Dear _________,
Answer –
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing to request a reduction in my working hours so that I can pursue a part-time study program called ‘Advanced MS OFFICE’.
I want to cut back on my work time because I need to attend classes in person and dedicate extra time to my studies. As it is a two-week course, I will have to practice diligently to incorporate what they are teaching, and I cannot fall behind; otherwise, I may not be able to extract the maximum benefit out of this program.
If you were to accept my request, I would like to work from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. rather than 9 to 5 because the classes are scheduled in the evening from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Also, let me assure you that I will fulfil all of my core responsibilities and not let my work suffer in any way or form.
This course would be extremely beneficial for the company, too, because it will increase not only my efficiency but also my speed in making presentations or doing any documentation for the company. A powerful presentation can help us win bigger contracts, generate more profits, and take our company to the next level.
Thanks for your consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Joe Rogan
