Sample Cover Letter
Dear Participant,
The Studio for Student Communication Creative Inquiry Class at Clemson University is conducting research on the effects of space on learning. Through questionnaires, interviews, and observations, we hope to provide a framework for the creation of successful classrooms. Your participation in this research will help us draw the conclusions needed to produce an effective report for consideration by school districts as they restructure learning spaces in the future.
Your experience in learning environments will be investigated through observations, surveys, and interviews. Your participation in this research is voluntary, and you may refuse to answer any questions or discontinue your participation at any time without penalty. Your confidentially will be maintained; the information you provide will be stored on password protected computers, and at the conclusion of the study all paper data will be destroyed and electronic data will be deleted. Your responses will be collected through the end of April, and a report of our findings will be completed by the end of fall semester. A condensed report of our findings will be sent to you by the beginning of 2008.
If you have any questions about our research, please contact Teresa Fishman at 864-656-3168 or Barbara Ramirez at 864-656-0751, our two principal investigators. You may also contact the Clemson University Office of Research Compliance at 864-656-6460 with questions regarding your rights as a research participant. We appreciate your participation and look forward to receiving your responses.

My only suggestion is that we try to find a more simple, direct way to explain our goals--one sentence that sums up more succinctly what we are up to. Other than that I think the text is very good.
