Dear Ms. Wilson, I am writing to request approval for three days of annual leave from 15th to 17th September.
My cousin is getting married in Calgary next month. As a close family member, I am expected to attend the wedding celebrations, which will take place over two days.
Since I also need time to travel, I will be away from work for three working days.
This is an important family occasion, and I sincerely hope you will understand my request. To ensure minimal disruption to the team's workflow, I will complete all my outstanding tasks and submit the monthly sales report ahead of schedule. My colleague, Emily, has kindly agreed to cover my responsibilities, and I will provide her with a detailed handover to ensure a smooth transition. If necessary, I will remain available by email to respond to any urgent matters requiring my attention. I would be grateful if you could approve my annual leave request. If these dates are likely to affect the team's schedule, I would be happy to discuss an alternative arrangement. Could you please let me know if my request can be approved? Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
John Smith
