Ok, as promised a month or so ago I am leaving Eve on the 19/12 and have lots of cash to give away in the form of Christmas presents (as I have no friends )
To get one, just send an eve-mail to 'FATHERCHRISTMAS 2008' with the amount of isk OR item you would like and a good/funny reason for needing it
I will be allocating isk/items based on the eve-mail and will be more likely to give presents to newer players or those who send a good eve-mail. The maximum size of present is probably 50M, although it'll have to be a damn good mail for me to give a higher amount away. I may give away a 'motherlode' of a present if the eve-mail is *really* good.
If you want a particular item, Father Christmas will be setting up his grotto in Bourynes and will happily get the item for you if it is easy to get without too much travelling involved for him and his Cosmic Reindeer. The item will be put on contract in Bourynes in this case..
Oh, and finally, people need to be willing for me to post the eve-mails here, so if you're don't accept that as a condition, don't mail me. Unless posting eve-mails is not allowed, in which case I'll paraphrase the mail.
Merry Christmas Everyone

Lol - thought that would be the first response.
It's zero, but it tells you when you mail anyway so people would soon find out and shout 'scam' if it was anything else.

Hmmm, that could take some doing with the maximum size of eve-mails, but I might be tempted to send you the more interesting ones. Although since I'm going to post them here, I'm not sure what the point would be.

You're absolutely right - they deserved it: -
Dear Santa, we got bullies outside our station, we wrote this song to lift our spirits.
PS: Why don't you have a beard?
Oh the campers outside are frightful, But the bay is so delightful, And we've got no ship that flows, Let 'em blow! Let 'em blow! Let 'em blow!
The campers don't seem like pausing, And I've bought some PODs for popping, If Santa brings us something to show, Let 'em blow! Let 'em blow! Let 'em blow!
When we finally get to fight, How I'll hate going out in the storm! But if we do this op real right, They'll be in PODs so warm!
The fires are slowly dying, And, my FC, we're still here flying, But as long as you guide me so, Let 'em blow! Let 'em blow! Let 'em blow!
EDIT: Oh, and if the quality of the letters don't improve I Will be sending some more their way. There's been a lot of 'Give me isk for a new ship' which is hardly eloquent or Christmassy

It's a shame there's so little trust and effort during the festive seasons. Ah well, the kids appreciate the new toys and they sent santa some unconventional gifts too.
Shame there's no..what did they call it...milk and cookies

No, trust is in short supply... as are people wanting money (bizarre or what) although that may be due to the fact that the mods moved this into the backwater that is 'Events and Gatherings'...

Dear Father Christmas,
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, I hope it finds you in good spirits, as my own spirits are quite low. I have been plagued as of late by some very bad men who have repeatedly destroyed my ship as I attempt to bring Antibiotics and Polytextiles to the disadvantaged orphans of low sec space stations.
I know you can't work miracles, and you can't make the bad men go away, so I won't ask for that. Rather, I look for the equipment and skills that will allow me to bring good will and love to all.
An Anathema, fitted with a Covert Ops Cloaking Device II module would let me get a trickle of supplies to the poor disadvantaged orphans and make everyone (Except the bad men) very very happy this Christmas. If it would not be too much trouble, the skill books Cloaking and Covert Ops, should you be willing to supply them for me, would free up more ISK allowing me to buy Dolls and other Christmas gifts for the poor, disadvantaged orphans of low sec.
I am reluctant to ask, lest I appear greedy, but if my story has touched your heart, a Viator and the Transport Ships skill book would turn this trickle of good cheer into a deluge of happiness for the disadvantaged orphans of low sec.
Thank you Father Christmas.
With love,
Giacomo Hawkins

-- UPDATE --
Ok, so far I've given away just under a billion and had lots of nice thank you letters, but there's more to give away. I'm going to give the last bit away in a random starter system (although it may well be Bourynes, as that's where I am) just before I quit (19th) but there's still time to get your letters in.
Merry Christmas everybody

Well, you can't take it with you into the next life/MMO/whatever, so if each little bit helps someone then all the better.
Still presents to give out - just send me a mail (preferably an entertaining one)
