Dear Sir/Madam,

my name is Michel Barbosa and I’m a bachelor student at the Erasmus  
Universiteit Rotterdam in the Netherlands. In order to graduate for  
the study ‘Informatics & Economics’ I have to write a bachelor thesis  
and my subject is ruby on rails. My research object is as follows:

The research object of this study is the development of a new theory  
concerning the adoption of rails within (commercial) companies by  
providing a checklist companies can use to evaluate/consider using  
rails. The checklist will be be based on an analysis of the most  
important adoption factors/motivations and characteristics of  
companies that are already using rails. For the first time ever, the  
research will enable companies to consider rails by following this  
checklist and provides a starting point to the research of the  
adoption of rails by companies.

My question to you is if you’re willing to participate in an online  
survey within the following 2 weeks, in order to analyze your  
(company’s) motivations as well. The survey will be ready within the  
next week and afterwards I will be launching a website for the survey.  
I have already contacted a lot of companies, but I’m hoping that your  
company is willing to participate as well. If you’re indeed willing to  
participate or are having doubts, please let me know by sending an  
email to removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid

Sincerely yours,

Michel Barbosa
