Dear [Supervisor's Name], I am writing to formally request an extension on my leave of absence from [Company/Organization] in order to address personal matters in Puerto Rico. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and I assure you that I am dedicated to fulfilling my responsibilities upon my return. As you may know, Puerto Rico is a captivating island located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea. It is an unincorporated territory of the United States, known for its rich culture, beautiful landscapes, and vibrant communities. However, recent events such as the devastating Hurricane Maria and the ongoing economic challenges have necessitated my prolonged stay to attend to pressing matters. During this extended absence, I will strive to maintain open lines of communication and carry out any necessary tasks remotely to the best of my abilities. Despite the physical distance, I am committed to ensuring my work remains up to standards and fulfilling any outstanding commitments or deadlines. I will be accessible via email and phone during regular working hours and will diligently respond to any inquiries or urgent matters that may arise. I understand that granting an extension on my leave of absence may require adjustments in team scheduling and workload distribution. To assist in minimizing any potential disruptions, I am willing to assist in finding temporary arrangements or collaborating with colleagues to delegate my responsibilities effectively. If needed, please let me know in advance, and I will be more than willing to offer my guidance and support throughout the transition period. It is vital for me to stress that the additional time in Puerto Rico is crucial for me to successfully fulfill my personal obligations and ensure my long-term commitment to the company. I genuinely appreciate your understanding and support regarding this matter. I genuinely believe that this extension will allow me to handle the necessary affairs in Puerto Rico comprehensively and return with an unwavering focus on my work. Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience caused and express my gratitude for considering my request. I kindly request your approval for the extension of my leave of absence, from [original return date] to [proposed new return date]. I assure you that I will provide all the necessary documentation and updates required during my extended absence. Thank you for your attention and consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Position]
