I was able to download it with a little bit of waiting.
Yeah the letter looks legit. Looks like they are using the GB as the letterhead, probably because of legal reasons.
I doubt its fake, but maybe more Elders can vouch it is real.

New "Donation Arrangement" is a DECOY!
by The Searcher input yourself in the org's position - distasteful as that is - and come up with a solution to solve the problems of not only recovering their stock market losses, but also, ensuring an increase in their dwindling revenue stream.. the major problem is, donations are voluntary (with no future guarantees) whereas pledges are compulsory - in the heart and mind of the giver!.
however, far too many will probably forget/refuse to keep up their monthly tax - with no way of knowing who is 'paying the man', and who is not.
master stroke - make plan a 100% certainty to fail in the first year, based on the 'anonymity' of the setup.

I remember when I woke up.
A couple months before I did, they had a census for what donations for the new KH we would give. I'm well off and before waking up had put on the census something like 1,000 bucks.
But, when I woke up and was cornered by the Elders for a letter I wrote the WT, I decided to stop all donations (wansn't mad, just felt that the whole lotta money I donated so far should be good enough.
Anyway, a few weeks later, an Elder that cornered me gave an announcement from the platform that we should all try and pay what we promised.
LOL! Come and take it if you want it, come and take it if you can, come and take it but I'll warn ya...you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands!

"the u.s. supreme court turned away an appeal from a new mexico wedding photographer found to have violated a state anti-discrimination law when she refused to take pictures of a commitment ceremony for a same-sex couple.. the photographer, elaine huguenin, argued unsuccessfully that she was being unconstitutionally forced to convey a message conflicting with her religious beliefs.

@viviane:
You need to use another dictionary. Dictionary.com is more of a Wikipedia, not a scholarly dictionary. Oxford, Merriam-Webster, etc. are examples of scholarly dictionaries.
Quoting one union of a same sex couple is cherry picking a rare instance.
The fact is that the term marriage is defined as between man and woman. So, why are same sex couples trying to change the definition.
Actually, answer this question!
Why would same sex partners WANT to use a term that so closely associates their union with thousands of years of same sex union?

@viviane & devanmuvan
I'm just quoting the DICTIONARY.
Regardless of whether polygamy was practiced, it was still between a man and woman.
So, you are trying to change the definition of marriage?
And I ask again, why don't same sex couples just coin their own term?

Can you please provide proof that marriage "meant something besides that"?

The Oxford dictionary says that marriage is
a. The condition of being a husband or wife; the relation between persons married to each other; matrimony.
I don't understand why same-sex couples just don't coin a new term for their union. Why do they have to COPY heterosexual's term?

The gay rights bandwagon is a cult in of itself. It pushes its agenda onto others 'personal' lives and businesses. I uninsalled all Mozilla programs from my PC because of the Mozilla CEO resignation from gay marriage pressure. I am proud to be anti-gay marriage. However, I am not against the gay person themselves. I love them as much as I do a straight person. I just don't agree the definition of marriage should be changed.
And I am proud, proud, proud to write this!
