Subject: Unauthorized Disclosure of Confidential Information by a Colleague Dear [Colleague's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a serious matter regarding a breach of confidentiality that has recently come to my attention. It has been brought to my notice that certain sensitive information, which was entrusted to us as employees of [Company Name], has been shared with unauthorized individuals. In Contra Costa County, California, where [Company Name]'s operations are based, maintaining the confidentiality of our clients' and company's information is crucial to our success and reputation. It is the responsibility of every member of our team to handle and safeguard confidential data with utmost care and professionalism. Unfortunately, our internal investigations have led us to believe that you may have shared confidential information with parties outside the company without proper authorization. Disclosing such information not only violates the trust placed in us by our clients and the company but also raises legal, ethical, and regulatory concerns. As an employee, it is imperative that we adhere to our code of conduct, which explicitly states that we must protect the confidentiality of all sensitive information. Breaching this confidentiality can have severe consequences for both you and the company, including legal implications, damage to our reputation, and the loss of valuable business relationships. We understand that accidents can happen, and sometimes mistakes are made unintentionally. However, it is crucial that we address this matter promptly and ensure that appropriate steps are taken to rectify the situation and prevent any further breaches. We take this matter very seriously and would like to provide you with an opportunity to explain the situation from your perspective and offer any clarifications. We request that you schedule a meeting with the human resources department at your earliest convenience to discuss this matter further. This meeting will serve as a formal inquiry to ensure that we have a complete understanding of the situation. In the interim, it is essential that you refrain from discussing or sharing any further confidential information with unauthorized individuals. We kindly request your full cooperation during this investigation process. We assure you that all discussions and findings will be handled confidentially, but necessary actions will be taken, if required. Confidentiality is a core value of our organization, and we hold every employee accountable to uphold this principle. We trust that you understand the gravity of this situation and will take this matter seriously. We anticipate your full cooperation and await your prompt response to schedule the meeting. Please be advised that failure to respond or cooperate in the investigation may result in further disciplinary actions, up to and including termination of your employment. Thank you for your immediate attention to this important matter, and we look forward to resolving it as soon as possible. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Position/Title] [Company Name]
