TO: All Staff

FROM: Jake Ryan, Director, Product Development

DATE: October 23, 2018

SUBJECT: Launch of Product XYZ

Due to extensive customer feedback, and the results of current testing, I wanted to inform you that Product XYZ will be delayed from its original launch date of November 15th, until Q1 2019.

We are confident that time for additional testing will serve to make XYZ more effective in fighting security breaches that customers are facing.
