How do you inform users of system outages that may/will affect their computer usage

At present if I am performing an upgrade I inform users by email with a one line explanation of the work im performing and the issues it might cause users.  Im looking for something a bit more comprehesive, more informative and structured.  Any recomendations is appreciated?
