A quick harmless survey you can feel good about.

Hi there! I really could use your help at the moment. I'm presently taking a Business Management course at Box Hill TAFE. A component of this course requires me to conduct a short survey for a proposed new business venture. Naturally, this is a not-for-profit exercise. I thought it might be easier to offer this as a one-off email. You can reply to it at your leisure, and it avoids catching you at the wrong moment. It should take you no longer than 2 minutes, the information will be held in the strictest of confidence, and it is not intended to sell you a thing. So please fill out the survey using this simple 4 step process: 1/ Start by hitting your email reply button. 2/ Delete the multi-choice options not applicable in your case 3/ Fill in the blanks or override the ?? Marks where appropriate 4/ Hit your send button - that's it!! Again, your assistance is appreciated in a major way. ***************************************************************************** SURVEY - BUILDING ACTIVITY ***************************************************************************** PART 1 ------------- 1.
