Dear eTwinner,

Therefore we would like to ask you whether you would know other eTwinners who might be willing to participate in our study. We especially need those eTwinners that are not so well connected in eTwinning yet. We would be very grateful if you could forward this e-mail to fellow eTwinners you know and fit this description.
