This is not the place for further discussion on this topic so I’ll just say “it works." See http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/04/the-right-way-to-ask-users-for-ios-permissions/ <http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/04/the-right-way-to-ask-users-for-ios-permissions/>. One way to guarantee it doesn’t work though is to use emotive content-free messages such as the one you propose.
