Questions 26-30 refer to the following memo and email.
Attn: All staff
From: Alice Bergman, Vice President
Trang 3/6


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 recent months, employees have been complaining about delays in computer functions. It has been
determined that viruses and other security breaches have created the inadequate processing capacities.
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.
I‟m hoping you will have a solution to this difficulty. Please let me know as soon as possible how we
can solve this problem.
Sincerely,
Janet Copland
Health Project Coordinator
