<!-- NOTE TO TRANSLATORS: |
|||
This is another version of the Jimmy Letter that will be used at the end of the year. This one too re-uses many parts of "Jimmy Letter 002". |
|||
It is not very high priority, as we will use the translations of "Jimmy Letter 002" instead of this one hasn't been translated, but it would still be nice to have. |

This is it. {{2012FR/AppealTimeLeft|Only 2 days left.|Just a few hours left.}} |
|||
We’re at the time of year when people all over the world come together to sustain and protect Wikipedia. |
|||
If everyone reading this donated {{2012FR/Switch/AppealAmount|language=en|country={{{country}}}|amount=$5|$5}}, we could end the fundraiser today. Not everyone can or will donate. And that’s fine, because each year just enough people support Wikipedia with a small donation. Please make a donation of {{2012FR/Switch/AppealAmount|language=en|country={{{country}}}|amount=all|$5, €10, ¥1000}} or whatever you can to help us reach our goal before the end of the year. |
|||
Google might have close to a million servers. Yahoo has something like 13,000 staff. We have 679 servers and 95 staff. |
|||
Wikipedia is the #5 site on the web and serves 470 million different people every month – with billions of page views. |
|||
Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn't belong here. Not in Wikipedia. |
|||
Wikipedia is something special. It is like a library or a public park. It is like a temple for the mind. It is a place we can all go to think, to learn, to share our knowledge with others. |
|||
When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising, but I decided to do something different. We’ve worked hard over the years to keep it lean and tight. We fulfill our mission, and leave waste to others. |
|||
This year, please consider making a donation to protect and sustain Wikipedia. |
|||
Thanks, |
|||
'''Jimmy Wales'''<br /> |

Wikipedia Founder |
