Dear Martin
I have recently become aware of a
course
called Social Media Marketing Essentials and I am writing to ask for your support in taking this
course
. It is a five-day intensive program being offered by the Business Leadership Association and it starts on Monday 15 February. I believe the course
would be of great benefit to our company as we have been recently considering how to build up our social media presence and attract more customers online. After reading reviews by former participants, I think this
Social Media course
will help me professionally in my capacity as Communications
Manager and make a real difference to our company.
For these reasons, I am requesting paid leave from 15-20 February to attend the Correct article usage
a Communications
course
. It would be helpful if other team members did not take leave at this
time; so far nobody else has applied. I believe this
will not be a particularly busy time at work, but I am prepared to spend some time working on those evenings if needed.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately
Linking words are very important in your essay.
To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.
Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.
In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.
Linking word examples:
- firstly
- secondly
- thirdly
- in additional
- moreover
- also
- for example
- for instance
- therefore
- however
- although
- even though
- despite
