To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to you from the Photo Research department of Jones and Bartlett Publishers. I am currently working on the second edition of an educational textbook by Dr. Lynne Cassimeris and colleagues titled, "Lewin's Cells." The authors of this project have requested to use the image shown here: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/ImageGallery/entries/actin/actin.html A hi-res version of the image has been downloaded from the website. I'd like to inquire how best to proceed with obtaining permission to use this figure. WE do have our own standard permission letter, and if this would be acceptable, I'd be happy to follow up and address the letter to the appropriate contact. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.
