Dear Manager,

I am writing this letter to request you to give me some time off because of my personal reasons. My name is Janvi.

I am constantly working here from last one year, and I never asked for any holidays. However, I will marry in next month hence I would go to India for my special day. Because of this, I want some days off.

My marriage functions would be taking 4 days. However, I also need two weeks for shopping and doing arrangements for the wedding, so in total, I need 25 days off.

I know this would be hard for you to manage my work, but Olivia has three months’ vacation, and she has agreed to cover my hours for my position in PC Express.

I hope you understand me and accept my request for time off.

Yours faithfully,

Janvi
