Dear Elaine,

I am requesting your approval to attend a one week course in McGraw Hill University in Montreal. The course will be on management of technological environment and runs from Monday the 5^th to Friday the 9^th of next month. The total cost of the course is $695, which is inclusive of materials, books, lunch and a guest speaker from industry every lunch hour. The deadline for registrations will be 23^rd of this month. I would also like to bring to your attention that registration by telephone is also acceptable.

I consider this course relevant to me as an employee of the company, and am very willing to attend it. If you could remember, last winter I missed a similar opportunity because I was attending to company assignments. By then the company sponsored four engineers to attend.

I would also be glad if the company considers paying my tuition fees, travel costs and lodging. The tuition fee is amounting to $695 that will cater for the whole course. Securing lodging requires $129 for a night. I will need to spend four nights. Concerning travel costs, I suggest that I can use the rental car I use for the project. However it will require some compensation of $34.95 per day for the five days to the company. To enable me attend this course, I also request the company to spare me my task in the IPT project for one week.

Since this course is very relevant to the work I do for the company, I believe that attending it will add value to me and reflect directly to the performance of the company. Since the time remaining to the deadline is short, I am kindly requesting that you consider responding in time for purposes of making the necessary arrangements and registration.

Yours sincerely
