Dear Anonymous Fund,

prior to putting our best ideas in detail to you, I hereby apply as
follows in order to establish proof of substance of the Anonymous
Fund:


I apply for $1 million, which is 1/75th of the published fund amount,
which shall be used for:


 a) The purchase of 30 Librem 5 mobile phones for use by myself and a
    few of my cohorts in freedom.

    I shall use at least one of these phones as a test bed for
    software development.

    This will total around $21,000.


 b) The purchase of 30 Purism laptops, for use by myself and a few of
    my freedom loving cohorts.

    I shall personally use two of these laptops to upgrade my ageing
    laptop, for the development of libre freedom protecting
    software.

    This will total around $90,000.


 c) The balance of the $1 million, I shall donate to the Puri.sm
    enterprise to continue furthering their work creating the best
    freedom respecting hardware that they are capable of creating.


See https://puri.sm/about/ for further details about Purism and their
awesome vision of creating hardware which respects our freedom and is
not a walled garden where we are locked in, but where we may easily
modify and add and remove our own chosen software.

I shall obtain from Purism a letter of gratitude for the donation,
and ask that they publish this letter on their website, as proof that
the donation has been made by way of receipt of funds from the
Unknown Fund, via myself.

Thank you,
Zenaan Harkness
