Dear Mr Abinva, I am writing
this
Linking Words
letter to formally request leave for 3 days to facilitate the relocation of my family to the city in the month of December 2024. As you are aware, I was transferred to the Delhi office three months ago from my previous base location in Mumbai.
Due to
Linking Words
its urgency, my family remained back because my children were already enrolled in the school there.
However
Linking Words
, I have now made all the necessary arrangements near our office and
hence
Linking Words
planning to move them here. Unfortunately, I am unable to reschedule my leave, as the school has specified fixed working dates for the admission process, and I must be present during
this
Linking Words
period.
For
Linking Words
this
Linking Words
reason, I will be requiring 3days off from work for a smooth transition of my family. I am requesting leave from 1st December to 3rd December. I assure you that my leave will not impact project deliverables. I have already conducted sessions with other two colleagues Tom and Dick so that they can handle the tasks assigned to me during my absence.
Additionally
Linking Words
, I will remain reachable through all official communication channels
as well as
Linking Words
my personal mobile number which has been already shared with team members. I am
also
Linking Words
planning to schedule daily meetings with them during
this
Linking Words
duration for the status reports of the project. I would appreciate your approval of
this
Linking Words
request. Please let me know if any
further
Linking Words
clarification is required. Yours sincerely, Rubina
