Task answer

Dear Mr. Smith I am writing regarding a request to reduce my working hours from full-time to part-time because I have decide to pursue my futher studies and get certification in Manufacturing Engineering. This is only possible by reducing my work hours to 20 hours per week therefore, I will have enough time to focus on studies and also meet my financial goals. This change is important because I will learn new methods of manufacturing products. Therefore, I would like to work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This alternate day work schedule will allow me to attend all my lectures and also complete my assignments on time. The Manufacturing Engineering Certification will not only benefit myself but also help the company grow. I believe it will enhance my technical knowledge and provide me with more ideas for boosting the productivity and efficiency of a manufacturing plant. Thank you for your understanding and support. Yours faithfully, Omkar R.
