I agree with this since I've gotten these kinds of letters and helped other businesses take over IT services, but first thing before you give them the letter change the administrator password on any server they have access to and give them the letter he same day. If you have router access (which I hope you have copies of all of these) reset that password and terminate remote ports like the standard windows rdp 3389 so they can't get in.
