The Boss Prompt™

[BossName] = ""
[CurrentProjectName] = ""
[MyName] = ""

Write a short and natural-sounding email I can send to my boss [BossName] to ask if I can attend Swift Island, a small iOS/macOS developer conference on Texel. Use my tone of voice — clear, human, and not overly formal.

Apply Robert Cialdini’s persuasion principles subtly (especially scarcity, authority, reciprocity, and consistency), but avoid anything salesy or robotic.

Include the following points:
- It’s limited to 60 attendees and offers direct access to senior developers and top-tier mentors
- Focus is on Swift and SwiftUI
- Topics align directly with what we’re working on in [CurrentProjectName]
- I’ll share insights in an internal presentation for the whole team
- Tickets are under €2,000 and all-inclusive (conference, food, and stay)
- Spots sell out fast, so I’m checking early if it fits into our learning & developement budget

End the email with: “Let me know what you think.”
