[GWL]: Standard "cease & desist" language?

Hi everyone,

Today I received an email[1] indicating that someone was using some of my
plant photos on their Web site.  While I'm flattered, I don't think that
I'm ready to just give away my photos like this.

I'm especially bothered with the fact that they didn't even bother to ask
me beforehand.

Anyhow, I'm wondering if anyone has any standard language to ask sites to
"cease & desist" in their image theft.

Thanks,

Chris
