Task answer
Dear Mr. Doe,
I am writing to you to ask for a change of my work schedule for next six months. I need to make my office day shorter, because on 1st November I begin a new studying on programming courses which we discussed a month ago and you approuved my studies. Lessons begin at 5 p.m., so I want to leave the office one hour earlier every Monday and Tuesday. It means that I will have 38-hours working week. In six months I will have good practical skills in programming on Python, working in teams, refactoring and deploying services. It can enhance my working performance. So I am sure that my studying will bring many positive changes in my job. So, If you still don't have anything against the new working schedule, please sign my application which I left on your table. I would be grateful if you could fulfill my request.
Yours faithfully, Olga Morozova
