Letter to You Me At Six requesting permission to use "Stay With Me"

To make sure that our video is not infringing the rights of the band we have drafted a letter to send to them, asking for permission to use their song. Here it is:

"Dear You Me At Six

I am writing to you on behalf of my school (Epsom and Ewell high school) to ask for permission to use your song “Stay With Me” in my 6^th form media class’ media coursework.

I’m an A level student studying media and as part of our coursework for the course, we have to create a music video, CD cover and advert to promote a single. Our group decided on your song and as such we are writing to you to ask for permission to use your song. We understand that under the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 we do not have to ask for permission as this is for educational and non-profit purposes, however out of courtesy we would still like to extend to you this letter asking for express written permission.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we hope to hear from you soon,

Yours sincerely,

Tom Burlinson, Sophie Griffin, Pryank Patel and Shanice Farley"
