<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">As many of you may have just noticed, our system just generated a bunch of emails informing many of you that you are subject to removal because Microsoft does not have evidence of a qualifying
audit on file. This is likely an error on our side, but we need your help. Our CRM system suffered a data loss, and it looks like it rolled back to an old backup. As a result, we lost audit data for about 147 roots. If you received a message, please don’t
panic. Instead, please just send Microsoft your most-recent audit data, and we will update our records. Sorry for the confusion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
