Dear Mr. Samir,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing formally to request you to reduce my office hours because I have enrolled in a part-time Management course at The Management School of Columbia, which takes eight months to complete.

Regarding my working hours, I proposed that finishing at 5:00 PM instead of 6:00 PM would cause minimal disruption to the company. I am assuring you that I would finish all the required work during those working hours, which might cause burden on the other employee.

I believe that this part-time course will brings many benefits to my role. This course covers different topics such as time management, leadership, communication and interpersonal skill, which would be not only useful in achieving organization goals and visions and missions but also Contribute to my personal growth.

If you need any other information regarding the course, please let me know.

I am waiting for your positive reply as early as possible.

Yours faithfully,

Sujit
