Subject：Request for permanent part-time hours of work.

Dear Colin，

I would like to request a permanent reduction in my hours of work from full-time to 4 days per week. My reasons for this are personal ones.I have undertaken some part-time extramural study this year and I would like to have enough time to devote to this in order to make it worthwhile.

I also have a 90-year-old mother who is becoming frailer and I would like to have more time to take care of her.

I would be happy to discuss this with you by phone if necessary. My extension is 8470.

Thank you，

Petra Johnson

主题：请求长期地减少工作时间

亲爱的考林：

我想长期地减少工作时间，即从全日制改为每周工作四天。提出这一申请主要是由于我个人的原因。今年我报名参加了业余的成人教育课程，因此，我希望能有足够的时间用来学习，以确保学有所获。

另外，我90岁的老母亲日益羸弱，我希望能有更多的时间来照顾她。

如有必要，我愿意与您通过电话商议此事。我的分机号码是8470。

谢谢！

派特拉·约翰逊
