Weasel,
I'm contacting InfringingWeasels.com in regards to a copyright violation. Below is all the pertenant information you require regarding DMCA protocol along with a few other points of information I need to have answered as well regarding the infringed artwork.
1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
This email acts as my electronic signature. I have also attached a scan of my signature. This should suffice.
