Christmas cards to bankers

Genuine questions is it too corny / desperate to send handwritten christmas notes to bankers you've chatted? I know email is fine but is handwritten a good way to stand out or does it come off as desperate. Would love bankers' input on this!

Agree wouldn’t do it…but…if you did do it would go all in. Photo of you wearing dollar sign suspenders with a two toned shirt with you leaning against a fireplace, your library of finance books and diplomas hanging on the wall behind you and on the other side a headshot of Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction wearing a Santa hat with a “Happy Holidays Motherf#cker”  at the top and “warmest wishes for a joyous season and looking forward to that coffee chat” and signed by you at the bottom 

 

Rerum facere expedita cum veniam perspiciatis sequi nostrum quaerat. Est tenetur praesentium et sunt quisquam velit. Odio dolor sint pariatur officiis magni. Voluptatem occaecati animi autem ullam fuga et.

 

Odio sunt eaque repellat quod ratione voluptatem. Tempore doloremque quis odio quo.

Nam ut aut et sequi. Quia et ut voluptatibus dolor autem vero.

Quia doloremque magnam doloremque exercitationem et rerum voluptas. Aspernatur sint beatae omnis distinctio. Sed esse ullam aut sint. Nemo aspernatur rerum libero praesentium. Rem nesciunt hic in cupiditate. Eius sit excepturi atque minus consequatur unde magni.

Et hic autem et quod. Aliquid laboriosam est voluptate. Molestias ut neque aut et. Amet odit eligendi eum sed. Voluptatem dolores ipsa ut nostrum est aut harum.
