Seeking Permission

Dear Kid Cudi,

Myself and my partner Will are from The Fitzwimarc School studying media studies. The reason we need to make a music video is purely for educational purposes. We have been set the task to create a music video for our A level course.

We are planning to take the music video in a different direction to what you have due to the fact that we do not have access to special effects to put onto the video. we hope that you take this in consideration for us.

Yours sincerely

Will and Alfie

This is the email we have sent to the artist to gain permission to use his song.
