Attachment 7 _ Email Template

Dear Diary Participant,

Recently I spoke with you, or someone in your household, about keeping a diary of your spending for the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE). This email contains links to the diary and information to help you fill out your diary. As a reminder, everyone that completes their diary will be mailed a $20 debit card as a token of our gratitude.

Use this link to get to the CE Diary, it will work on a computer or mobile device.

Helpful links are available through your online diary, but I’ve included them for your reference:

Diary User Guide (link) – provides detailed illustrations on how to record expenses in your diary.

Video Tutorials (link) – includes short instructional videos .

If you require any technical assistance, including help logging in, contact the CE Diary help desk at 877-744-1522 or cehelpdeskemail@census.gov.

Help Desk hours:
Monday – Friday, 9am – 10pm EDT
Saturdays, 11am – 9:15pm EDT
Sundays, 11am – 9:15pm EDT

If you have any other questions about filling out the diary or the Consumer Expenditure Survey, please contact me at (FR would enter his/her individual contact info here).

Thank you for agreeing to participate in the CE Diary Survey. I appreciate your time and effort, and look forward to seeing you again in about a week!

Sincerely,

{FR Name}
