Hey Sally,

Nice work on that presentation. I$\text{'}$m going to send a copy to the board to show off your creativity. Congratulations to you and your team.

Speaking of teams, your leadership during the presentation really shows, and you deserve a promotion for all that hard work. A team is only as good as its leader, after all.

Before sending the message, it occurs to you that your e$-$mail will probably be forwarded to other employees. What will you need to change to make the message appropriate for everyone?

Foculton congratulating the team using each individual's name, and avoid mentioning the promotion.

Explain why the recipient is more deserving of a promotion than the other team members.

Start with the promotion discussion, and use a more formal tone.
