Dear Mr. Doe,
Last week I sent you a letter inviting Acme Grocers to participate in a community economic
survey being conducted by NOAA Fisheries. This letter contains the survey questionnaire,
which will take about 45 minutes to complete. After completing the survey questionnaire, please
place it in the enclosed self-addressed stamped envelope and deposit the envelope in the mail.
I hope you choose to participate in this voluntary survey. By collecting information from
businesses such as yours, we can better understand the role of fisheries in coastal economies and
the economic impact of fishery management policies. Data collected through this survey will be
held confidential under the provisions of Exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act.
Thank you for your consideration. Please contact me to discuss any concerns or questions you
have regarding the survey.

Sincerely,

Carl Lian
Economist
