Dear Salutation Name:

Our company is applying for certification for the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms (TAA) program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Commerce.  The TAA program is for companies that have been negatively impacted by foreign competition for their products.  We believe that the TAA program will help us to improve our products and services so that our company may become a better supplier.

As part of the effort to determine whether our company meets the eligibility criteria for the TAA program, a representative from the New York State Trade Adjustment Assistance Center (NYS TAAC), Mr. Gary Youmans, will be calling you to ask a few questions similar to the ones listed below:

1. What kind of products are/were you buying from our company?

2. Has your company purchased any similar products either directly or indirectly in the last 2 years?

3. Has this caused you to reduce your purchases from our company?

Your responses to these questions will be kept confidential and will not reflect adversely on your company in any way.  Your cooperation will be of great assistance to our company in the certification process.

Please call me if you have any questions.  If you would prefer to speak to Mr. Youmans regarding your questions, please contact him directly at the NYS TAAC at 607-771-0875 or 212-921-1662.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
