General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / Christmas Card | | German term or phrase: In der Überzeugung auch in Ihrem Sinne zu handeln | Dies ist ein Satzanfang einer Nachricht an die Kunden eines Unternehmens, bei dem ich mir nicht sicher bin, wie es formal richtig ausgedrückt wird. Die Aussage bezieht sich auf die Absicht, lieber eine Spende an eine wohltätige Organisation zu machen, als Weihnachtskarten mit der Post zu verschicken.
Kontext:
***In der Überzeugung auch in Ihrem Sinne zu handeln***, wünschen wir Ihnen und Ihren Familien, ein Gesegnetes und Frohes Weihnachtsfest und ein erfolgreiches Jahr 2012. |

| | English translation:Confident in our conviction that we are acting in accordance with your own beliefs/ wishes | Explanation:
ie the company believes that by not sending out cards but including their seasonal wishes in this letter they are behaving in a manner which would meet with the approval of their clients, being what their clients would also chose to do. That is how I understand it anyway.
