I suppose the Obama campaign authorized that letter, but it wasn't
Obama or his campaign that sent it.

I think that "From:" line is a little bogus. I'm an Obama supporter,
and the Obama campaign knows I'm in Philadelphia, but they didn't send
me that message directly. Like Sharrieff I got a copy of it from
phillyforfattah.com, who seem to be sending it out unsolicited (a.k.a.
spam).
Obama signed on with the Fattah campaign awhile ago, when it looked
like more of a sure thing. He'll probably be just as happy with Nutter
or Evans (or Knox for that matter), if that's what it comes down to.
Now, speaking of Obama:
On Tuesday May 22nd -- after the mayoral race is decided -- Barack
Obama is visiting Philadelphia. He'll be at the Electric Factory, 421
N. 7th St. Doors open at 4pm, and the event starts at 5pm or so.
Tickets in advance are $50 for average folks, $25 for students, and
$100 if you want "VIP" treatment.
For more info and for tickets, here's the link:

(The cost of admission is treated as a contribution to the Obama
campaign.)

For good measure, here's a thread at youngphillypolitics.com comparing
(at many points) Fattah and Nutter:

Dear Friend,
In eight short days, you have the chance to put my friend, Chaka
Fattah, on the path to becoming Philadelphia's next Mayor.

Thank you so much.
