                 An IFCSS Student Service Survey
                 ===============================

Dear Fellow Students:

At present, IFCSS is providing a number of services to you,
including family reunion, medical insurance, employment assistance,
internship, and so on. While we are happy to be able to offer you
assistance in these areas, we believe that we can expand the
existing service to other areas. Recently, we have made broad
contacts with a number of companies specialized in providing
beneficial group services in an attempt to develop some new
programs, which might range from credit card to travel. To best
meet your needs in new as well as existing programs, we need your
input. Please take a few minutes to complete the following
questionnaire, which, for your convenience, is designed in a very
simple manner. Because we are pressed for time, we hope that you
can return the completed questionnaire to us in less than two
weeks. Our e-mail address is "[email-masked]"; fax number is
(202)347-0018; mailing address is 733  15th St., N.W., Suite 440,
Washington D.C. 20005.

Thank you for helping IFCSS to better serve you.
