\par We are writing to you from the Clinical Trials Unit in the Department of XXX at Saint Louis University about your interest in clinical research. In a previous conversation with us, you indicated that you wanted us to keep your name in our da
tabase in the event that we carried out research potentially relevant to you. In fact, you asked that we contact you in the event that we initiated such a research project.

a part of our database and want to be contacted in the event that we begin a relevant clinical research project, we ask that you sign and return the statement in the self-addressed, stamped envelope that also is enclosed. This form allows us only to conta
