Conducting sustainable development survey (the second email to Irina)

This email was sent to Irina after she ignored the first one and did not answer the questionnaire.

Dear Elizabeth

A little while ago we approached you by email asking you to participate in our in-house survey aimed at assessing opinions about sustainable development and social responsibility. We would like to know your views on the subject, to identify the best known organizations and charities in this field and to understand if and how the notion of sustainability affects your personal and work life.

Could you please spare a moment to answer a few questions about the topic?

The more people that take part in the survey, the more robust the final data are. Your responses will be treated in the strictest of confidence; they will be processed only by our Research Department and used solely for internal purposes.

Your views are very important to us. We appreciate your help.
