为项目管理课程申请休假Time off for project management course

Dear Ms Wanjiru, I am writing to ask whether I could take five days off next month to attend a training course in project management. The course is run by the Kenya Institute of Management in Nairobi and takes place from 10 to 14 November, from nine to four each day. It covers planning, budgeting and managing risk, and participants who pass the final assessment receive a recognised certificate. I believe the course would make a real difference to my work. As you know, our team is about to start the new warehouse project, and I will be responsible for coordinating the suppliers. At the moment, I organise schedules using my own spreadsheets, so learning professional planning methods would help me keep the project on time and within budget. While I am away, my colleague Brian has kindly agreed to deal with any urgent orders, and I will make sure that all my reports are finished before I leave. I would also be able to check my emails each evening. I would be happy to discuss this with you at a convenient time. Yours sincerely, Faith Otieno
