We are a small, dedicated group of people desperately trying to get
a video production company off the ground.

Recently, we secured enough financial backing to produce several
videos on the subject of personal computing.

Because we don't have the financial resources to perform a
traditional market analysis, we considered several alternatives and
concluded that we should consult the people of the Internet, who
are technically proficient and tend to be enthusiastic personal
computer users.

We would like you to indicate which three of the below described
videos would appeal to you most.

Please note that each video synopsis is numbered.  When you are
ready to send your response, please specify the numbers
corresponding to your three video selections, and use commas to
separate the numbers.

For example, if you choose selections four, eight, and eleven, the
body of your letter would simply be:

4,8,11

and nothing more.

When you send back your response, please specify "MARKET SURVEY" in
the subject field.  Then, direct your response back to
sngmedia@world.std.com.

Please realize that this is not an advertisement, or solicitation.
We simply would like to know your response.  You will not be
contacted further.

Thank you in advance for your help and cooperation.
