CyberLink Wants to Help You Convince Your Boss to Work from Home this Fourth of July Week
This year’s Fourth of July falls on a Wednesday, throwing a wrench into every office worker’s vacation plans around Independence Day. Without the weekend buffer, it’s hard to celebrate the holiday with friends and family the way our founding fathers would want.
Now through July 6th, CyberLink is letting anyone download a free 3 month PRO account for U, enabling you to stay in touch with co-workers in real-time—turning any patio or backyard swimming pool into your remote office.
We know some bosses can be sticklers, so we’re here to help you make the case to work from home next week.
FIRST, EMAIL YOUR BOSS
Hey [BOSS],
I wanted to get in touch about the Fourth of July this year.
As you, and nearly every other office worker, know, the Fourth of July this year falls on a Wednesday, putting some of us in a difficult situation when factoring in travel time to spend the holiday with friends and family. It’s even more difficult when you factor in that I am out of vacation days.
As such, I kindly, and humbly, ask for your permission to work remote during that week.
In fact, I just found out that award-winning software developer CyberLink is making their remote collaboration platform U completely free this week. Anyone can use it to hold remote meetings and it doesn’t even require other users to download and install the program—it’s super simple and will give me all of the tools I need to get the job done. It’s also well reviewed by the press.
Let me know any problems! My username on U is my email. Thanks [BOSS]!
[YOU]
Good morning [BOSS],
Next week is the Fourth of July holiday, which is on a Wednesday this year, and I wanted to speak to you about the possibility of working from home that week to accommodate travel so I may spend it with my friends and family this year.
Pending your approval, I’d like to work remotely on [DAYS]. I will of course hold usual office hours, and I’ll be fully accessible across email and my cellphone. Additionally, I’ve just come across an exciting promotion to make working from home this week even more seamless:https://www.cyberlink.com/event/workfromhome.
Looks like award-winning software developer CyberLink is making their remote collaboration platform U completely free this week. It’s perfect for holding lag-free video conferences, and for others to join a video meeting with me they don’t even need to download and install the program, it operates directly in the browser. It’s also well reviewed in the press.
Thank you for your consideration, please let me know your thoughts at your convenience.

Hey [BOSS],
Wanted to shoot you a quick note about the 4th of July this year. For life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, I’m wondering how you’d feel about letting me work from home that week given the holiday is on a Wednesday this year.
I’m out of vacation days, and since this year’s Independence Day is in the middle of the week with no weekend buffer, it means I simply won’t be able to travel back home and spend the holiday with my family. I’d be forever in your debt.
To help make this approval a little easier for you, I just discovered something incredible. Award-winning software developer CyberLink is making their remote collaboration platform U completely free this week for three months!!! Of course you can reach me by email and my cell, but if anyone needs to do a quick video meeting, I can set it up with U and literally no one else needs to download and install the product to join. It works in the browser and this promotion even includes a virtual beautifier for the video meetings.
What do you think? Let me know—thanks [BOSS]!
