Dear Ms. Rhee,

I am Sun Han, your evening course student. As much as I enjoy your class, I am afraid that I have to take this semester off due to some changes at my work.

Recently, my company launched a new branch in Tokyo, Japan and is looking for someone who will manage the branch until it settles down. My boss wants me to go ther for three months.

I know that this course is really practical and informative to me and I do not want to take a leave of absence; however, the task is a great opportunity to me and will directily affect my performance appraisal and salary increase next year. Therefore, I would like to take the job and how my competency.

I believe that I will returned in three months which is timely for the start of the next semester. After that, _ _I will enroll in your class without fail since my boss vouched for that my work will no longer interfere my studies. If need be, I can also hand in a document from my company as a proof that I am taking an important task in another country.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Sun Han
