Dear Mr John,
I am writing to formally request a leave of absence from work for six weeks, starting from December 25th.
The reason for the request is too personal. My immediate family member, my mother is diagnosed with a serious medical condition and my family needs my immediate support during
this
critical situation. However
, I understand that I am currently working on projects that are imperative. I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition during my absence.
I will delegate all the activities that I am currently working on to a capable team member who will continue my responsibilities, while
I am away from work. In addition
, I will be checking emails regularly and be available to answer phone calls at any time to address any queries or issues with the project. Furthermore
, I will ensure that I will document all the project-related tasks and activities that I have completed so far with detailed notes before I hand it
over to our team.
I hope you can understand my situation and I am committing to join back on February 1st to take over my responsibilities. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
