Dear colleagues and friends

Blame it on the Christmas spirit, or simply on the fatigue of a frantic season of work, but for once, we are tempted to indulge in a little optimism.

Wishing you happy holidays and a prosperous New Year. It has been a pleasure working with you and we look forward to our continued partnership in 2016. Sincerely,

نتمنى لكم أعياد مجيدة وسنة جديدة سعيدة
