Tier B (commercial partnership) approval email (template)
Send from media@dearnobody.org. Fill [brackets]. Counsel must approve this template and any reply language before real deals—Tier B often needs a separate commercial agreement. This is not the Tier A “magic reply = full license” path.
For operators: Use only when counsel has cleared a streamlined email permission or an interim authorization tied to a forthcoming MSA. Never paste the Tier A template for sponsored, multi-letter, or paid-distribution work.
Why this exists
Tier A wording is tuned for narrow non-commercial use. Tier B needs script review, final approval, the same trigger/content warning duties as public policy, and room for a separate agreement when money or complexity is involved—without operators improvising fees or exclusivity in mail.
Before you send
- Confirm internal handoff per Commercial track (Tier B).
- List every letter ID/URL; tie commercial scope to what they already disclosed. Check each live letter page for trigger/content warnings.
- Get exact acceptance language from counsel—do not invent a one-line “I agree” unless counsel says it is sufficient.
Subject: Dear Nobody — Commercial partnership (Tier B): [Project short name or primary letter ID]
Hi [Creator name],
Thank you for your interest in featuring Dear Nobody content in a commercial partnership project. This message is sent under our Commercial partnership (Tier B) track described on our Media Policy. Intelliquinte L.L.C. (“Dear Nobody”) sets out the terms below. [If a separate commercial agreement applies: A separate written agreement between us [is attached / will follow from counsel] and, where it conflicts on commercial matters, that agreement controls once executed.]
1. What you may use
- Letter(s): The public post(s) on dearnobody.org identified as: [list public IDs and/or full URLs, or “as listed in Schedule A attached”].
- Project: [e.g. Sponsored series / monetized video / anthology / paid product — short description].
- Where: [Channel, series, platform URLs, and territory if limited].
- Format: [Audio / video / written / other — as agreed].
- Commercial use: You acknowledge this project may involve monetization, sponsorship, paid distribution, and/or use in a paid product, as already disclosed to us [brief pointer].
2. What you must do
- Credit Dear Nobody with a visible link to https://dearnobody.org where the platform allows (e.g. description, credits, or comparable placement).
- Submit your full script or treatment for our review [before recording / before publication — as we specify]. Do not publish the applicable piece until we have approved the final published version [before go-live / as it goes live — as we specify].
- Follow the approved script or treatment; material changes require prior written approval from
media@dearnobody.org[or as counsel specifies]. - Trigger and content warnings: You must honor any trigger warnings, content warnings, or similar notices that appear on the applicable Dear Nobody letter(s) on dearnobody.org (e.g. in how you introduce, frame, or label the material). You must also add any additional trigger or content warnings you reasonably consider appropriate for your format, platform, and audience (including warnings beyond what appears on the site, where warranted).
3. What you may not do
- Sublicense, sell, or transfer rights beyond what this email (and any separate agreement) expressly allows.
- Imply that Dear Nobody or Intelliquinte endorses you, your sponsors, or your views.
- Use additional Dear Nobody letters or expand the project beyond this approval without new written permission.
4. If content is removed or we revoke
- If a letter is deleted from Dear Nobody or we revoke this approval (including for breach), you will stop new publication and remove or delist the affected content within fourteen (14) calendar days of written notice from media@dearnobody.org, unless counsel specifies a different period in a separate agreement.
- We may revoke immediately for serious breach.
5. Relationship
- This is not a partnership, employment, or agency relationship except as expressly stated in a separate agreement. The writer retains copyright; you receive a limited license from Dear Nobody as platform steward, subject to our Terms and this approval [and any separate agreement].
6. Your confirmation
Please reply to this message with [exact acceptance language specified by counsel — e.g. agreement to terms + full legal name / entity name + acknowledgment of attached agreement if any].
Thank you,
[Your name]
