Student Leave Letter

Depending on the grade, student leave letters are either written by parents, on behalf of their children, or by students themselves, if they are old enough. Assuming you fall in the latter category, we will show you how to write a student leave letter. We have also given samples and a template for your own use.

21 Education Ave., London, United Kingdom

April 1, 201

Subject: Leave Request

Dear Mr. Macguire,

I am enrolled in the Business program at the London College for Boys and my Roll number is 12345. Due to my sister’s wedding on the 5th of April, I will not be able to attend classes from April 4 to April 7, 2010.

I would like to request a leave during this time. I have discussed the matter with Mr. Rudolph Gerald and he has given me a positive response. I will also make sure that I am up to date with all the missed work on my return.

I would like to thank you in advance for your understanding.
