Subject: Application for long leave.
Dear Merverna,
I am writing this letter to inform that my wife is pregnant and the doctor says the tentative due date is around 28th November 2008. Since we stay alone here in NY, there is no one to look after her and I wish to stay with her till she gives birth, as this is our first baby.
At present, I was working on the reports of two companies, and I have assigned the work to my colleague Sara, who is also a part of the team. I am sure that she can manage the work and there will not be any problems.
With this, I request you to kindly grant me leave for four weeks starting from 18th November. Make this leave as an informed leave and kindly respond as soon as possible.
Thanks and regards,
Sincerely,
Adriene S. Garner
