Dear Ms. Snyder,
I am writing
this
letter request to you to provide me with some days off from work. Firstly
, it has been a long time since I could not get off from my hectic office work and, I feel, it leads me towards depression or stress. More than that, I have already made some plans with my family for outings this
summer.
Moreover
, I am not pretty much sure about the dates and times but still, my preference would a July month. The reason behind this
is, that the days are long enough and children have their summer vacations.
Furthermore
, I would like to inform you that I have told my colleague to see my work during my absence. The projects which I was going to complete in that time will be handled by her completely and, she would be responsible for that.
I hope you will agree with my given point and, reply to me as soon as possible.
I am looking forward to getting your response.
Yours faithfully,

Clarity and Specificity
Ensure clarity when expressing dates and times for your absence. Providing exact dates rather than 'July month' makes your request more concrete and easier for your manager to accommodate.
Task Response and Detail
While your letter conveys your intentions clearly, expanding on how your workload will be managed by your colleague can enhance the reader's understanding and reassurance. Mentioning specific projects and how they will be handled can add depth to your preparation description.
Coherence and Cohesion
To improve coherence and cohesion, linking words and phrases can be used more effectively to create smoother transitions between ideas. Additionally, maintaining a consistent tense throughout the letter helps in achieving better coherence.
Language and Tone
Reviewing the letter for minor grammatical mistakes and ensuring the use of formal language appropriate for a letter to a manager can further polish your writing and make the tone more suitable.
