{{quote|Hello Dalgarra,
I am seeking permission to use [[Friday the 13th|this picture]] of yours for the page image of the trope, [[Villain Decay]]. If this is alright, please respond to the email or [https://allthetropes.orain.org/wiki/Forum:Page_Images comment in the discussion here]. If you wish us to not use your image, it will be changed, if you give permission but want a specific link please respond.
