Hello, I have a map which the technical service of my local authority gave me when I visited their building and asked for a map, showing the geographical boundaries of this authority.
I now have a letter ready to be sent to them. Since it is in the Greek language I've translated it to English, and made it a bit more general, so it could point to any local authority. I've searched in the wiki a bit in the past for a map use request to a local authority, but just found such information scattered around. Anyway, here is the letter: <letter> Map of Municipality of Sykies To: Technical Service of the Municipality of Sykies – Department of city planning & Cadastre Address: Lechovou 4 Postal Address: 566 26 Hello, I'm interested in using information that exists on the map and use it (either as is or with changes) in a database of the organisation openstreetmap.

Openstreetmap is an organisation which tries to create a free map where volunteers help out with geographical information, from many places of the world. If it's not possible, may I have your permission to use the information of the map of the municipality of Sykies and add them to the database of openstreetmap? I'm waiting for your reply My name My address and postcode My regular phone My cell/mobile number My email Notes: [1] : Brief information on the webpage http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/deed.el </letter> If you have any suggestions on changes, or know of a place in the wiki where something like a template for such a letter can be found I would be happy.
