Engagement Leave Letter

Getting engaged is a big event in any culture. The engagement it self might be a private affair, but it still warrants the presence of your close friends and family and a small celebration. If you are getting engaged in the coming future, you will need to apply for a leave from work so that you can prepare for the big day without any hassle.

Here we will show you how to write an engagement leave letter and will also provide you with samples and a template that you can refer to when writing your own custom leave letter.

Tips for Writing an Engagement Leave Letter

Clearly mention the date of engagement and the dates you will be taking off on.
You don’t necessarily have to give a detailed reason if its your own engagement.
Make sure you name someone to cover for you while you are gone.

Sample of an Engagement Leave Letter #1

To:
William Allen
Head of Marketing
ABC Advertising company
123 Commercial Lane
London, UK

From:

Brian White
Marketing executive

Date: July 5, 2011

Dear Mr. Allen,

As I told you earlier, me and my partner have decided to get engaged and I will be throwing an engagement party to celebrate with my family and friends on July 21. Hence, I will require 2 days off on July 19 and July 20 to prepare and organize the event.

I have a couple of leaves remaining in my yearly balance, and would like to utilize them for this engagement leave. I will be gone only 2 days and do not have any urgent tasks in the office that need immediate attention. However, if there are any questions, I can be reached on my cell phone.

Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Regards,
