Internal team update email template
Three internal team update templates that get read instead of archived.
Internal updates fail when they bury the lede. The most-read internal emails open with the decision or the metric, not the context. Context is the bottom paragraph, for people who care. The structure: TL;DR (one sentence), what changed (three bullets), what you need to do (one verb).
Three templates you can copy
