Need correction for a formal letter Please
Hi teachers,
Could you correct this letter?
To Whom it May Concern,
I would like to ask for your permission just on the story of one of your books. The book I'm referring to is 'Access to English- Starting Out' by Michael Coles and Basil Lord, first published by you in 1975.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Yours sincerely
XXXXX (I have to write my name and surname here, right?)
PS. The thing is that I made more than a few changes to the story, these are: conversations, character names, and places. Should I include that in my request? This book has been out of the market for about fifteen years.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Clive,
"You didn't say what you want permission to do with the story."
Is it acceptable to put the verb "want" in the simple present tense after the reporting clause "You didn't say"?

Hi,
Yes, because I assume that you still want it.
'Wanted' would not have been wrong,

Hi Clive,
Yes, because I assume that you still want it.
You don't really know how much I do want it.
