Hello,
My name is Jason Ricci, I am a 22 year old Communication Studies Major at
Northeastern University, Located in Boston USA. I am writing to you because
I am doing a project regarding German Dialect in Switzerland, and I have a
survey that I would like to include in my research. The survey is not very
long, but the information I would receive upon completion of this survey
would be essential for my thesis. If you could give as much information as
possible, I would really appreciate it. My project deals mailing with the
usage of dialect in certain aspects of Swiss life, namely in the media. If
you are wondering where I have gotten your email address it could be on of
the following. I either know you, which you will know by receiving this
email from me, or I did an AOL search by location. Again, I would like to
thank you for any information that anyone could help me get, as this is a
matter of opinion, there is no other way for me to collect this sort of data.
Thank you very much
Jason Ricci
