Letter of Permission For Song Choice

Dear Sir or Madam,

I'm creating a music video for my A Level media studies coursework at Tavistock College.

I understand that you are the owner of the copyright in the musical composition 'What the Water Gave Me' by Florence and The Machine and want to create the music video to this song.  I want to use the entire song in the video as I need to create the video to the music.

Since I'm on a limited budget I'm 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. The video we create will only be seen by our teachers and the exam board. I will only upload the video to an online site called blogger which will be password protected allowing only me, my teacher and the exam board to view it.

If you could send a conformation email, this 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 changes can be made to the choice of song we use in our coursework. You can reach us in care of Darren Bird, Tavistock College, Crowndale Rd, Tavistock, Devon, PL19 8DD, 01822 614231, dbird@tavistockcollege.devon.sch.uk

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

Yours Truly,

Phoebe Atkinson
Student at Tavistock College
