    How it's done

    The six-step announcement.

    01

    Open warmly

    "Hey Team," never "To whom it may concern."

    02

    Deliver the news

    Say what is happening, when, and what to do about it.

    03

    Add the pun

    Preferably one that fits the project like a glove. Or a door. Or a step.

    04

    Bold the action

    So skimmers still get the point. The pun is optional reading.

    05

    Self-review

    "I know this email was not packed with humor." Rate your own work.

    06

    Stay positive

    "Stay grounded and positive, my friends!" Send. Await groans.
