Hi [name], 
It has been an incredible journey these past months, and everyone has worked so hard and shown a level of commitment that inspires me. I must reward the commitment to work and the staff's dedication during this period.

Hence, I am planning a surprise for some of the staff with gift cards, and your confidentiality would be appreciated so as not to ruin the surprise. I am considering gift cards like Visa, Target, or Amex since we have them almost everywhere. What's the closest store you can find to make a purchase quickly on my behalf?

I am sure everyone would appreciate it. And a little gesture like this will go a long way.

Kind Regards,
