Band 6+: You are a teacher interested in attending a professional development workshop, but you need funding from your school to cover the fees. Write a letter to your school principal requesting financial support to attend the workshop. In the letter: Introduce yourself and your role at the school Describe the workshop and its relevance to your teaching position Explain the benefits of attending the workshop and request funding assistance

Dear Mr James,

I am writing this letter with regard to seeking monetary assistance from Sunrise Academy to subsidize the costs of a professional training workshop that I wish to attend.

To elaborate on my background, I have been working as a full-time tutor in Sunrise Academy for 10 years. My main job duties are teaching Public Health theories and demonstrating how to apply these concepts to our society practically.

About the workshop, this event is held by Singapore Government, the Hospital Authority (HA), aiming at publishing new trends of infectious diseases and their precautions. The current curricula that I am coaching consist of a large section about the relationship between human immune system and living environment, which is closely related to the main theme of the workshop.

After participating in this HA workshop, I can incorporate these updated skills and knowledge into our syllabus, which will be a highlight of our courses. I am sure that the number of student enrollment will be boosted after launching this appealing class promotion. Hence, I am asking the fund sincerely.

I look forward to hearing from you about your approval of this fund request.

Best regards,

Nat Cheung
