I’ve made a couple of entries about a company that will pay you to receive letters. I received my latest notice a couple of days ago saying that the program will begin next month:

On Monday, 31 July, the first test letters will be dispatched to you!

To confirm the receipt of your incoming test letters please go to our website World Mail Panel. To get to your test items please enter the following user id:

Your user name
and your password

!If you have already taken part in one of our measurements your user login is familiar to you. Therefore, if you have changed your password, please use your ”new” one!

Your Website will be available to you starting 31 July 2006.

To get to your list of items please click on ”enter item data”. Your weekly test letters will be updated always on Monday. If you receive a test letter please look for the letter number, click on ”edit” and enter the receipt data such as identification code and date of receipt. We ask you to please confirm the receipt of your test items if possible immediately, but at least once a week. Thank you.

Your test letters will differ in weight and size. The content of the bigger items (office material, small articles) is used to achieve a certain weight and is for you to keep.

Should you have any further questions - now, or during the survey - simply send us an email. We are happy to assist you!

We hope you enjoy the survey!

I went to the website and was able to sign in. I’ll be curious to see if any of the office material will be any good. The process looks easy. I simply have to write in the identification code on the mail and the date the mail was received, at least according to the “enter item data” page given. It looks like I’ll have mail sent to me on July 31 and Aug 2 (already in the system) and I suppose more. I’ll keep people up to date on how it goes.

Also a message in the member area says:

Dear Panellists,

Luxembourg (entire country) and
Switzerland (cities with at least 50,000 inhabitants)

Not sure if I have any readers here for those countries, but it might be something to try if you are
