Dear the Manager,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing this letter to request about asking some time off from work due to my personal reasons.

I bought a new house. So, I must move to new house this week. My new house is 20 km far from my old house. I have a lot of things and home furnitures. Therefore, my moving might take a lot of time.

I think I need only five days for moving and arranging the furnitures. For this reason, I would like to request leave from April 15 to April 20.

I promise you, I will do all of my work and responsibilities during this time. I am very responsible person. So, you can completly believe me.

I look forward to your reply!

Yours sincerely,

Melissa Mitchell.
