Dear Madam, Mrs, Sir,
I am glad to contact you indeed.
I am a Moroccan youngman aged of 32 y.o.I was a university student studying English& Linguistics and now a researcher and novice writer in the fields of Human Rights, Politics, Cultures& Media.
Furthermore, being a translator and so keen on dialogue between Cultures&Civilisations, I feel deeply interested in many of your Open Democracy website's articles/ reports&researches that enhance me to think of a humble project,i.e. to present some of your articles translated into Arabic or French for the benefit of the Arab readers who fail to read in English or have not internet within their reach so as to make it possible for those readers to get in touch with some others' points of view from other corners of the world,and thus, gather a wide view and understanding of what is going on in the world.
What I want ,in fact from this mail to you, is to ask whether it is legal and allowed for me to translate into Arabic/French some of the articles that appear on your website and present for publish elsewhere in some Arab newspapers/ magazines on behalf of the Arab readers.
Again, I will be glad and at your disposal if I can establish some kind of collaboration with you via your respectful newspaper/ website.
At the end, do please receive kindest regards, sincere thanks and heartful encouragements of mine.
Looking forward to hearing from you when possible.
Thanking you in anticipation for your time and attention.
Sincerely yours,
Salim Najm Noury.
