Hello:

If you're going to request that we fill out a survey, please do tell us 
what it's for. Also, making sure that your forwarded email is 
grammatically correct as well as the text of the survey would be 
tremendous. For example, two/to/too. Finally, not everyone looks at or 
uses your site. Asking a list of people who probably aren't subscribed 
to your site to fill out a survey on it seems like you're missing your 
demographic just a bit, and you might get better results by sending this 
link to the people who actually do receive emails related to your site. 
It's important to realize that not everyone here has a lot of time, and 
traction is very tough to gain; this means that telling us about your 
site is probably fine, but eventually it's going to become one of those 
things that everyone just deletes and moves on, so you have to walk the 
line between being useful and providing useful information, and 
irritating people to the point where they just delete your requests and 
updates without any thought. A website takes time, work and effort, 
which I'm sure you've seen. Part of this is presentation (see above re: 
grammar and spelling), and part of it is providing a clean, useful and 
well-maintained site.
