Sample Request Email with ROI Focus

Dear Manager,

I’m very excited about the opportunity to attend Perspectives 2008, Epicor’s Global User Conference, scheduled for October 19-22^nd. There will be three days of hands-on education, networking with industry peers, and over 500 sessions to choose from. The conference offers content directly applicable to my work on the (insert: project(s) or initiatives you are working on) and will allow me to network with a number of Epicor product experts and over 2000 Epicor users. Many of the technical presentations cover how to reduce costs, increase ROI and deal with compliance issues.

I’ve highlighted some of the ways the company will benefit from having me attend this conference and appreciate you taking the time to review this material.

• Benefits of attending: sessions/labs/extended education/industry peer networking

For three full days of learning, the conference is a great value at $1,195. We need to register by August 25, 2008. The additional travel and hotel costs should also be under $1,000.

Here’s a link to the conference site, http://perspectives.epicor.com. I really believe attendance is important to help protect our investment in Epicor. Please send back your approval for the registration fee and travel expenses or let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks again for considering this opportunity!
