Hey Sally,

Nice work on that presentation. Im going to send a copy to the CEO to show off your creativity. Congratulations to you and your team.

Speaking of teams, Im sending a recommendation to Human Resources. 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 subordinates.

What will you need to change to make the message appropriate for both a subordinate and other subordinates?

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

Make the message even more friendly and informal but focus only on congratulating the team.

Focus on congratulating the team using each individuals name and use a more formal tone. Send news about the promotion recommendation in a separate e-mail.
