  Dear
          We were searching for some special way to express our good wishes to you for Christmas and the coming year, but we discovered that there are some things in life that cannot be improved upon. So, please accept our very best wishes to you, your family, and your employees for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us here at Information Retrieval Service.
          From our search, we did learn some facts that we hadn't known before, and hope you find them interesting. Saint Nicholas was a bishop of the Christian church of Myra,in Lycia, Anatolia. He enjoyed a reputation for great generosity and compassion. Legend has it that he saved the three daughters of a poor nobleman from a life of prostitution, by tossing a bag of gold through an open window of their home on three, separate occasions. This provided the young women with a dowry with which to procure an honorable marriage. The custom of giving gifts at Christmas is attributed to this legend.
          In keeping with this legend, we hope that Santa brings you and yours all that you want for Christmas.
