Dear Mr Smith, I am writing
this
letter to inform you that I am required to take leave from my work for more than one month. It is urgent for me as my father has been admitted to the hospital for his critical condition. The main reason is that my father has been suffering from cardiomyopathy and he had cardiac arrest
last
day. There is no one to take care of him.
Moreover
, I am responsible for his medicines and other activities
such
as buying groceries. Even though these days are critical for me, I will keep myself updated with all the office information. I would contact one of the employees every day for our upcoming project that needs to be worked on. As
this
requires to be completed within a week, I will assist my team online.
Due to
my absence for a long time, my friend Rohit could join you during
this
period as he possesses the experience and qualifications
this
company needs.
Additionally
, he was an old employee who had worked for over 10 years. I would be most grateful if you could understand my issue. I will return to work as soon as possible after getting home. Thank you for your consideration, Yours faithfully, Parjit Kaur
