Permission Letter

In order to create a music video we have been required to send an e-mail to the record company asking for permission to use the song we have decided to do. The song we have decided on is 'The Fear' by Lily Allen and the record label is EMI music. This has to be done for copyright issues and therefore our video will not be uploaded to file sharing networks like YouTube as this will be compromising the educational purpose of the module.

Here is a copy of the email:

Dear Sir/Madam

We are four British students currently studying for an A-Level qualification in Media Studies. As part of the coursework we need to create a Music Video for a popular song.

We have chosen to use Lily Allen's song 'The Fear', and for copyright reasons we have been required to contact the record company to ask for permission to use the song.

The video would only be used for examination purposes and will not be shown in public in any way, for example YouTube and Facebook. We would be extremely grateful if you would grant us permission to use this song.

If we have contacted the incorrect department, could you please forward this e-mail onto someone who can answer our query.

We hope to hear from you soon and would appreciate your co-operation with this matter.
Kind Regards,

Georgia Day, Georgia Angove, Leila Robertson and Sarah Panzetta
