Band 8 IELTS Letter Sample

Dear Mr. Pal,

I am writing to request a 5 day leave of absence in order to participate in a training course. It is a course on negotiation skills and I learned about it on the internet.

It is an in-depth course with theory as well as practical case studies. This training course is going to be delivered by business tycoons, who have made it big in their respective fields. I believe that this course will help me in negotiating perfect deals with our sub-contractors. As we expand our businesses and reach more customers, negotiation skills would be critical for the continued success of our company.

The course runs for 5 days from Monday through Friday, starting next week. I humbly request you to grant me leave of absence during this period, so that I can attend the training.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Aditya Naik
