Dear <> <>
I am writing to ask for your help in a study that the Gallup Poll is conducting on behalf of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This survey asks questions about severe weather and
outdoor activities. The results will be used to learn more about the environment and help improve the
quality of marine and coastal resources.
For this study to be accurate, we need all households who receive this short survey to complete it and send
it back. Your address was randomly picked from a list of <> in <>,
and we can’t replace you with someone else. Your responses will help all <> of
<> have their voices heard.
This survey asks about many outdoor activities. Some people enjoy many of these activities, while others
aren’t interested in these activities. It is very important that your household complete the survey, even if
no one participates in these activities.
This survey should be completed by an adult living at this address. We have included a small gift as a way
of saying thank you for your help.
This is a voluntary survey, and your responses are confidential and will only be used in combination with
answers from other households. If you have any questions or comments about this study, we will be happy
to talk to you. Please call 1-888-297-8999.
Thank you very much for your help with this important study. Please return your finished survey to Gallup
using the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
Yours sincerely,
