[Translators-l] [Fundraising 2008] Important: Appeal

[Kong Soon Lim]

I actually sent it in this mailing list because, I came across that while translating. 

Although I don't like the way it is written, I translated it based on the original version.

I am afraid this is the wrong list for such a question. The folks on
