[OSM-newbies] Sending letter asking my local authority, my first time

[Niklas Cholmkvist]

Hello,

I have a map which the technical service of my local authority gave me
when I visited their building and asked for a map, showing the
geographical boundaries of this authority.

I now have a letter ready to be sent to them. Since it is in the Greek
language I've translated it to English, and made it a bit more general,
so it could point to any local
authority. I've searched in the wiki a bit in the past for a map use
request to a local authority, but just found such information scattered
around. Anyway, here is the letter:

<letter>
Map of Municipality of Sykies

To: Technical Service of the Municipality of Sykies – Department of city
planning & Cadastre
Address: Lechovou 4
Postal Address: 566 26

Hello,

I'm interested in using information that exists on the map and use it
(either as is or with changes) in a database of the organisation
openstreetmap. The geographical information that exist in this database
is licensed under Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported [1].

Openstreetmap is an organisation which tries to create a free map where
volunteers help out with geographical information, from many places of
the world.
If it's not possible, may I have your permission to use the information
of the map of the municipality of Sykies and add them to the database of
openstreetmap?

I'm waiting for your reply

My name
My address and postcode
My regular phone
My cell/mobile number
My email

If you have any suggestions on changes, or know of a place in the wiki
where something like a template for such a letter can be found I would
be happy.

Bye
