We felt that the merger with _________________ would be a profitable one because _________________. Over the next few months, we will be able to tell you more about how this merger will change the day-to-day operations of our firm. For the moment, continue with business as usual.
My only suggestion is that those of you who have a specific interest in either relocating to one of _________________'s locations or in moving to a new area of responsibility within the enlarged _________________ should speak with your manager about upcoming opportunities.
