Dear Ms. Shulman

We are Valenture Institute, a global private online high school offering a curriculum recognised by the world's leading universities. Our students experience a highly engaging, inclusive and socially rich learning environment which is supported by expert teachers and mentors. Our students are completing their Junior High and International GCSE qualifications, with Canvas as our access-controlled Learning Management System. At this stage, our school has fewer than 100 students.

Our IGCSE English Learning designer has identified your transcription of Neil Gaiman's Newberry Acceptance Speech (located here: https://beth-shulman.livejournal.com/62598.html) She would like to make use of the text in a slide deck for her students, concerning literature studies of the Graveyard book.

As we would like to make use of the speech as part of our curriculum, we would just like to clarify our permission to utilise it, for the educational benefit of our students, with attribution of course, should you require it.

Please feel free to direct any further questions my way, or visit our website (www.valentureinstitute.com) to find out more about us.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards
