Dear Techwhirlers:
        Some of you have already received this from me personally, but I
am now doing a mass send-out because we need the input for a financial
board meeting that is quickly comming up.  Please forgive me for
abandoning the personal touch, but time is short, and I am slow.
Thank you for your most valuable asset, your time.  --  J.P.

Dear Fellow Writers:
        I am doing a random survey to help keep the Clark College
Microcomputer Support Specialist Program on the right track.  I got your
address by using the Review command to obtain an address list from the
list server.  I then chose .com addresses to act as a liason between
myself and the Personnel Managers of the companies chosen.  Please
forward this survey to your Personnel Manager.  (If you prefer, please
answer the survey yourself.  Your input on this subject is just as important
as the input of the personnel department.)
                         Thank you for your time,
                         Jeffrey A. Pittman, jeffp -at- clark -dot- edu

Dear Personnel Manager:
        I am doing research on the effectiveness of the Clark College
(Vancouver, WA) Microcomputer Support Specialist Program.  This program was
designed to supply business and industry with individuals with effective
communication skills and problem-solving abilities. The technical skills
learned in this program include microcomputer hardware and software,
operating systems, application software, computer networks,
organizational abilities and professional development.
        If you could please take the time and answer this questionaire, it will
greatly aid us in keeping this program on the track most desired by the
commercial heart of our great country.
