Dear Mario,

Hope all is well. Thank you so much for thinking of us again with
this. As you know Mozilla is very supportive of Gnome, from the
sponsorship Mozilla has done for Gnome's accessibility support,
sponsorship of GUADEC this year, not to mention many other efforts
over the years.  However, unfortunately we are particularly busy this
fall with Firefox 3.7 and Thunderbird 3.0 coming out and have to
politely decline this request for sponsorship at this time.  If your
event participants would appreciate some swag items from Mozilla, we
should be able to contribute something if appropriate?  Please keep in
touch and let us know of your future events and hopefully we can find
a way to collaborate on a future event.
Kind wishes and many thanks
Jane
