G'morning All....

Messrs Hitchem & Scratchem have now cleared the Seasonal Greeting 
for general circulation from us ("the wishor") to you 
("hereinafter called the wishee") for 2003/04...

Please accept without obligation, implied or implicit, our best 
wishes  for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, 
politically correct, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, 
celebration of the  winter solstice holiday, practiced within the 
most enjoyable traditions of  the religious persuasion of your 
choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the 
religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or 
their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at 
all... and a financially successful, personally fulfilling and 
medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally 
accepted  calendar year 2004, but with due respect for the 
calendars of choice of  other cultures or sects, and having regard 
to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious 
faith, choice of computer platform or dietary preference of the 
wishee.

By accepting this greeting you are bound  by these terms that


1.   This greeting is subject to further clarification  or 
withdrawal.

2.   This greeting is freely transferable provided that  no 
alteration shall be made to the original greeting and that the  
proprietary rights of the wishor are acknowledged.

3.   This greeting implies no  promise by the wishor to actually 
implement any of the wishes.

4.   This greeting may not be enforceable in certain jurisdictions 
and/or the  restrictions herein may not be binding upon certain 
wishees in certain jurisdictions and is revocable at the sole 
discretion of the wishor.

5.   This greeting is warranted to perform as reasonably may be 
expected within the  usual application of good tidings, for a 
period of one year or until the  issuance of a subsequent holiday 
greeting, whichever comes first.


6.   The wishor warrants this greeting only for the limited 
replacement of this wish  or issuance of a new wish at the sole 
discretion of the wishor

Any  references in this greeting to "the Lord", "Father 
Christmas", "Our Saviour",  or any other festive figures, whether 
actual or fictitious, dead or alive,  shall not imply any 
endorsement by or from them in respect of this greeting, and all 
proprietary rights in any referenced third party names  and images 
are hereby acknowledged.


Enjoy....
