    I always find the phrasing of “effective immediately…” to sound a bit hostile, but I hope the transition is smooth.

      “Effective immediately.” = Hostile, forceful.

      “Effective yesterday.” = Mysterious, invites questions, makes you sound like a time-traveler.

      Slightly better “this happened weeks ago but we’re just now getting around to updating everyone”.
