Dear Mr. Smith, I am writing to express my concern about the requisition for some hours off in my working cycle per week. The reason is that I have been admitted to a post-graduate university major that would significantly enhance my skills and contribute positively to our team. The major is Advanced Project Management and it will take almost one year beginning in the first week of February 2025. The lectures are to be presented on Mondays and Wednesdays from 07:30 to 11:30 a.m. and focus on strategic planning, risk assessment, and resource allocation, all of which are vital for our ongoing projects. To facilitate my participation, I would kindly request that the company consider me 8 out of 40 hours per week off so that I can proceed with the course most effectively. I can compensate for the above-mentioned off hours on Saturdays in the office or Sundays at home to handle my routine tasks. The good point is the classes are online and I would not have to commute and waste my time. It is definitely clear that
