I would modify this to omit your "boss". If you think you are being approached to commit IP theft or a crime use a voice phone to call the chief legal officer's office and ask to immediately speak to a corporate attorney. Relate the incident to them and follow their instructions. Speak to no one else first.
The reason to omit all others is that at this point you don't know several things: is there an already existing investigation that you are now part of? Is your boss or anyone you work with implicated or suspected in it? And so on.
The only other thing you may wish to consider is if you want to discuss it with your personal attorney first. If you think you may have some legal exposure (it is very difficult to know, as a lay person, wether you do or not) you may want expert advice before informing the company. In any case proceed quickly, do not delay in informing the company unless so advised by your attorney.
