You see, today XXXX- {Date, ex: June 3rd} is the 6 month "Un-Happy Anniversary" of the last time we saw you at {Name of your company, ex: Williams Widget Store.} We miss you!

We considered filing a missing persons report, but decided instead to ask you to complete a "Why I've Gone Missing" report by XXXX- {How do you want them to contact you, ex: calling me directly at 000-000-0000.}
