What came back
Subject: Approval to attend ProductCon in November ($1,200) Hi Rachel, Can I get your approval to attend ProductCon in November? Total cost would be about 1,200 dollars (800 for the ticket, 400 for travel and hotel). Three of our competitors are speaking, and I'd also use the trip to meet with two vendors we're evaluating. I'll put together a written summary for the team afterward. Early bird pricing ends September 30 and saves about 250 dollars, so it'd help to know before then. Let me know if that works. Thanks, [Your name]
When to use it
Use this when you need something from someone and want the email to make saying yes easy. It puts the ask near the top rather than burying it under justification, which is the single most common reason a request email gets skimmed and forgotten.
