Title: Xmas card message in Turkish
Post by: Rimms on December 16, 2009, 12:59:49 PM: I know that our Turkish neighbours will not be celebrating Christmas but we would like to send some of them a nice card to say;

Thank you for all of your help and kindness in 2009 and we send you our best wishes for 2010.

Can anyone help and translate this into Turkish or suggest something similar that would be suitable.

Thanks All.

Tüm yardim ve 2009 yilinda nezaket için teşekkür ederiz ve 2010 için bizim en iyi dileklerimle gönderin.

Cheers NB, now I can write Turkish before being able to speak it. Weird or what?
