Dear [Manager’s Name],

I hope you are doing well. I am writing to request a few days off for a short vacation. I would like to take leave from Monday, September 2nd to Friday, September 6th. I will return to work on Monday, September 9th.

The reason for this vacation is that I will have a graduate celebration from my college next month, and I think I should have a short break for preparing everything and I also plan to visit my family in Sydney and spend some time with them.

Before I leave, I will make sure all my work is up to date. I will also talk to [a colleague’s name] and ask them to help cover any urgent tasks while I am away. I will leave clear instructions and be available by phone in case anything important comes up.

Thank you for considering my request. Please let me know if you need any more information.

Best regards,

Lisa
