wishings in English
The mid-autumn festival is coming. We bought some cards for the companies who have the commercial cooperation with us.

But I found that the wishing written in the card is "with warmth and understanding at this times of sorrow... and freindship that is yours for all the tomorrows".

For the word "sorrow" is ok? Is it rightness to send this card to our client?

THANKS A LOT.

Answer

No! Definitely not. That card sounds like it is one to send to someone whose relative has died!

Answer

Hello, Yvonne.

It sounds to me like the card you just mentioned is meant for people who lost a beloved person in their lives, or for a person who just had an unfortunate experience (like a broken heart or just simply depressed). 
I'm not quite sure what the mid-Autumn festival celebrates in your country, but I think the note in the card isn't appropriate for your client. The second part which say that you're offering friendship throughout the years is a lovely thought, however, the first part is quite questionable.
Are they or have they been experiencing hardships and sorrow or mourning? I believe the answer is no, hence, I suggest you go find another card with a more positive message in it. ^_^

Aiza
