Letter to artist

In order to be able to use their song, we need to email the artist/record company to request permission for making a music video. Before I send it off I thought it would be important to create a draft. 

Dear Sir/Madam
My peer and I are 17 year old Alevel students currently doing Media studies at George Spencer sixth form. As part of our media Alevel we are required to make a music video and I have chosen to use the song 'Fluorescent adolescent' by the Artic monkeys. We will make our own music video for this track and it will then be published to youtube so the examiner can see and it can be moderated, however it will not be seen by the wider public. We would like to request your permission to use this song?

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 us using this.  Also would you please let us know as soon as possible if this song cannot be licensed so that we can change it and it will not impact our media course timeline. 

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

Yours sincerely, 

Isobel Humphriss  and Emma snow
