GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You recently saw an advertisement about a business conference that can be helpful for your work. Write a letter to your manager asking permission to attend the conference.
In your letter, say:
– what the conference is about
– how you know about the conference
– explain to him/her why it is important that you attend this conference
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Mrs. Patricia,
I, am Anna Ferguson, a senior officer in your New Jersey office. I am writing in regards to a business conference which would take place in New York from 22nd to 26th September on ‘Green Entrepreneurship & Management Skills’. I am hoping that you would permit me to attend this conference and give me a chance to better serve my position with the knowledge learned.
This conference is being hosted by IPOC, a renowned business research organisation and it would be presided over by some industry experts. I learned about it from an advertisement published on 12 August in the Daily Business People newspaper.
The conference would cover different aspects of green business and entrepreneurship, steps to engage in forward-thinking policies for environmental concerns, policies affecting human rights and implementing changes and evaluating progress. As we are planning to comply with the green business policies, I can contribute to that from the theories and ideas learned from the discussion.
I would hereby request you to kindly authorize me to attend this convention and oblige thereby.
I hope to receive your permission soon.
Yours sincerely,
Anna Ferguson
