To: IT Department <it@innovatecorp.com> From: Maria Flores <m.flores@innovatecorp.com> Date: September 9, 2025 Subject: Question Regarding Software Update Dear IT Department, I am writing in reference to the notice about the system-wide update scheduled for this Thursday. I am a remote employee and work from my home office in a different time zone (3 hours behind the main office). My standard working hours are from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. in my local time. This means I will still be working when the update is scheduled to begin at 10:00 P.M. main office time. Could you please advise if the update will affect my work? I need to know if I should plan to log off early on that day. Thank you for your clarification. Best regards, Maria Flores Sales Representative
