Copyright e-mail

Because I need to get permission to be able to use copyrighted music by artists that are with a record label, I will be sending the following email template to the applicable record companies(e.g. Interscope Records, RCA Records):

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am putting together a short for my A2 media coursework 

We understand that you are the owner of the copyright in the musical composition <insert song name and artist here> and want to include the song in the film.  

Since we are on a limited budget and distribution of the Advert is very low budget, we are hoping that you will allow us this use without any charge.  If this is not possible, please let us know what fee would be required for this use. 

Your signature below, under “confirmed by,” will indicate that you will agree to permit this use without payment of a fee.  Please let us know if you have any questions concerning this license.  Also would you please let us know as soon as possible if this song cannot be licensed so that artistic changes may be made in the songs to be included in the production.  You can reach us in care of Mike Liddell The Oldershaw Academy, Valkyrie Road, Wallasey, Wirral CH45 4RJ,0151 638 2800, kyranotmddl@gmail.com. 

Thank you for your help with this matter and we look forward to hearing from you.

Very truly yours,

Kyran Wright
