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

Chris:

That is certainly nervy to use your images and notify you without 
asking your permission, espcially since you clearly copyright each 
one!!!

I think you need to be simple and direct, but first, decide what you 
want.  Do you want them to stop using your images?  Do you want them 
to pay to use your images?  Do you want a link to your website in 
exchange for using your images?

Once you decide, simply draft an email to let them know and follow up 
with a hard copy (sent certified mail).

My 2 cents
