Dear Ms. Smith:
I am writing to you about the theft incident in the company in which a testing scope went missing
after courier delivered it. The security camera shows that the scope was physically delivered to the
company by a courier and was received by one of the employees. I have also gone through the
official incident report, the email from the Inventory Manager, and the Online Auction, which give
crucial information concerning this incident. I have also reviewed an article on theft in the
company to help me understand how to deal with this problem appropriately. According to
(Murray 2018), employees who steal are likely to be the most trusted in a firm. I understand that
the three employees who were on duty when the testing scope went missing are amongst the most
loyal employees we have in the firm and have also been with us for a long time now. However,
based on the information provided by (Murray 2010), we cannot rule out the possibility that one or
all of them might have been involved in the theft of the scope. Therefore, I recommend that the
three employees be suspended for the meantime to allow for a thorough investigation to be carried
out. This is the only way we can get to the bottom of this matter and address it adequately. Thank
you.
Best regards,
LaShundra Small
