Intro. Hey, \[your name\], I know it sucks that Mark's gone, and I know you're probably feeling abandoned right now. But I promise, I'm here for you. We're going to make this year as good as we possibly can. I'll be here to help you with anything you need, anytime. Think of me as your temporary older brother, or your personal fixer-upper.
