I wanted to share this because I think it's a pretty cool thing. For every card e-mailed, $.50 is donated to the named cause. The card itself has live links for more info about the project and about our charitable foundation that supports and picks the cause each year (the card is also a lot prettier than shown here :)).
We are a global environmental consultant, so it is very important to us to walk the sustainability walk since that's a big part of what we sell to clients. We have more than 4,000 employees in 40 countries, so tens of thousands of these cards get e-mailed out.
**Where it says [company] it of course has our actual name. Edited out for privacy.**

Dear [Client],
On behalf of [company], I would like to wish you a happy holiday season. For more than five years we have sent an electronic card instead of sending paper greeting cards, helping to raise funds for various environmental initiatives. The money that would have been spent on cards and postage this year will be used to support a conservation project at the Tongabezi Trust School in Zambia, promoting local biodiversity and creating better food security for the children and their families.
Season's Greetings from [company]
Best wishes,
