It is impossible to determine if you achieved the desired outcome by a simply letter.

You should take the organizing documents and notarized letter to a lawyer for review. The consultation shouldn't cost more than $600.

For instance, what does that mean that she is "releasing her 50% of the business"?

In reality, that can mean many things.

If you don't already have an attorney for your business, I am available to review the relevant documents in my downtown office.

You generally cannot change an LLC with a notarized letter. People can't release ownership by letter. The fact that you are doing things this way suggests that your business may have numerous errors in its formation and operation that require a lawyer (and possibly a CPA). It is ABSOLUTELY ALWAYS a horrible idea for any business not to have a go-to lawyer and CPA, and it will come back and bite you.

I'd be glad, if you do not have a lawyer, to set up a time to review your paperwork.

Yes, assuming that the operating agreement does in fact allow a member to withdraw from the company that way and that no other document is required.
