Exercise 24

You work as an administrative intern for Peck and Briggs, a small but well-respected public accounting firm located in Cleveland, OH. Traditionally, Peck and Briggs has replaced its employees' computers on a rotating schedule every three years. But the recession has required some cost-cutting measures, and those who are waiting for replacement computers will now need to wait another year before receiving their upgraded computers. In addition, everyone in the firm will need to be advised that computers will now be replaced on a four-year, not three-year, schedule. This means that they will need to make do with the Microsoft Office suite that is on their current computers, since that soft ware is upgraded only when the computers are replaced. (This issue will not affect the accounting soft ware, since the firm uses Intacct.com, a cloud-based soft ware service, rather than soft - ware on their own computers.)
Your task is to draft a message for Mr. Peck, senior partner, to send to all employees informing them of the new policy.
