Dear Paul, I received your letter today along with payment for my having filled out both Scarborough survey booklets. In the envelope was $25 cash. When my survey materials arrived I was told I'd receive $35 for filling them out. I'm a little disappointed to now be $10 short.

Can I ask you to please have someone forward me the $10 additional amount I was promised.

Thank you.

After relentless nighttime calling from Scarborough I finally lodged a complaint through Do Not Call registry of which I signed up for years ago. The other day, I get a form letter ("Dear Survey Household") signed by Paul Donato who is titled as Chief Research Officer. He has other titles with this company. In the context of the letter is an apology for the calls and clarifying that they only wanted our opinions on Radio Listening. Ok Paul..not such a problem there, I hate unsolicited phone calls period but its the times you choose to ring my phone. 9pm and later. I often dont mind responding to surveys if I really have any kind of an opinion on the subject but not when its near bedtime. Sorry, but some of us don't stay up all night like you do.
Here's the rub: He enclosed a "small" gift with the letter. A single one dollar bill. What the hell is that? I dont want anything from this Nielson spinoff company and frankly its a bit of an insult. I've never seen a more screwy PR move in my life. I'm sending back to Paul his 1.00 so he can perhaps use it to gas up one of his two airplanes. It might help. In the letter it also says that my household has been chosen for the research survey and they hope I will speak to our interviewers when they call. They're going to keep trying?
