Customer satisfaction with in-dept feedback


My name is Shezaan Hassam and I'm a student at University College of Northampton (UCN) and as part of my degree I have to do a dissertation. My dissertation is about corporate accounting fraud. PLEASE complete this survey, it'll take only a few minutes. I got your email from the ICAEW directory of firms and you were randomly selected as well as 200 other firms to take part in my study. I need as many people to take part as possible so you are really important to me. Your information and any opinions expressed will not go further than me and the people that have to mark my dissertation at UCN. I need your response before 7th March. If you really don't want to take part please just email me and let me know. Thank you so much you won't believe how much I'll appreciate your participation! Shez
