Jon,
You should feel proud that this person found your image inspiring. It
appears that he is sincere. Simply thank him and tell him no, or even
better, just refer him over to Graphistock. I noticed that they are already
are selling your work, so I would presume that prices have already been
assigned.

Greetings,
I'm posting to the list an email I received this morning. In the body of
the email was one of my images, presumably a jpg that this person (I've
withheld his name) cut and pasted from my website, and the following letter:
"Hi my name is XXXX XXXX and I am the owner of a small graphic design
company. I would like to use the picture below on my wall as inspiration for
myself and my designers. I am looking to blow it up to the size of the wall
and use a decoupage technique on it. Basically like one big mural. I am
originally from the Boston area and found this picture in particular to be
very inspiring. Honestly I was hoping I could use the picture in good faith
as I do not have a lot of money right now. Please let me know what I need to
do to get a high res picture. I do not want to use this for any advertising
purposes and it will only be on display in our office."
End quotation.
Has anyone else on the list ever received a letter like this?? I think it's
a pretty outrageous letter - for a variety of reasons....
Your thoughts are welcome.
Best - Jon
