Has anyone here recieved a letter the United States Postal Service, asking for 'volumteer reporters'?
I'm sure there is such a service, but this is the first time in my life I've ever received one. It's been my experience that the Postal Service never gave a damn whether my mail was timely, or if we even received any at all.
The letter goes:
Dear Ms. ********
"I am writing to ask your assistance in a confidential volunteer panal, which measures timelessness of mail delivered by the U.S. Postal Service. The U.S. Postal Service wants to make service to its customers as consistent, accurate, and timely as possible. This will allow us to better serve you as a customer, and the nation as a whole. Ensuring an unbiased study, IBM has been contacted to independently measure, our mail dilivery service.
We currently are in need of additional volunteers in your area. By joining the National Team of Reporters, you will play an important role in providing valuable feedback to help enhance our services.
Being a reporter is easy and takes only a few minutes a day. Volunteers report the date of delivery via our easy-to navigate http://www.reportez.com website or through the use of a toll free reporting line. As a thank you for your participation, you will have the opportunity to participate in a rewards program that offers points redeemable for gift certificates and discounts on merchandise at more than 300 well-known retailers.
