Explanation / Answer

To: Tom Dickinson, Senior Manager- ABC Technologies

From: Sam Philip, Technical Lead

Date: January 20, 2018

Subject: Request for Financial Help to Learn Business Writing Course

I am writing this memo to seek financial help from ABC Technologies for joining the learning program. As part of career growth and finding new opportunities I have decided to join the Effective Business Writing Course provided by the California University. I request my company to sponsor me for the mentioned course.

As the Technical Lead I have contributed my best for the organization and now I would like to move to the managerial role. As business writing skills are very essential to communicate with the stakeholders I have chosen this course to serve my organization in a better way. In my current role also effective business writing would help to make the communication more effective adhering to the company standards. But my financial status is not sufficient to pay the $5000 fee and I am in need of sponsorship.

I am seeking $5000 required as course fee from the company and I can pay other miscellaneous fee that might appear. The course duration is six months and the course is conducted on weekends and holidays as most of the participants are working professionals. Hence I can assure that my work will not be affected and I can concentrate on my work with full dedication as before. The knowledge from the course would help me to perform better in my current role as well and communicate the issues as well as the achievements more effectively than before.

I am confident that I can be successfully complete the course and benefit my organization with the knowledge and skill achieved through the business writing course. I would request you to consider my request and help to get the company sponsorship for my studies.
