Dear Company Official:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your participation in the Quarterly
Services Survey. Your willingness to provide data has contributed to the overall
timeliness and reliability of the estimates used to assess the condition of the United
States economy.
To reduce the burden on smaller companies, we select a new sample every 5-7 years.
Although there is a possibility that you will be reselected in the future, your firm is
not being asked to participate in the upcoming sample at this time. If you report to us
electronically, beginning next quarter your Username and Password will be disabled
and you will be removed from subsequent data collection attempts for the Quarterly
Services Survey. If your participation is requested in the future, you will be notified.
The information that you have provided to the Quarterly Services Survey is confidential
by law (Title 13, United States Code) and is seen only by persons sworn to uphold the
confidentiality of Census Bureau information. Under the same law, your information
was used only to develop total U.S. estimates that do not reveal the individual activities
of your firm. This information cannot be used for taxation, regulation, or investigation
and will continue to be safeguarded after you are no longer actively reporting in the
survey.
Again, I thank you for your participation in the Quarterly Services Survey. Companies
like yours allow the Census Bureau to provide the most accurate and useful data
possible.
Sincerely,

Mark E. Wallace
Chief, Service Sector Statistics Division
