Dear Sir,

 

We are a team of three students in Hong Kong creating a website on Genetics for the ThinkQuest Internet Challenge (http://www.thinkquest.org). We would be pleased if you gave us your (written) permission to use some of the photos and illustrations in one of your company’s books, titled

 

Modern Genetic Analysis
First Edition

Anthony J. F. Griffiths, William M. Gelbart, Jeffrey H. Miller, and Richard C. Lewontin
ISBN 0-7167-3118-5

 

, for our website at http://library.thinkquest.org/~C0122628/. The photos and illustrations are for educational use and will be appearing solely on our website. We would like to know whether or not we could do that on condition that we give due reference to the author and to the publisher and whether or not we need to ask for permission on each and every photo and illustration that we’d like to use in our site. Thank you for you kind attention.

Yours sincerely
Clement Pang
