Subject: Request for permission to organise a Technical Writing Workshop
Respected Sir/Madam
On behalf of the Technical Writing Club, I request your kind permission to organise a one-day "Technical Writing Workshop" for the students of our institute on Saturday, 1 February 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Seminar Hall.
Engineering students regularly write lab reports, project reports, research papers and e-mails, yet many of them find it difficult to present technical information clearly. The workshop will cover report and proposal writing, writing user instructions, the 7 Cs of business writing, referencing and avoiding plagiarism. Dr. A. Mehta, a technical communication trainer with fifteen years of industry experience, has agreed to conduct the sessions. About 120 students from all branches are expected to attend, and a nominal registration fee of Rs. 100 per student will cover the cost of study material and refreshments.
We request you to permit us to use the Seminar Hall along with its projector and sound system on that day. We assure you that the workshop will be conducted in a disciplined manner under the guidance of our faculty coordinator, Prof. S. Kulkarni. A detailed schedule is enclosed for your reference.
We shall be grateful for your approval at the earliest.
Yours faithfully
