I am posting this survey for a friend, please send all of your
responses to me and I will forward them onto her.

Hello,

I am a Lesley College student in the Graduate Management Degree 
Program.    

As a student,  I developed a survey that would help me do metrics of 
Teleworking.  It will only take a few moments of your time and the 
data you provide will be valuable.  Your participation will be important 
to the integrity of the results.  

Your input will be held in strictest confidence and the results, of course, 
will show only data and statistics compiled in aggregate format.  Your 
response will be assigned a number which, from the time of receipt, will 
be the only identification.

If you would like a summary of this analysis, I will be happy to provide it 
upon completion of the study.

PLEASE NOTE:  If you do not have the time to electronically respond to this 
survey, I would be happy to take your answers over the phone or through a 
FAX transmittal.  My number is 508-493-7289 and the facimile number here 
in Bedford is (617) 275-7916. Your participation is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth (Betty) Raboin
