You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear …………..,

Dear Mr Smith, My name is Maggie Wang and I am currently working as a
Computer
Engineer in IT department. I am writing to share some exciting news of mine with you. I recently received a full scholarship to obtain a Master's degree in
Computer
Science at the University of Toronto. The scholarship was awarded because I finished
second
place in a coding competition that was held by the university
last
summer. I am very excited to learn about the reward as well as the opportunity to
further
advance myself in the
computer
engineering field. There is no doubt that
this
will benefit my current job. I will be able to complete more projects in less time.
Also
, the new and most updated
computer
coding language that I will study and master during the program will equip me with the most cutting-edge tools to help our company stand out from the competition. The courses will be conducted in distance learning.
However
, there is an on-site test each month which requires me to travel to the test location.
Therefore
, I need to ask your permission to be absent from my work on the test day. Your earliest response to the request would be appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Maggie Wang
