I write business emails like this:
Hello, my fine feathered fiends.
You have been not-at-all-randomly selected to test drive the latest [software thing]. This will be taking place at [time] this afternoon. You shouldn't notice anything happening. It is odorless, colorless, and dissolves instantly in liquid.
If you notice any pain, numbness, tingling, or slow computer performance after [time plus 15 minutes], please consult me, not a doctor, as no serious side-effects may result.
This was followed up by upbraiding one of the respondents for having shitty taste in beer*.
* Seriously, I may be an American Pilsener & Lager-loving wuss, but Bud Light is not "good" beer.
