288.0. "HELP with a school assignment pretty please....." by TOLKIN::FARLEY (Have YOU seen Elvis today??) Thu Jul 05 1990 12:07


         Since October, I've been attending night classes after work at
         Lesley College in Cambridge to get my bachelors degree.  As part
         of my degree program, I am required to complete a management
         research project and I'd like your help.

         To help me, all I ask is that you spend a few moments checking off
         answers to the attached survey form.  This won't take more than 5
         minutes of your time.  Once you have finished, if you would return
	 it to me either by interoffice or E-mail, I'd appreciate it.

         I'm trying to get at least 100 replies back and I'd appreciate
         your help in getting to that number.  If you have a problem either
	 editing or extracting this, please contact me.

         Your participation in this matter is totally voluntary and all
         replies will only be used for statistical analysis and your
         anonymity is guaranteed.

         I appreciate your assistance and cooperation with my project and
         ask that you return the completed questionaire before July 30,
         1990. If you'd like to see the results of the survey, please send
         me a separate request.  Effective Monday, July 9, my new node is
         CSTEAM::Farley and my new mailstop is MRO4-2W/H8.


         Thank you very much for your help,



         Kevin Farley
