Dear Mathieu,
I am sorry to trouble you with this request.
We at World Health Organization has been trying to ban smoking in public areas in China for the past 3 years in the 337 cities here. So far, we have achieved 0. Quite sad!
We are taking advantage of the Shanghai Expo UN pavilion to show the audience about our smoke free programs. Part of the introduction highlights some of the cities that we have done work in, and are now smoke free. (Slide show of cities). The showing is a one time only event and will not be repeated at any other time. Therefore the material that we request will only be used once.
We are interested in highlighting your work , with full attribution of course, and show the audience about the city and the people. We would greatly appreciate if you could suggest other photo also. We are currently interested in your New York night photo.
We appreciate your great contributions to this course and we feel forever indebted.
We need your permission to use this photo.
Best Regards!
