  As you know, my family from Mexico is visiting me this month and the festival is one of the few chances I get to spend time with them while they are in the city.
  
  I will complete the Department of Defense proposal before I head out on my break. If there are any questions, I can be reached on my cell phone.

  If you approve my leave, I will be back to work from May 7.

  RE: Diwali Leave
  
  Respected Sir,
  
  I would like to request 1 week off to attend the Diwali festival taking place in Chicago. As I mentioned to you earlier today, the festival is an important event in our religious calendar and it would mean a lot for me to spend that time with my family.
  
  If approved, I will be on leave from October 20 to October 27.

  In my absence I recommend that Steven Myers be assigned the task of performance reviews. I have spoken with him about the remaining employees that still need appraisals. He can contact me during office hours on my cell phone or by email.
