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

Manager and make a real difference to our company. For these reasons, I am requesting paid leave from 15-20 February to attend the
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 Neil MacFarlane

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

  • for instance
  • therefore
