Need to compose a letter to Vice President requesting that my assistant
attend a trade fair, along with me. I am a Director, but need an additional
pair of eyes and legs to cover the vast amount of procts and information on
display.

Dear Veep,

With your permission, my assistant, Suz Q, will be attending the trade
show with me to provide additional coverage of the large amount of
information being presented at this year's convention, and to help
answer questions, and to provide more sales demonstrations to our clients.

Your Truly,

Joe Bonono
