a thank you. Maybe the title of the email can be understated too. Something like "Just a thank you for keeping Wikimedia free" [[User:Victuallers|Victuallers]] 09:52, 12 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
