unpaid leave for two weeks. Unfortunately, my sister had a car crash in Thailand and she needs a kidney donor and since I am her closest relative I might be the only one who could save her. I would like to fly out as soon as possible, as her condition is getting worse very fast according to doctor Liu's phone call. I have already booked the

first

available flight to Asia and the return tickets as well.

Therefore

, the exact period of time of my absence would be two weeks starting from the 21st of January. I will arrive back in the UK in the early morning of the 7th of February and I would be able to start working the same day. Since my colleagues Mr White and Mr Black both have a full overview of my duties, they could very well do my work during the abovementioned weeks.

However

, I could be contacted should anything urgent arise. Please consider

this

extreme situation I am facing at the moment and allow me to have

this

time off work. Yours sincerely, Jane Stafford
