Therefore

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
Linking Words
,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.
