From: Alice Bergman, Vice President

Trang 4/6

Subject: Network disruption

All employees should be aware that the computer network will be shut down on Friday, April 6, between 1 p.m and 4 p.m The disruption is in addition to our monthly maintenance sessions, so I‟ll give a brief explanation here why we‟re having the shutdown

In an attempt to prevent further breaches, our computer technicians will install new security software, which will require the entire network to be temporary off-line

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause If there are any concerns regarding this procedure,

or if you have any other inquiries, please get in touch with me or your supervisor

SUBJECT: Network shutdown

DATE: Wednesday, April 4

Hi, Ben,

I‟m writing in regard to Friday‟s shutdown of Health Buffs‟ computer network Just so you know, I‟ve already written Ms Bergman to express my discontent at the lack of sufficient prior notice for this disruption

My team will be making a presentation at the annual Health Board meeting on Monday, April 9, at which health organizations from around the region will be attending We‟re on schedule in terms of our research, but we were counting Friday as our last day to put together the information

This disruption does not affect me because I have a computer at home, and I‟ve downloaded the required information from our company‟s network But there are two members of our team who do not have home computers, and they require the equipment on Friday to finish their presentations

Sincerely,
