The SELEDA Survey

Yes, SELEDA has its own Customer (non)-Service Department, complete with persnickety associates: "Sir… you have to go to the 104th floor to have that initialed in red, not blue. Sir, those are the rules; I don't make 'em, I don't break 'em. Sir, you will have to have three witnesses testify that you actually alive. I'll be back from lunch in an hour. … Sir, you want me to shove what, where??"

MeTné!

But back to our l'il survey, the first sign that we actually care about your take on this monthly ye ibdoch albayrgo. We promise to make it as painless as possible.

Since we are sure there are lawyers slithering among us, we want to assure you that SELEDA promises not to give/sell/swap your email address or any other information to another entity, whence whereas and thenceforth. Don't think of this as a Survey, by the way, think of it as a … sociological experiment as to how many of us have recovered from the Qebelé "Izih bet snt sew yinoral?" assessments preceding ration card allocations. Hello, flashback

You don't need to include your name or your e-mail if you don't wish… only if you are out of paper towels and you want to clean your windows with a brand spankin' new SELEDA T-shirt. Remember, one unlucky survey-submitter picked at random will be burderned by receiving this T-Shirt. N.B. SELEDA does not take responsibility for the ridicule and/or strange rash that might result from wearing this clothing item.

Thank you for your time. We hope you know how much we appreciate it.
