Dear Prof. P,
Re: Request for permission to take class in business writing
My name is NAME, I am a XXX year student who studies SUBJECT. I am writing to request a permission to take a class on business writing.
I do understand that there are only 20 spots in your class and there are many people who want to get a place. However, I am the right person to consider for one of those seats and here is why.
Firstly, business communication has become a must for every person who is will to grow into a professional one day. It is essential to know how to communicate with colleagues and business partners and especially how to put your thoughts and ideas in a clear and constructive way. And I truly hope to master this skill.
Secondly, I am planning to run my own business one day and knowledge of business writing would greatly contribute to my image as a businessman. The way I communicate with my partners and co-works is directly related to the way my business partners see me. Also, I would be able to become more effective by making people understand what I want from them, when I want it and how I want it using only a single letter or email.
Lastly, taking into account the fact that I used to be a member of the school council back in high school, I have already gained some experience in writing official letters which will positively influence knowledge sharing in class. I am convinced our cooperation will be beneficial for everyone.
Thank you for taking the time and considering my request.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Sincerely,
