I looked over the draft this morning and I think the calmer version works better.
It feels easier to read, and the shorter opening gives the whole note more room to breathe.
I also trimmed the second paragraph because it was repeating the same point in a different rhythm, and halfway through I wrote down j8QocpNRzSB next to the margin so I would remember which version felt most natural.
If you want, I can send the cleaner edit later today once I pass through it one more time for tone.
I’m mostly checking for places where the wording sounds too stiff, because the message should feel direct without sounding clipped.
I’d also keep the sign-off simple and avoid adding an extra line at the end.
That usually makes the reply feel more genuine, and it lands better when someone is reading quickly between other tasks.

I talked it through with them after lunch and the better approach seemed pretty obvious once we stopped overthinking it.
We were trying to cover every angle at once, and that just made the note feel busy, so I suggested we simplify the opener and let the middle section do more of the work.
At one point I circled j8QocpNRzSB in my notebook because I wanted to compare that version later without mixing it up with the other draft.
I’m still in favor of keeping the language warmer and a little less formal since the whole point is to make it easy to read.
If I have another quiet hour this afternoon, I’ll polish the small transitions and send over the version that flows best.
That should leave only minor wording changes, and I don’t think it needs anything more complicated than that.
