Hi Simon,
Hope all is well. I am assuming you just need something in writing to use the picture I had previously sent you. Yes, Love Heals approves the usage of Alison Gertz photograph (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AliBrochure_small.jpg). Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Best, Ellen

Subject: Picture of Alison on Wikipedia
Hi,
Back in August 2008 I contacted LoveHeals.org and asked whether there was a picture of Alison that could be used on the Engligh Wikipedia website.
I was sent a picture of Alison and was told that permission was granted to use it. Unfortunately, I have lost the email, so I am sending this email to re-request that permission (which is required for the picture to continue to be displayed).
I have reproduced below the text that is normally sent for these requests, just so that you are fully informed regarding what is involved.
It would be great if you could provide permission again, so that we can keep using the picture on Wikipedia.
Best Regards, Simon
