SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Mr………. ,
I would like to ask your permission for a few days off from work. I hope to attend a software training course that will help me with my job. The course lasts one week.
A special course on using publications software will be given next month. Participants in this course will learn how to use the software to design and publish newsletters, brochures, and other materials.
As you know, I have recently taken on responsibility for producing our company newsletter. I have some ideas for improving the appearance of the newsletter, but I lack the technical knowledge. This course would help me produce a really great-looking newsletter for our clients to read.
The course begins on the first of next month and goes from Monday until Friday. Therefore, I would have to be away from work for the whole week. However, I feel the skills I will gain will be well worth it. I hope you will let me take this time off for the course.
Please let me know what you think.
Sincerely,
