To Whom It May Concern [or copyright holder's name],

	Thank you for your time. I use The SWORD Project for Windows.
This Bible study program uses the software library and data modules developed by 
The SWORD Project ( http://www.crosswire.org/sword/ ). The SWORD Project is a 
free, non-commercial and open source project that develops software tools that 
make writing Bible programs easy.
	I am writing you in hope that you will grant this wonderful project the right 
to distribute your work, [the name of their work, e.g. New International 
Version], as a data module that can be used in any of the many Bible study 
programs that use The SWORD Project's tools and data modules. I know 
personally it would benefit my Bible study if I had access to your very useful 
work.
	I am ready and willing, not only to pay a small fee to be able to use your 
work under The SWORD Project for Windows, but also I am standing ready to field 
any questions you might have about the project. You can contact me at the 
address below.

In Christ,
[Your Name]
