You work in an international company. You need to take some time off work. Write a letter to your employer. In your letter - explain why you need this time off - give details of when you want this time off - say who can do your work when you are away.

Dear Mr Stuart, I hope
this
letter finds you in good health. I am writing
this
letter to request the approval of the ten-day annual leave submission from
last
Friday. I have been continuously working without taking any vacation since the
first
wave of covid period till now which has been almost two years. Meantime, I would like to take a rest with my family on a Ngapali beach for at least three to four days as well as to give more family time without any work-related stress along with away from office applications
such
as Ms
Team
, Ms Outlook. I have been terribly busy in these years plus heavy workloads and my body alerts me that I do need to consider a vacation.
On the other hand
, I have managed by using a coaching system to my
team
together with delegation and decentralization for most of the tasks, all of my
team
members can perform independently on daily routines.
In addition
to that, Susan will be the point of contact and lead the
team
as she is my best assistant ever.
Nevertheless
, I have full confidence in my
team
that they can work smoothly during my absence days. Looking forward to hearing from you for approval. Yours sincerely, Honey Linn

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
