Dear Professional:
One of my students at San Jose State University, Sociology Department, will be
requesting your participation in a face-to-face interview as part of a course requirement.
Your interview is very important because as a professional, you are in a unique position
to discuss how different issues can influence your organization and similar organizations.
Your participation is voluntary and information that you provide will only be used by the
student for completing her or his assigned paper.
At the time of your face-to-face interview, please sign and date this letter to indicate your
agreement to participate in this interview. If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact me.
I want to thank you in advance for taking the time to participate in this interview and
hope it will be an enriching experience for both you and my student.
Sincerely,
Stephen J. Morewitz, Ph.D.
Lecturer
