Subject: Image of President Yahya Jammeh

Dear Sir or Madam,

I found your page http://www.iisd.ca/ while doing research for the free online
encyclopedia Wikipedia, and thought your image of President Yahya Jammeh might
be appropriate for inclusion in our articles concerning The Gambia.

I am specifically seeking your permission to use this image:
http://www.iisd.ca/desert/cop6/pix/0901/whi-gamb.JPG

I would like to include your image in these articles:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gambia

In fact I contribute mostly to the German Wikipedia, where The Gambia is
already a good article, and we work on it to make it excellent:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambia
