Passage 2
E-MAIL To: Hiroshi Sato (Building Management) <h.sato@westwoodtower.com> From: Kenji Tanaka (IT Manager, TechGen Inc.) <k.tanaka@techgen.com> Date: September 9, 2025 Subject: RE: Scheduled HVAC System Maintenance Dear Mr. Sato, I am writing in regard to the maintenance notice for this Friday. Our company, TechGen Inc., has its offices on the 9th floor. While I understand the need for this work, I have a significant concern regarding our IT server room. This room contains highly temperature-sensitive equipment that requires constant cooling to prevent overheating and potential damage. A full day without air conditioning could pose a serious risk to our operations. Could you please let me know if it would be possible to provide a portable cooling unit for our server room for the duration of the maintenance? Any assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Kenji Tanaka IT Manager, TechGen Inc.
