Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter requesting some time off from my job in the next month.

I have my sister’s wedding coming next month for which I have to be present. I have saved my holidays for this occassion. I know we are a small group of employees which work for the company, but I would not have asked for it, if the matter was not important. I will be travelling to my home country in the next month for 15 days from 4th April to 19th April. She is my only sister in the family, so it would be very important for me to attend her wedding and be with her.

I will be avilable on the phone and will have an eye on the emails every now and then. On my arrival, I will work very closely with my team and try to finish all my pending tasks as quickly as I can.

I hope you understand the situation and grant me this time off.

Thank you in advance.

Yours Sincerely,

Harsh Dhandukiya
