Subject: Permission to Use Microsoft Copyrighted Content
Dear Mr. Smith:
We are contacting Microsoft because we are requesting permission for the right to use screen shots of your Office software application in the Slatco Office Thermal Binder Quick Start Guide User Manual.
Slatco is in the business of manufacturing thermal binders. The user manual for our latest binder, the TB 660 Office Thermal Binder, is currently being written. We respectfully request your support as the copyright holder of the Office software application to allow us the right to use screen shots free of charge in our Quick Start Guide. We assure you that the full name of your product and the statement, “Used with permission from Microsoft,” will accompany each screen shot.
In addition, in accordance with the requirements of Microsoft:
* We will not alter any screen shot except to resize it.
* We will not use portions of screen shots.
* We will not include screen shots in our product user interface. * We will not use screen shots that contain third-party content. * We will not use screen shots that contain an image of an identifiable individual. We would appreciate your response by November 20. The manual is scheduled for completion no later than February 20. Would you please indicate your permission below and return this request? An extra copy is enclosed for your records. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Michael Slater
