Apart from the bug and the problems it led to:
This is probably the most degrading email I've ever read. Why didn't they try to write something empathic?
They've sent private (potentially critical) documents to someone else and the only feeling they admit it might provoke is "inconvenience". And they apparently aren't even entirely sure whether it may provoke such feelings, given that they chose to write "we apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused".
That plus the classic not to apologize for failing to keep user data private but to apologize for a feeling of inconvenience this may have caused. As if the problem was caused by the user.
It's like a formal version of "Hey, looks like in the end, you made a huge mistake by trusting us, Google, with your data. anyway. inconvenience? Sorry that you feel this way."
I think I'd struggle to write a worse notification letter. Who usually writes those things?
