Subject: Request to enroll in Think Like a Strategy Consultant

Hi [Insert first name],

I’ve found an online course on problem-solving, communication, and presentation skills taught by a former strategy consultant called Think Like a Strategy Consultant (learn.strategyu.co) and I’m writing to request approval to enroll and get company reimbursement.

Based on reviews and testimonials from other executives at Fortune 500 companies, I believe the course will help me dramatically improve my ability to identify, structure, and solve problems as well as build effective presentations to communicate complex information.

As part of the course I will get:

Access to 80 lessons on problem solving, consulting skills, presentation building, storytelling, and structured communication
3 case assignments with example solutions
A number of lessons from strategy consulting, problem solving, communication, and presentation building I can share with the team
A set of 100+ consulting templates to help me understand better ways of presenting information
Five AI skills for Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools
Gain insights on strategy consulting approaches from top firms like McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group without having to change careers

I will be able to directly apply the principles I learn in:

[add project or initiative]

This is a completely self-paced, online course that I can do at my own pace, and on my own time. Which means it won’t require time off, airfare, or lodging expenses. The total cost, everything included, is only $797.

I’ll be sure to submit a post-course report or write a blog post that will include an executive summary, major takeaways, and the most useful techniques from the course.

Thank you for considering this request. I’m happy to talk with you if you’d like any further information.

Regards,
[Insert your name]
