You work for a small company. You need to arrange for some time off work. Write a letter to your employer. In your letter • explain why you want to take time off work • give details of how long you will be away • suggest how you will make up for the lost time

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing
this
letter to request you to give me a short leave from work
due to
my family issues.
Firstly
,I would like to inform you with a lot of sadness that yesterday my seven years old daughter Jenifar fell down on the staircase
while
playing in the backyard and broke her right leg.
However
, Immediately my wife took her to the nearest hospital and the doctor sent her to the operation theatre for an emergency surgical operation.
Although
now she is out of danger later,they advised us to keep her in the clinic for at least one week until she
finally
recovered.
Therefore
,I can not come to work tomorrow and need to stay in the clinic with my daughter next few days until my other relatives are replacing me. To inform you,I will be away for three days to stay in the clinic and
then
my younger brother-in-law will come and relieve me. I would like to promise you that I will compensate those time by doing more shifts from evening to midnight after I return.
Finally
,I hope and believe you will consider my situation and grant me leave for three days. Yours faithfully, Abdullah

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.
