Dear Mr James,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing this letter to cut off my hours of working as i want to pursue part time course of Global Supply Chain Management.

As of now I am working 30hrs per week in store from Monday to Friday. The course which i have enrolled are to have 4 hour classes on these days followed by assignment and so i will not be able to manage both work and school. I will request you to reduce my hours for the upcoming four months so that i can finish my course smoothly.

I would appreciate if you can provide me a schedule where i can work weekends. I might be able to the opening on sat and sunday from 7am to 3pm. If needed, I can work overtime during the holidays to handle the rush hours.

Moreover, I will also like to mention that this course will not only benefit me in my career but also the work at store. As the course is of Supply chain management, after certification, i will be able to handle the inventory control part of store more efficiently.

Thank you for understanding and apologies for the inconvinience caused.

Yours faithfully,

Sayoni Mukherjee
