Dear «RespFirst» «RespLast»:
Recently
«FE_FirstName»
«FE_LastName» of
my staff contacted your company to obtain data on your
«imported/exported/imported
and exported»
products for the U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes (MXP), a
Principal Federal Economic Indicator of price changes for
non-military goods and services traded between the United States and
the rest of the world. Businesses use the MXP extensively to analyze
economic conditions, adjust contracts, and assess competition in
international markets. I understand that your firm has declined to
participate, and I urge you to please reconsider this decision.
Your
company’s participation is critical to the accuracy of the MXP.
For our sampling process to remain statistically valid, we cannot
replace your company with another business. Your participation will
strengthen our indexes.
Your time commitment is minimal. Our approach allows flexibility in working with you or a staff member. We will select and record prices for only a sample of products representative of your company’s «imports/exports/import and export» trade, and ask that you periodically update the prices for only those selected products.
Your participation is confidential. We do not reveal actual company names or prices in our published indexes.
Should you have additional questions or
concerns that I have not addressed, please contact «FE_FirstName»
«FE_LastName»
at «FE_Tel».
Otherwise, the Field
Economist will
contact you soon to discuss
your company’s participation in the MXP.
We look forward to working with you.
Sincerely yours,
NAME
