Band 7+: 1. You are studying for a qualification, and you would like some time off work to complete it. Write a letter to your manager. In your letter: Ask for some time off to complete a qualification. Suggest what you will do later at work if you have time off. Say how the qualification helps your job or company.

I am writing to inquire some time off work because of the study for a qualification that I attend these days.

I would be grateful if you could give several days off, so I could completely devote my time for improving myself at qualification courses. The reason for my demand is that I scarcely have time tackle all the material that I need to learn after work.

I understand that because of my absence there might spring up some backlogs on finishing some tasks. And I am ready to catch up on it later, when my study will be finished. If there is a necessity, I will work on weekends to finish all my work.

My new qualification will really help to implement my new skills at work. I will be able to communicate with our costumers in a better way and cut more lucrative deals. Moreover, at the course they teach us to muse on the lowdown of business processes that could help me to understand my true goal of sales.

Thanks so much for your attention.

Yours faithfully,

Irina Tychuk.
