Thank you for considering my request even though it is a bit unusual.  Like I said in my letter, my name is Christopher, and I'm assisting my wife, the director of a local homeschool cooperative, in developing exciting class options for the upcoming fall semester.

For those unfamiliar, homeschool co-ops bring together homeschooling families to share resources and expertise. I'm a marketing consultant and graphic designer, and I have the opportunity to lead a marketing class for high school students in the co-op. While we'll cover foundational marketing principles, I'm also passionate about exploring the dynamic and often surprising world of real-world marketing – including non-traditional approaches and, crucially, how small businesses market their business.

To ensure this class is truly relevant and insightful, I'm reaching out to gather diverse perspectives from everyday small business owners and managers. Your company was selected after random searches on Google in various ZIP codes as part of a nationwide effort to collect unbiased opinions. I'm simply asking if you would be willing to contribute a few minutes of your time to complete a brief, anonymous survey below.

Your honest feedback will directly influence the topics and direction of this course, helping to shape the understanding of future marketers. I'm not seeking any personal information; my sole aim is to capture genuine consumer viewpoints, free from any pre-existing biases.
