Hello,

It's a shame to hear you'll be leaving, Shanis. You were a great help with onboarding, and you always got payments through on time. I'm sure that you've got a bright future ahead of you, though, and that you'll go far in your new position. 

To Katie,
I've heard good things about you and your experience in similar roles before. It's always jarring to settle in with a new company, but we'll all do our best to help you transition and get settled in with the family. I see us all doing good work together. 

Kind regards,
[My name]
