Dear Manager,

Opening

I hope this letter finds you well.

Bullet 1

say how you and your colleagues felt about the course

The language training course organized by our company was incredibly beneficial and well-received by myself and my colleagues. We found the content engaging, the instructors knowledgeable, and the interactive activities helped us improve our language skills significantly.

Bullet 2

explain why you all want to do more language training

We are eager to continue our language training as we believe it will not only enhance our communication abilities within the company but also open up opportunities for us to work on international projects and collaborate with foreign clients more effectively. Furthermore, improving our language proficiency will boost our confidence and overall job performance.

Bullet 3

suggest when and where the training could take place

We would like to propose scheduling the additional language training sessions twice a week during our lunch breaks in the conference room. This way, it will not disrupt our daily work schedule, and we can continue to apply our newfound language skills in a practical setting.

Closing

We are excited about the prospect of further language training and appreciate your support in facilitating this for us. Thank you for considering our request.
