you work for a large corporation. You want to apply for one month's leave owing to illness. Write to your manager requesting leave for the same. In your letter • introduce yourself • describe about your illness • inform the manager how you intend to manage your job assignment in your absence

Dear Sir/Maam, I'm Angelica Smith, I've been working in your company for almost 5 years now, in the position of Senior Sales Accountant. I'm writing

this

letter to make a formal request that you allow me to have a one-month leave in order for me to treat my illness that concern my left

eye

. For a couple of weeks, I've been feeling pain in my

eye

, whenever I feel stressed or tired from work. Somehow, it subside if I drank medicine for pain, but recently, the pain was unbearable. I went to the hospital 3 days ago, and the doctor says that I have a cataract on my left

eye

, and it needs to get treated immediately. The treatment will take three weeks and one week of rest for my

eye

to be fully healed. Rest assured that during my absence, I'll still get updated on my work. I asked my junior staff to keep me informed if there is work that they don't know about and send it to my e-mail. Most of the major papers for the month we're already finished, for I don't want it to be a problem for the company in the future. If there are problems that need my help, I can be reachable on my cellphone anytime. I'm hoping that you'll take into consideration of my request. Yours truly, Angelica
