Custom Controller Issue for Component in Visualforce Email Template

I have been searching and googling like crazy trying to resolve this. I wrote an email template with a component and custom controller, but I can't get any of the values set in the controller to show up when I try to test it via the Send Test and Verify Merge Fields button. I've read many posts here in this forum about this issue and have implemented everything I read but I'm STILL not getting anything, so there must be something else I'm missing.

 

Email Template

<messaging:emailTemplate subject="How Did We Do?" recipientType="Contact" relatedToType="SVMXC__Service_Order__c">
<messaging:htmlEmailBody >
<html>
    <body>
    <style type="text/css">
        body {color:black; font-family:arial; font-size:12px}
    </style>
        Hello {!Recipient.Name},<br/><br/>
        <c:SurveyEmailComponent_MEC emailWOId="{!relatedTo.Id}"/>
    </body>
</html>
</messaging:htmlEmailBody>
</messaging:emailTemplate>

 

Component

<apex:component controller="SurveyEmailController" access="global">
    <apex:attribute name="emailWOId" description="Passes the ID of the WO to the custom controller" type="Id" assignTo="{!woID}"/>
    <apex:outputText >We want to continue to improve by learning how we did on our recent service completed for you on {!completedDate}.<br/><br/>
    We would be grateful if you took 2 minutes to complete a very short survey by clicking the link below:
    </apex:outputText><br/><br/>
    <apex:outputLink value="http://mckinley.force.com/timbasurveys__survey?id=a2LE0000000Td4qMAC&cId={!contactID}&wf=yes">Service Follow Up Survey</apex:outputLink><br/><br/>
    <apex:outputText >Thank you,<br/>
    {!techName}
    </apex:outputText><br/>
    <apex:image value="{!photoURL}"/>
</apex:component>
