Step 1: Make a list of all your business associates.Go through your email address book, collection or business cards, or computerized database to make sure you’re remembering everyone who should hear from you. Then set the list aside for a day or two and review it again to add anyone you may have forgotten.
　　第一步：列出你所有的商務伙伴。瀏覽郵箱通訊錄、單據、名片，或者電腦數據庫，以確定你備齊了應發送賀卡或祝賀信的所有人。然后將這張名單擱置一兩天，之后再看一遍，以補充上任何一個你之前可能漏掉的人。

　　第二步：起草一封信，表達自己的感謝，并祝愿伙伴們萬事皆好。信中，你要感謝你的客戶或顧客一直以來的業務合作，還要祝福他們節日快樂或來年順利。下面是一封樣板信，你可以修改一下拿去用。
　　Dear Reader:
　　The holiday season is a wonderful time for us to thank all the friends and readers who make our jobs a pleasure and ensure our success all year long. Our business would not be possible without your continued support. So everyone here at English Salon would like to take this moment to say thank you and to send our best How to Write Business Greeting Cards adapted from Lisa Howard’s article originally printed on howtodothings.com wishes to you. May your new year be filled with all the success and happiness you deserve.
　　親愛的讀者：
　　值此假日來臨之際，我們要感謝所有朋友和讀者一年以來的支持，這是我們的工作生機盎然、業績蒸蒸日上的源泉。沒有您一直以來的支持，我們的事業不會走到這一天。所以，英語沙龍的所有員工都想借此機會對您說聲感謝，并致以我們最誠摯的祝福。祝您在新的一年里事業有成、幸福快樂，一切如愿。
　　Step 3: Proofread the letter for errors or for any expressions that might offend someone of a different faith. If you’re not using a variation of the template provided above, be sure to watch for references to a particular holiday, like Christmas, that might sneak in. If you find any, change these to generic references to “the holidays” or “the holiday season” .
　　第三步：審讀信件，改正錯誤或任何可能冒犯不同信仰的人的表達。如果你沒有套用前文提供的模板信，一定要仔細查看是否仍有某個特定節日（如圣誕節）的字眼出現。一旦發現，應把這些改為一般說法，如“假日” 或“假期”。
　　Step 4: Print the letter on your company letterhead or holiday stationery. Be sure to print some extra copies so you’ll have enough to add contacts at the last minute or to redo cards or letters that are misaddressed or need to be redone for some reason.
　　第四步：用印有公司抬頭的信紙或節日專用信紙打印出這封信。要確保多印幾份，以備在最后關頭增加聯系人，或因為寫錯地址或因某個原因須重寫時有充足的賀卡或祝賀信。
　　Step 5: Send the letter to your contacts with plenty of time to spare. Before addressing and sealing all your envelopes, make sure you have the most up-to-date contact information for your business associate. Then send your cards or letters a few days earlier to allow time for your recipients to receive them. Remember that many people take vacation during this time, so you want to be sure they receive your message before their holiday break.
　　第五步：留出富余的時間將信寄給聯系人。在寫上地址、封好信封之前，要確保你手中的商務伙伴的聯系方式是最新的。其次，提前幾天將賀卡或祝賀信寄出，以留出收信人收信的時間。記住，很多人此時要度假，你要確保他們在度假之前收到你的祝福。
　　By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to create a business holiday letter that all your contacts will be pleased to receive. 　
　　遵循以上這些簡單的步驟，你寫出的商務假日祝賀信就能讓每個收到祝福的人都喜笑顏開。
