Seasonal trends for currencies

I just received an email offering to sell a report on seasonal trends for currency pairs. Apparently certain currencies have always trended one direction or another (strongly) in certain months of the year for at least the last 7 years.

Does anyone here have more information on this - do you have a trading strategy based upon this kind of seasonal information?

For example, on one report I just read, it says the GBP/USD tends to trade down strongly during the month of August with December being the month for the greatest gains.

I understand that the past is important, but you can't always depend on it. Yeah, it might hit every once in a while but then your going to take that huge loss when it doesn't. But, then again, who am I? To each his own.
I dream, therefore I become.

I cannot believe that there are people out there selling this type of information.
