You work for an international company and need to take some time off work to celebrate a family event. Write a letter to your manager. In your letter ● give details of the family event and why it is important you attend ● say how much time you will need away from the office ● suggest how your work could be covered while you are away

Dear Sir, I'm writing
this
letter to make a humble request which takes some time off my work. I have a celebration of my family get-together.
This
event is humungous for me because of my elder brother's arrival home after 5 years of an overseas job. Since I'm a dedicated worker in
this
company for more than five years, I know how tough to release one member from the team in order to move on with a heavy workload. I have a better solution for
this
as well. Since the party lasts for consecutive five days, I require a leave of one week. I have to put two days aside to travel and to comfort myself. Hope
this
is not that long for you. Overcoming
this
scenario, I suggest working from home when it is necessary. I have my laptop with me
as well as
all company files.
Consequently
, the workload will be softened.
Moreover
, I'll work an additional one hour a week to cover any shortcomings. Yours Faithfully, Vishva.
