Dear Sir / Madam,
I kindly request for funds to attend this year's Laracon US in Boston, MA. While my work has been satisfactory, I believe I could deliver even more shareholder value by learning and networking with the esteemed Artisans of the Laravel Community.
I must impress upon you that failure to attend would be a grave misfortune not only for myself, but for the company, the codebase, and indeed the broader trajectory of software development as we know it.
Furthermore, if I go with my colleagues we can secure Laravel's finest discount. To neglect such a discount would be, I believe, a dereliction of fiscal responsibility.
As the great Taylor Otwell himself once wrote:
"Elegant code is not born, it is forged. Preferably in Boston, in July."
With the highest of regards,
Aspiring Laravel Artisan
P.S. There will be a dodgeball tournament. This is not relevant to the business case.
