You would like to request time off from work for a family function. Write a letter to your manager. In your letter: Give details of the event Explain why you need time off Suggest how your work could be managed during your absence

Dear Sir, I hope you are doing well. I am writing to request some time off from work on May 28, because I need to attend a family function. My parents will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary on May 29. On that occasion, my brother and I planned a party for them. The event will take place in the morning, and I need to finalise a few designs and the menu with the catering team on May 28 at noon time around 4 PM. I need time off for 4 hours on that day, which means I'll leave the office at 1 PM and will go straight to the catering office, to finalise some important arrangements. Meanwhile, I have already talked with John to have a closer look at my support inbox, in case any high-priority ticket gets raised. He agreed to take care of that. Thanks for understanding my concern. Sincerely, Mohit
