Dear Sir,
I am an employee of your company's technical support department, and, I have been working in your company for ten years in the same company,
last
month, my manager promoted me to Team leader.
I writing this
letter to take time off for two
months because My mother has brain cancer and she has been admitted to the hospital for her surgery. Doctors diagnosed this
symptom two
days ago and advised her to get treatment as soon as possible.
The treatment will be started by tomorrow and my sister will take care of my mom until she gets discharged from the hospital. After ten days, I will need to be at home, because, she needs bed rest for two
months and I will need to take care of her for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and medicines. So, I need time off from this
10th of August.
I understand it is not easy for you to pile up the office work for the next two
months, however
, I requested one of my colleagues to take full responsibility for clients and I will give him training for the next ten days. Lastly
, you will not need to worry about my Technical support department.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
yours faithfully

coherence cohesion
While the letter does cover all the necessary points, the structure can be improved for greater clarity. Make sure each paragraph has a single idea and use transitions between them for a smoother flow.
coherence cohesion
There are a few grammatical errors and awkward phrases. For example, 'after ten days, I will need to be at home, because, she needs bed rest for two months.' This could be clearer as 'After ten days, she will need bed rest for two months, during which I will have to care for her.'

Ensure that all important details about the timing are clear. Although the date '10th of August' is mentioned, specifying the exact duration until your return would be helpful for your employer.
