Dear _________,
Answer –
Dear Mr. Williams,
I am writing to request you to sanction some holidays for me.
I need some days off from work because of my younger brother’s wedding. Since I am his elder brother and only sibling, my presence is a must in all the rituals and ceremonies. Also, my parents will be busy with relatives’ hospitality, so there will be many responsibilities on my shoulders. For example, I have to take care of the preparations, shopping, palace booking, and catering.
I need two weeks to fulfil my duties and attend the marriage, so I request you to grant me leave for the same period, beginning from 20th October, the day after tomorrow, to 2nd November. The marriage is on 2nd November; hence, I will join the office on 3rd November and resume my regular duties.
To ensure my work does not suffer at all, l have already organised and scheduled my tasks for the next fortnight and explained everything to my team. In my absence, James will handle all the operations, and I will be in touch with him via email and phone if the need ever arises.
I would appreciate it if you grace the occasion with your presence.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Christian Bale
