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

	Thank you for your time. I use Xiphos
( http://www.xiphos.org/ ). 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 Xiphos, 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]
