Message from your manager that you can use or adapt
Thanks for your help over the past year and in the year to come
Welcome to a brand new year. It will be full of challenges for all of us — not much question about that.
As always, we are continually changing. Sometimes change will occur in your department and sometimes in others, but it will always be part of our work. Just remember: It is through changes, upgrades, recalculations, and reflection on the future that we grow and improve.
We're counting on you big-time. And when I say you, remember that word is both singular and plural. We'll be depending on you as an individual to see us through times that call for that little extra something that only you can give. We're counting on you as a group to give as much input and effort as you did last year, and maybe even more.
Speaking of last year: We were so involved in year-end activities that I may have neglected to thank you for a year of great work. Thank you sincerely, and have a happy New Year.
