 Hello
 
 I am an editor of Wikipedia (wikipedia.org), a multilingual
 project to create a complete, accurate, and open-content encyclopedia.
 Volunteers from around the world collaboratively edit Wikipedia, which
 is one of many projects of the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation
 (wikimediafoundation.org). We depend on (photography) 
 to clearly illustrate our articles.
 
 I enjoyed your many beautiful photos of gambia 
 at your website by VT.
 However, we can only use your material if you are willing to grant
 permission for it to be used under terms of the GNU Free Documentation
 License (GNU-FDL, or GFDL for short). This means that although you
 retain the copyright and authorship of your own work, you are granting
 permission for others to use, copy, and share your materials freely,
 and even potentially use them commercially, so long as they do not try
 to claim the copyright themselves, or try to prevent others from using
 or copying them freely (e.g., "share-alike"). You can read this
 license in full at wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text of the GFDL).
 Please do note that your contributions may not remain intact as
 submitted; this license, as well as the collaborative nature of our
 project, also entitles others to edit, alter, and update them at will,
 i.e., to keep up with new information, or suit the text to a different
 purpose.  However, the license also expressly protects authors "from
 being considered responsible for modifications made by others."
 
 If you do agree to grant permission for use, we will credit you, 
 state the image was based on your work and is used with your
 permission, and provide a link back to your website.
 
 You are obviously an expert photographer. 
 I hope you will consider accepting our request.
 
 Warmest regards,
