      Good afternoon.

Please forgive the intrusion.

I am inviting people who are currently diagnosed with Stage III Melanoma to participate in a telephone interview to discuss how you feel about some of the treatments you may or may not have tried.

The interview will be conducted via telephone, at your convenience.   The interview will last no more than sixty minutes; each participant will be paid an honorarium of $100 as a thank-you for your time and trouble.

I promise that this is not a sales presentation of any sort--strictly medical opinion research.

If you think you might like to participate, please call me at 212.289.0087 (of, if you prefer, please respond by email with a number where I can reach you).

I promise that this is not a sales presentation, of any sort--strictly medical opinion research.  You will not be asked to try any treatments or therapies.  I have been in the business of medial opinion research for more than 32 years.  I can assure you that all participants will be treated with dignity and confidentiality.  From our experience, participants are always pleased to join in on these studies.

Thank you, and best regards,

David Leonard

                      I participated in this survey & have not gotten paid $100. yet.

                      Anyone get paid???

                      If this guy does not pay everyone who participated in the survey, I would warn others not to get involved with David Leonard. He should not be allowed to post on this forum again.

                            Guess I should have seen this coming . . .

                            This complaint was clearly posted by Ann Miano.  Ann participated in the study on Tuesday, of last week, and has been hounding us for her $100, ever since–she has sent us emails every day.

                            Anyway, the point is, this study is a huge international undertaking involving four large companies.  It takes 2-3 weeks to process the honoraria (most research companies take 4-6 weeks), but I told Ann that we would get her check processed on the fast track (frankly, in order to put a stop to the constant haranguing–we were receiving emails from her every day on this subject).  I should mention that I also offered to send her her money via paypal, last week, so that she would have the money immediately, but she refused.

                            If anyone would like to discuss this with me, further, please don't hesitate to call me at 212.289.0087.  All participants will be paid, as they have been for the 32 years I have been in business. 

                            Best regards,

                            David Leonard
