    Dear Mr Henry, I am writing to request you to reduce my daily working hours so that I can accommodate my part-time studies which are going to begin at the beginning of the next month. I am taking a part-time Cybersecurity course at Hampton Center College, and I am hoping to get your approval to reduce my working hours so that I can continue the course.
