Dear Mr. Brent,
I hope this letter finds you well.
I am writing this letter to request my working hours in Lancom Technology to be reduced to 30 hours from 40 hours in a weekly basic.
I am requesting hours change due to study part-time. I have enrolled myself in Diploma of Logistics and Freight Forwarding. The part-time course is to be completed in 2 years time.
I would like to work from Monday to Friday from 7am to 1pm, so I could attend my classes on the afternoon session.
I hope this arrangement would allow me to gain more skills and knowledges, which I am confidently to contribute to our logistic department. Besides, the society exposure from lecturers and fellow schoolmates could contribute to our logistic network.
I am appreciate if you could look into this request and approve it. I am delighted to have face-to-face meeting with you to discuss any alternative.
Please do not hesitate to contact if you have any question. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely.
