This will send the announcement to internal only people and most internal groups have been auto-subscribed to that list, so it should hit everyone in the organisation. It may include specific internal-only information, but most of the core content should be the same as the external email.

Feel free to adjust the text to match better with the circumstances of the release, or add other news that are relevant at the time.
