Introduction
I am writing this letter to propose a solution to the recurring problem in the workplace. The existing problem is that we, as the workers, are working on old versions of computers which are slow in processing various activities. Employers are very frustrated with the performance of these computers since it takes time to process multiple activities. The fact that we are in the financial department, we always find it very hard to prepare various critical financial statements. Some of the company's confidential documents are being breached due to the old versions of computers (Qodirov et al., 2019). It becomes more frustrating and devastating that such security issues have claimed some of the employees' jobs while some are being penalized mercilessly. One of the companies that have experienced data loss due to a lack of proper computers is IBM. In 2016, the company reported a loss of $3.92 million, which took less than a minute to be transferred (Sun et al., 2018). At that time, the company was using a core two duo, the same computer that our company uses. Thus we are still the potential victims if these computers are not upgraded as soon as possible.
