Dear _________________:
The Board of Directors of _________________ and the Board of Directors of _________________ are pleased to announce the impending merger of _________________ and _________________. The new company will be called _________________.
The merger, which will be finalized on _________________, will create a powerhouse of resources and energy in the _________________ field, and will enable us to build on the strengths of both organizations to make a stronger whole.
Many of you are be wondering what impact this merger will have on you personally. I wish that I could give you specific information now, but I can't. Until we actually see how the two organizations mesh, we will not know which functions or positions are duplicative, who will be offered a transfer, or what other decisions will need to be made. The one thing I can promise you is that we will do our utmost to be fair and to communicate candidly with you every step of the way.
As the actual merging of the two companies becomes a reality, we will all begin to discover the form of the new, expanded _________________.
Sincerely,
_________________
