Dear TellTale, Please Help Me Get my Master's Degree!
My name is Kevin Kryston, a graduate student working on my thesis in the Department of Communications at The University of Dayton. My thesis project concerns the effects of your game, The Walking Dead Game: Season One, on nurturing relationships between men and girls. As part of my study, I plan on having participants play The Walking Dead (and a control game, which happens to be Back to the Future) and measuring changes in their nurturing behaviors and attitudes, as well as what elements of the game contributed to any changes.
At the moment, I have no funding, and would have to personally purchase copies of both games for my participants to use for my experiment. While I am more than willing to do this, I have limited income, a rising mountain of loan debt, and need to keep my savings as high as possible with doctorate school (fingers crossed) around the corner. I'm reaching out to you in hopes that you might aid me by providing me with Steam keys for The Walking Dead Game and Back to the Future: The Game which I could use to distribute to people participating in my experiment. Currently, I don't know how may people will be participating in my experiment, but it would likely be less than thirty. Any help would be would help me both academically and personally, and much appreciated.
If you have further questions or would like to talk more, please either respond to this address or contact me at 219-229-4543 via text or phone call.
Thank you so much, and I hope you'll help me out,

That's so cool!
That's cool, but I think it'll be better if you send a email to them.
Where the heck is that?
Anyway if your doing research then surely you only need one copy of the game? I mean true they would need to give up some hours of their time to meet you however having them all do it the same way would account for any extraneous variables that are bound to come up if you just give each person a copy. It will increase your reliability and validity of the research if you do it that way
