Copyright permission request

Today I got an email entitled "Copyright permission request...". My first reaction was here comes another spam. After reading the email I decided to give them the permission to reproduce the photo requested. So you might be able to see my photo in the coursebook when teaching English next year.

Dear Hanjie,

I am writing to ask whether you would be able to grant us permission to reproduce a photo from your gallery at http://www.pbase.com/, details of which are listed below. The photo will be reproduced for educational purposes, in a secondary English coursebook series. It may also be reproduced in print and non-print formats, for example, photocopiable worksheets, electronic books, website, as additional teaching aids for teachers’ free use...
