General Stock Discussion / How do you ask to sign Model Release?

Do you have a suggestion on what to say when you ask them to sign it?

I don't want to be like ... Hey, sign this so I can sell you picture and it may be used for a herpes ad .. got anything more tactful?

we were discussing this in another topic, but I just was curious what you folks say to people when you ask them to sign. Especially when it's a random person that you don't know and doesn't know anything about microstock.

thanks..

... I have tried different combination of landscapes, isolation, etc. Since I am still a newbie, I hope to get some of your experienced opinions. I have been reading the forums and Istock forums and I am still not even sure what they are looking for ...

The rejections are always: "Two or more of these images are very similar in subject matter, perspective or style.... etc

Here are links to 5 pix that I still need to narrow down to 3..
