I live in the Washington DC area and work for an organization that is
in the classification of "Beltway Bandits". Upon receiving this
Christmas Greeting Draft, I thought it important to share with you how
difficult it is to be in this area:
Dear (recipient)
Best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially
responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral winter
solstice holiday, practiced within the most joyous traditions of
the religious persuasion of your choice, yet with respect for the
religious persuasions of others or their choice not to practice
religion at all; and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and
medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar
year, 1999, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of
other cultures whose contributions to our society have helped make
America great, without regard to the race, creed, color, religious
or sexual preference of the wishes.
(This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal, it
implies no promise by the wishor to actually attempt to implement
any of the wishes for her/himself or others.)
Sincerely,
(any contracting officer)
