will be offering a workshop in the next
three months
. As it involves my service line of work, I will like to participate in the program. Also
, the department at the head
office
is known to use the latest techniques in operations which works perfectly. I long to gain experience in using these techniques to incorporate them into our country's system. A period of six months
should be enough for my purpose. I hope you will consider my intent.
I already have plans to cover for
my period of absence. As the Change preposition
apply
head
of the department, I train my subordinates on how to carry out tasks effectively even in my absence. I plan to communicate via group chats on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3 pm for updates on work as well as to give approvals.
Would you kindly recommend me to the head
office
so as to participate in the workshop and also
gain experience? I would prefer to go in the next
two months
so that I can understand a few of their operations before the workshop starts. Kindly treat it as urgent because it takes about a month to process and obtain a visa to the country.

The Greeting
Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.
Always start an informal letter in the ways:
- Dear + name
- Hi / Hello + name
‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.
For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:
- Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
- Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
