Research and Planning: seeking permission

Seeking Permission: In order to use Lady Gagas song for our video we had to seek permission from the record company. I found out which record label Lady Gaga was with when she released Beautiful Dirty Rich. I found out she was with Cherry Tree Records, so I found there website and found out where to e-mail the company. So I wrote an email to them that went like this

Dear Madam, Sir.
My name is Christie Robbins and I am currently studying A Level Media at the New Academy Wolverhampton, England. My course enables me and my team to create our own music video. We have decided we would like to use Lady Gaga's Beautiful Dirty Rich as the backing track to our video, however, copyright laws state we must seek permission from the record label. I hope you will be kind enough to let us use this song, we assure you that our vidoe will not be published in anyway, or posted on the internet for any profit at all. Please e-mail back as soon as possible, Christie.

The company have not yet got back to me but hopefully they will before we shoot the video, if not we cannot post the video on Youtube.com or any other site and must not let it get on to the internet, or else it would be a breach of copyright.
