A Sample Employee Leave Application Letter John Wright November 05, 2009 Ellen Jones Dear Ms. Jones: This application is written to request you a leave of absence for about three weeks. My leave would start from November 10, 2009. My wife has been diagnosed with a fibroid, which needs to be surgically removed. I have to be with her during the surgery and the recovery period. The doctors have advised her three weeks of bed rest. As my wife's parents are old they cannot manage to come from Chicago. So, obviously I'm the one who has responsibilities on my shoulders. I will have to take care of my wife, children and home Therefore, I request you to grant me a leave of three weeks starting November 10. I will be joining the office on December 2, 2009. I will be available on phone and internet. If there is any concern, you can contact me. I will manage to complete the work if it's urgent. Yours sincerely
