Alright, time to play 'Privacy Police' and get the OPC on the case. Option C all the way, no question about it. Gotta cover those bases, am I right?

All 1000 clients getting new letters? That's overkill, man. Just send the 500 who got the wrong ones and be done with it. Option B is the way to go.

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner? Definitely gotta bring them in on this one. Option C is the responsible choice here, no doubt.

500 clients impacted? Yikes, that's a lot! I'd go with option B - those folks need to know ASAP that their info got messed up. They'll want to be on top of that, for sure.

Hmm, I'd say option D is the way to go. Gotta assess the risk before taking any action, right? Can't just jump the gun without knowing the full scope of the issue.
