Dear Sir,
My name is XYZ and I have been working as a Nurse in your hospital since the last two years in the Pediatrics ward. I am writing to ask for your permission as I need some time off work.
I have been working in the morning shift from 8am to 4pm for the past six months. Actually, it’s my brother’s wedding next month so I need some days off work in order to assist my family in the marriage preparations. I am the only daughter in the family hence they need my help for shopping and making several other arrangements. The wedding has been fixed for the 25th of October and we hardly have any time left and there is loads of work left for us to do.
As per the hospital’s policy, I am applying for the leave one month in advance. I request you to kindly grant me a leave of 15 days from 14th October to 28th October 2020. I need two weeks off as all the functions such as engagement, DJ night, wedding as well as reception are to be held within these dates.
There are 5 more nurses who are my colleagues in the Pediatrics ward and we always make up and cover the duties for each other, in case if someone among us takes leave. Due to this mutual understanding of ours, I am sure they will manage to fulfill the duties assigned to me as I did for them whenever any of them was on leave. Moreover, I will keep in touch with them through phone if they need to contact me.
Looking forward to a positive revert.
Yours faithfully,
XYZ
