Writing a leave letter to an employer is a very simple and straightforward task. It is necessary to keep the letter short and concise while stating the reason in clear terms. The tone of the letter should be formal and not casual.

In the body of the letter you should mention the exact number of days you want to be absent from work, with dates. You should be able to give the exact date of resuming work, so that the employer is clear. Reason for the leave should be stated in clear terms and it should be a valid reason.

You could also add details of all the projects that you are handling at present and the status of the same. This will give a clear idea to the employer about your work schedule and of any important deadlines. You could also state that you have handed over the projects to your colleague.

You end the letter by thanking them for considering the application and also by giving your contact numbers, if possible, for the leave period. This will help them contact you in case of emergency.

Dear Mr Flint,

I, Mr Draco, the junior manager for the finance department of the Wellington Finance Ltd, am writing this letter in order to express my gratitude for the approval of the application for a holiday leave put forward by me. The holiday has been required by me for a long time and I was reluctant to mention it before any time. However, the instant approval of the application of holiday leaves by you has emphasised the fact that the firm cares for other priorities of its employees.

I assure you that there shall be no loss on the work front from my side and I shall resume my work at the instant I am back in the city. I wish to take this opportunity to elucidate the fact that the pending work shall be cleared at the earliest. Thanking you for the approval of the leave application put forward by me,

Yours sincerely,

Mr Draco

Dear Mr Stevenson,

This letter has been drafted with extreme desperation and I hope that this letter serves the purpose of soothing this desperation. In the recent times, my domestic front has been on turmoil and this has started affecting my professional front. I have been denied the concentration to the task in hand since my attention keeps visiting the domestic front.  After realising that my work is getting affected in a negative way, I preferred conveying my dilemma to you and I am hopeful that you shall help me get over this situation of mine.

I have found a solution for which I need to take a leave from my work for a period of one week and hence this leave application comes into existence. The leave shall help me a great deal in overcoming the domestic disturbance and I shall be back with complete vigour for my assignments. Hoping for a favourable response,

Yours faithfully,

Mr Pettigrew

Dear Mr Jackson,

I, Ronald Wesley, am writing this application for leave on account of the suffering which I am facing on my health front. I have bite more than I can chew in the recent times. The studies for the second year have been more intrigue and it is requiring more effort and time to be dedicated for my studies. While on the other hand, my commitments on the sports front have got my schedule completely in mess. This has taken a toll on my health and I have got completely bed ridden. I, hereby, apply for a sick leave so that I can get back on track with my studies and other extracurricular activities.

I assure you that I shall try to get in the pink of my health as early as possible and shall cover all that I have missed in the meanwhile. I am hopeful for the leave being granted.

Yours obediently,

Ronald Wesley

Dear Sir,

I, Suzanna Rosewood, am writing this letter to convey an application for leave. The recent times have brought my health below the necessary level and I am suffering through repeated fever and cough. I have not been allowed to concentrate on my studies because of this unhealthy condition. The behaviour has been getting edgy and irritating; and I am losing my grip on my concentration. Besides proper medication, doctors have prescribed a rest period and hence it is for this reason that I am applying for sick leave.

I assure you that I shall be completing all my pending work as soon as my health gets rejuvenated. Sound health shall help me get better concentration and shall help in escalating my productivity on the educational front. I do not wish to blame my studies to have taken a toll on me and I will look after my health to avoid further deterioration.

Yours obediently,

Suzanna Rosewood

My commitments for the time being have been fulfilled and the details shall be furnished whenever asked. I wish to take this opportunity to make you aware of the fact that I am willing to put in some efforts on my work from home. Thanking you in anticipation,

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr. Dharwat,

This is to request for an emergency leave for two days starting tomorrow.  My mother met an unfortunate accident yesterday and she is currently confined at the local hospital.  She needs to undergo an important operation tomorrow and I need to stay with her at the hospital to make sure that all goes well.  It is very important for her that all her children be at her bedside during this operation.  I know that I will not be able to concentrate on my work if I report to work on the day so it is better that I file a leave, too.

I have already informed my staff about the matter and have already given them instructions about the work that must be done in the two days that I am gone.  My assistant will replace me during my absence as is her responsibility.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Ms. Gajna Gorawala

Dear Mr. Gorantla,

I write this letter to request for a medical leave on August 5 since I will be having my regular full check-up.  I have been experiencing persistent back pains and headaches in the past two months and I have been advised by my doctor to have a general check-up to find out what is causing the pains.  I have not had such persistent pains before and he is concerned.  I have attached with this letter the recommendation signed by my doctor for your reference.

I will make it a point that I will not have my leave without finishing my work for the month.  I have already talked to my colleagues to inform them of my leave request and they have agreed to take additional tasks on the said date to augment for my absence.

Thank you and I hope for your positive response.

Respectfully,

Dear Ms. Gopinath,

I hereby request a leave of absence on November 10 since I will be sending-off my wife who will be going abroad for two years.  She will be taking graduate studies abroad and I will be going to the airport with our children to see her off.  I know that this is a personal reason but I hope that I know that I am allowed to have a leave of absence based on my contract with the company.

I have already informed my superior about my request for a leave of absence and he sees no problem with our work or schedules in November.  Rest assured that I will ensure my work will not be affected by the leave of absence and that I will finish the tasks assigned to me.  I will be working overtime prior to the said date to get my work done on time.

Thank you and I hope for your approval.

Respectfully,

Mr. Rithul Darsha

Dear Daisy,

My ward, Ben olive, of 5^th standard, studying in your school, bearing the roll number 16708037 could not attend the classes from 6^th July to 21 July 2010, as he was suffering from fever and chicken pox. My family doctor has advised him for bed rest. Though the temperature has subsided, I didn’t send him to school as chicken pox is a communicable disease and there is always the fear of its spread. My son was under the medical supervision of my family doctor, Dr. Edward, who assures his good health now. He completed the medical course of vaccines prescribed by the doctor.

This letter is to request you to kindly grant him medical leave for 15 days. Attached with this letter is the medical certificate issued by the doctor.

Thanking you.

Yours Sincerely,

Richard Olive,

Father of Ben Olive.
