Hi, how would you like to help an MBA student from the University of
Saskatchewan by taking a few minutes of your time to complete an
important survey?  If so, then please read on...

As the number of Canadian Internet users continue to increase it is
important that your interests and opinions be identified.  The
increased level of commercialization on the Internet is also
increasing the size of marketplace for consumers.  This study will try
to determine Canadian Internet users level of usage, the effect of
Internet commercialization on purchasing decisions and finally the
types of products or services you are interested in.

In order for the results of the study to be representative of Canadian
Internet users it is important that as many questionnaires as possible
be completed and returned.  Since you have reached this point, it
would be appreciated if you take 5-7 minutes to complete the
questionnaire.

All survey participants will be entered for 3 draws of an Internet
T-shirt (Travel the World, Surf the Net).  However, only one entry per
e-mail address will be accepted.

You may be assured of complete confidentiality.  If you choose to
e-mail the questionnaire back, I will enter your e-mail address in for
the draw, and then it will be immediately deleted from the
questionnaire.  Or if you use the postal system you can mail it but I
will not be able to enter you into the draw.  YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY
ADDITIONAL CORRESPONDENCE AS A RESULT OF YOUR PARTICIPATION - 
unless of course you win a t-shirt :)

If you have any questions please call (306)373-8119 or e-mail me at
fidykj@quadrant.net

Thank you for your assistance.

Trudy Fidyk
MBA Student
University of Saskatchewan
