At my job we've learned that anyone above director level simply will not read beyond the first sentence of a fucking email. So we have to write them these orc-like one liner emails and pray they understand whatever it is the fuck they need to understand. They have zero nuance or patience. They just want to grunt and point.
They do notice bolded, red letters usually saying "PRODUCTION HALT".
So if the first email didn't do the trick you double the CC list and sprinkle some color in the text. After that they're on their own.
