  I am writing this letter to formally request a one-week vacation leave starting April 15, 2014 to April 23, 2014.
  
  I haven’t taken any leaves since the start of this year and since we have a big project coming up in May, I would like to avail some of my annual leaves before we all get really busy.

  I will be wrapping up all my tasks and make sure that there are no pending assignments on my desk before I leave for the vacation.
  
  I hope you will consider my request favorably and grant me leave for the requested duration.
  
  Please feel free to seek any further details.
  
  Yours Sincerely,

  Dear Mr. Smith,
  
  This letter is to formally request time off for a vacation. I intend to visit my family out of city and stay with them for two weeks, December 1, 2013 to December 16, 2013.
  
  Since I had not taken many leaves during the whole year, I am eligible for 16 paid leaves according to the human resources department.
• 7

  Work on all my projects is nearly completed and my team members are more than capable of handling the remaining work during my absence.
  
   
  
  However, I will still be reachable in case my assistance is urgently required and am going to leave my contact number and personal e-mail with my colleagues and the HR.
  
  I will be happy to provide any additional details if required.
  
  Looking forward to a favorable response,
  
  Sincerely yours,
  Danah Richardson
