Dear Sir Tangub

Greetings!
May we ask for a certain amount of your time to be part of the validating process for our
research team? It would be a big help to have you as our validator. Let me thank you in advance
for your help on our research entitled, “ The Triumphs of Depressed Students during Pandemic".
This is a qualitative study in which its central focus are the experiences, coping mechanism and
triumphs of selected depressed students during pandemic, and we will be targeting the students
who have undergone counseling for our data collection.
For us to be able to start gathering data from our participants, may I request your guidance for
our research and validation of the questions that we will be using for our participants and data
collection?
Thank you so much for being a part of this task.

Respectfully yours,
