There are some example letters on Wikipedia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Example_requests_for_permission> which
do a good job of explaining the implications of a CC-BY-SA licence but from
a quick read they don't seem to make a good case for why people should
donate image.

Hi all,
Sorry if this is something I really ought to know :/
Is there a standard form of words - either from OTRS wiki or that you have
used - that is helpful when you are contacting organisations or individuals
to ask for image donations?
Context: I would like to contact artists to ask if they have image shots
they would be prepared to donate to commons to support creation of articles
about them.
Problem: I need to be able to say a) What the benefit of donating the
image is to them and to us b) what the consequences of CC-BY-SA donation
are in terms of that images use for a non expert.
Also it would help if anyone can share the easiest process for managing
uploading when you don't hold the copyright but the image donor does (but
they are a non-expert/non editor)
Thank you!
Kat
