I can deal with the Group Manager getting his managers to pass on the information; they would better know who is affected and which email aliases to use. But:
1. Team Manager has three team leaders plus staff, and there is an email address that covers everyone in the team. Why couldn't he send it directly to the team? What does the extra hand-off achieve?
2. Why couldn't the team leader who actually sent the message to the team snip out the paper-trail and just include the message?
