Hi Venki,

My name is Wilson Chan, and I am a User Research Specialist at Adobe. I
came across your contact from the SVJUG website, and I thought you or
membera of your user group might be excellent candidates to participate in
an upcoming user research study at Adobe. I was wondering if you can
forward this meesage to your members.

We are currently conducting interviews with UI developers to learn more
about the application development workflow. We are looking for UI
developers who are implementing the GUI/visual front-end for business web or
client applications (specifically, ones written in JSP, ASP.NET, Java,
Visual Basic or Visual C#).

The interview session will take place during the months of July and
August. Each session will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. As a token of
our appreciation, each participant will receive a $75 gift certificate.

If you fit the criteria and are interested, please complete the following
short questionnaire. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me or
call me at (800) 866-8006 ext. 6-6176.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Wilson Chan

P.S. If you know other UI developers who might be interested, please feel
free to forward this e-mail to them. Thank You!
