Ahmed Abadi previously worked at eHarbour as a software engineer. Two months after signing a confidentiality agreement and non-competition agreement, Ahmed Abadi tendered his resignation effectively immediately. Daniel Hudson has now learned that Ahmed Abadi is now working for a competing boat navigation software company. After an investigation, Daniel has also learned that Ahmed Abadi sent a number of emails with attachments from his company email address to his personal email address and that a company laptop with confidentiality information is now missing.

In this scenario, you are working as a paralegal or legal assistant for eHarbour and your immediate supervisor is Daniel Huston, the general counsel of eHarbour. Your supervising attorney has asked you to draft a cease-and-desist letter from Daniel Hudson to Ahmed Abadi. In the cease-and-desist letter you should allege misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of the confidentiality agreement, and breach of the non-competition agreement with a demand for return of the eHarbour company laptop. In the letter, discuss the potential remedies that eHarbour could obtain in a legal action against the former employee. Use business letter format for the cease-and-cease letter.
