Sample Email: Invitation from Fellow to potential rater

Dear [Name],

I am participating in a professional development opportunity, the MIT Leader to Leader program. As part of this, I will be participating in a 360 survey for developmental purposes. I have been asked to provide the names of people with whom I work who are able to provide feedback on my capabilities. I have identified you as one of those people and I’m hoping you will be kind enough to respond to an invitation to an online survey that will be emailed to you around 11/30/2011 by MOR Associates, an outside consulting firm. This survey is administered by MOR Associates. I will not see individual responses.

Please note that the invitation will be sent from Rob Smyser at smyser@morassociates.com. Please check your spam filters if you do not receive this on November 30th.

MIT has prepared an FAQ on the 360 Review to provide you with some background information. See it at <<http://web.mit.edu/hr/oed/l2l/faqs.html>>.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me. I value your candid feedback. If you don’t think you will be able to respond to the survey, it would be helpful for me to know so I can ask somebody else.

Sincerely,
[Name]
