Dear Mr Jason,

I hope this letter finds you in good health. My name is Minty. I am writing to formally request a leave for absence from work for over one month, starting from the first of next month.

As you know, because of the distance, I have not visited my family for 3 years. I am going to meet all my relatives, travel with my family and the significant part of the holidays will be attending my brother’s wedding at the end of the month.

Although I will be absent from the workplace, I will be continuing to follow tasks and deadlines as usual. I could organise to work from home to ensure everything will be finished. I will be available to answer the phone or respond to email to keep things running smoothly. Additionally, I suggest Macy, who handles critical situations.

I look forward to receiving a prompt reply!

Your sincerely

Minty Hoang
