One of the letters that I received (not directed towards me) --- That addresses one companies Holiday Gift Policy-- And I think that you will find this similiar with most banks that you will ever deal with.
Take what you can from this letter-- It gave me a LOT of insight!!
--------------------------------------------------
'Dear Valued Supplier Partner,
With the holidays fast approaching I wanted to stress FIS Asset
Management Solutions (Fidelity) policy on accepting gifts from our
agents and suppliers.
We respectfully ask you to please not send any sort of gift to anyone at
Fidelity, under any circumstance. Examples include, but are not limited
to: food baskets, gift cards, money, and dining certificates. We are
blessed with a great deal of business and fortunate to be gainfully
employed. There are many individuals and families in our country that
have real needs and could use your donations during the holiday season.
All gifts received by our mail room and office support staff will either
be returned or distributed to local charitable concerns when possible.
Instead of sending gifts to our office, we would encourage you to make a
charitable contribution on behalf of Fidelity; notifications of these
kinds of donations should be sent to me using the contact information
below.
Holiday wishes in the form of greeting cards are acceptable and
appreciated. All mail is opened prior to it reaching the intended
recipient; items contained in the envelope that violate our gift policy
will be 're-directed'.
Fidelity awards work to our partners based on the quality of service you
provide. We know that you have the best intentions when sending gifts
to our office and we appreciate those intentions. Please be advised
that decisions on future work assignments and listing referrals may be
impacted by those suppliers that have violated our gift policy.
Please contact me with any questions/concerns. Fidelity wishes all our
supplier partners a safe and prosperous holiday season!'
