Coherence and Cohesion
Consider organizing your paragraphs more clearly, with each paragraph focusing on a single main idea. For instance, your second paragraph could solely discuss the work handover to Harry, while the third paragraph could expand on how the course will benefit the company.
Coherence and Cohesion
Try to avoid abrupt transitions between topics. Use linking words or phrases to introduce new ideas or paragraphs. This will help in creating a smoother flow to your writing.
Task Achievement
Make sure your request for time off and the dates are clear and prominent within your letter, perhaps introducing this in the first paragraph for immediate clarity to the manager.
Task Achievement
Enhance the letter by explaining more about the specifics of how the qualification will help with the job or company. This will make for a more compelling argument as to why you should be granted time off.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
