Dear Sir/Madam

2000 Legislative Council Elections

I am an associate professor of Politics and Sociology at Lingnan University. At present, I am conducting a research on the voting behaviour of the Hong Kong electorate in the 2000 Legislative Council Elections. With the assistance of the Registration and Electoral Office, you have been randomly chosen from the Final Register of Electors as one of our interviewees. I, therefore, write to invite your participation in our survey.

In the coming three months, one of our interviewees (with his/her identity document) will pay a visit to your home to conduct the interview. I should be grateful if you would contact my colleague Mr Kwong at 2616 7682 to make an appointment for the said interview. All opinions you express during the interview will be treated in strict confidentiality and would only be used for academic purposes. If you have any query, please feel free to contact me during office hours at 2616 7186.

Thank you for your support in advance.

Yours sincerely

LI Pang-kwong
