Subject: Request for Leave of Absence — [Employee's Name] Dear [Supervisor's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to formally request a leave of absence from [start date] to [end date], as I have personal matters that require my immediate attention. During this time, I will not be able to carry out my regular job responsibilities. I have carefully considered the impact of my absence on the team's workflow and have taken proactive steps to ensure a smooth transition. I have discussed this matter with my colleagues and made a thorough plan to delegate my projects and tasks to them. Moreover, I am willing to provide any necessary guidance or preparation to ensure the continuity of work during my absence. The reason for my leave is a family emergency. Unfortunately, one of my close family members has fallen seriously ill and requires constant care and support. As such, I must dedicate my undivided attention to be there for them during this challenging time. I believe that my presence and assistance will greatly contribute to their recovery. I understand the impact that my absence may have on the team and the organization. Rest assured, I am committed to minimizing any disruptions and ensuring a smooth operation during my absence. I have complete confidence in the competence of my colleagues to handle any unforeseen circumstances that may arise. In light of this situation, I kindly request your approval for my leave of absence. I will be more than happy to submit any necessary documentation, such as medical certificates or any other required evidence, to support my request. Please let me know if there are any specific procedures or forms I need to complete. I will be checking my email periodically during my absence and, if necessary, I can be reached via phone ([provide contact number]) or email ([provide alternative email address]). If any urgent matters arise or require my immediate attention, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your understanding and support during this difficult time. Your approval of my leave would provide tremendous relief and enable me to be there for my family when they need me the most. I have always been dedicated to my work, and I assure you that I will return with renewed energy and commitment to fulfill my responsibilities promptly. Once my leave is approved, I will make every effort to ensure a seamless transition and will provide the necessary details to my colleagues to facilitate a smooth workflow during my absence. I will be eagerly looking forward to my return to the team. Thank you once again for your understanding and consideration. Your support means a lot to me, and I am confident that, together, we can manage this challenging situation effectively. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Employee ID/Department] [Company Name]
