Dear Sir,
I, Nakul Nair, am currently working in the SDE 2 role at the NYC office. I am writing
this
letter to request time off for the entire week of September 1st to attend my sister's wedding in Mumbai, India.
My sister will be having a traditional Hindu wedding which will be a few days long and includes various pre-wedding ceremonies, a wedding ceremony and a reception. Per our customs and traditions, the sister's older brother has to be present at all these ceremonies. The requested time off period also
accounts for the round-trip flights from New York to Mumbai which are 22 hours long each way.
During this
trip, I will have access to my work computer through a VPN to address any work-related emergencies. Further
, I have already informed my manager and team members about my expected absence from work the entire week of September 1st and how they can reach me if the need arises. They assured me that they would cover for me and would debrief me on all the work I had missed as soon as I got back. Additionally
, I assure you that I will promptly make up for any tasks I have missed within the set deadlines.
Please let me know if you need to discuss this
further
.
Thank you for your time and looking forward to your prompt response.
Yours faithfully,
NakulSubmitted by nakuleshj1998 on
