Subject: Reimbursement Request for a Subscription to The CP Journal
Hi [Manager’s Name],
I'd love to expense a subscription to The CP Journal. It provides weekly intelligence reports and training resources focused on threat awareness, decision-making, and organizational preparedness — all directly relevant to my role.
As a paid subscriber, I’d get access to the weekly Watch Office reports, training programs, and planning tools to improve how we anticipate, prevent, and respond to emerging risks.
The subscription is $200 per year (or discounted for groups), and I believe even one insight or idea could significantly improve our readiness and response. It’s a small investment with a high potential return.
Let me know if that’s something we can expense.
Thanks,
[Your Name]
How do I start receiving Watch Office emails?
✅After you become a paying subscriber, make sure you're set up to actually receive the reports you care about each Wednesday.
To do that:
Go to your Substack account settings.
Scroll to the Notifications section.
Toggle on the reports you'd like to receive (U.S. National, Denver, Chicago, Colorado Springs, etc.).
Here’s what it looks like:
This extra step ensures the right reports land in your inbox.
