Asking Permission from a record company

Asking Permission from a record company;

We are aware of needing to request permission to use the song from the artists record label. Below shows the content of an email that asks permission to use the Coldplay song 'Clocks'.

To whom it may concern, (Parlophone)

We are currently studying music videos in A Level Media Studies and as part of our coursework we have to produce a music video for an artist. We would like to request that we use Coldplay's 'Clocks' for the music video we will create and edit as we feel it lends itself well to a A level project.
We would ask for permission to be granted for this.
We can be contacted through our teacher at the school - gwillcox@chelmer.essex.sch.uk

Many thanks, we look forward to hearing from you
