Copyright Issues

I have been working of my filming and time management, while during lesson's I have been looking for music for my second Advert, i chose Mission Impossible Theme written by Lalo schifrin, as the song is copyrighted I had to contact him asking for permission to use the music, traditionally this is done by a letter however i couldn't find a address on his site however I did find a email address set up for just copyright music I then wrought a email addressing copyrighter in this email I wrought-

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am putting together a Advert for my A2 media coursework 

We understand that you are the owner of the copyright in the musical composition “Mission Impossible Theme” and want to include the song in the advert.  

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 LiddleThe Oldershaw Academy a Busness & Enterprise College Valkyrie Road, Wallasey, Wirral CH45 4RJ,0151 638 2800, sammy.17@hotmail.co.uk. 

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

Very truly yours,


Samantha Breen

I used my own email address so that I would receive his email back and work with his reply.
