Cc [include names of anyone else in the firm who should receive this notification, for example the HR Manager]

FYI: Cc stands for ‘carbon copy’ from the days before computers when duplicates of correspondence were made with carbon paper – the carbon copy could be sent to another person so they had exactly the same information as the person receiving the original.
