Your company recently announced a new benefit. According to the announcement, the company will “pay for expenses associated with taking job-related coursework or pursuing a program of study leading to a degree.” Courses must be approved by the employee’s manager prior to enrollment. A transcript and expense documentation must be submitted after the course ends.

As a sales representative, you believe you would benefit from taking Comm 344 Persuasive Speaking at Ramsey College next semester. Prepare a message asking DuWayne Sussex, your manager, for approval to take the course. Classes begin in four weeks, and you would like to register as soon as possible.
