Just send this email to your boss 👍🏾

Dear [Boss],

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to reach out to see if it would be possible for me to expense a subscription to a engineering leadership newsletter called Tech Dad.

The newsletter is focused on learning effective engineering management/leadership skills. I believe it would be a valuable resource for me to grow as an engineering leader. It costs $9.99 per month or $114.99 per year, which is a 35% discount.

I understand that budgets are always tight, but I believe that the benefits of this subscription would outweigh the cost. It would give me access to valuable insights and best practices from experienced engineering leaders, as well as opportunities to connect with other professionals in the field.

Would it be possible to expense this subscription as a professional development opportunity? I would be happy to discuss the details further and provide any additional information that might be helpful in making a decision.

Thank you for considering my request.

Sincerely, [Your Name]
