Posting to members of  sci.med.diseases.als newsgroup:

This is an important message from the World Health Organization.  We are
carrying out a large-scale investigation to assess the performance of health
systems in all the countries of the world.  The results will be published in
our World Health Report [< http://www.***.com/ ;]. This investigation seeks
to improve on existing methods and data to assess the performance of health
services.  You can learn more about this by looking at
< http://www.***.com/ ; see under "Statistical data from the World
Health Report 2000"

This portion of our investigation is focusing on Key Informants, persons
involved in and knowledgeable about the health systems and related areas in
their country.  We are attempting to contact as many potential Key
Informants as possible via email.  

Your sci.med.diseases.als newsgroup has come to our attention as an
excellent source of people who could make a significant contribution to this
important WHO investigation, and we would very much appreciate your taking
20-30 minutes to complete an online questionnaire, which can be found at
< http://www.***.com/ ; .  If, after completing the
survey, you know of any additional persons you feel could also make a
contribution please forward this message to them, too.

Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in helping the World Health
Organization to continue to further develop its methodology and improve its
database so that all the countries of the world will have a
better basis for improving the performance of their health systems.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. David Evans
