Subject: Request for Extension on Leave of Absence Dear [Supervisor/Manager's name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request an extension on my current leave of absence from [Company/Organization]. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am unable to resume my duties as planned on [original return date]. I apologize for any inconveniences this may cause, and I highly appreciate your understanding and support throughout this challenging time. As per my previous communication, I had taken leave as recommended by my healthcare provider for medical reasons. However, my doctors have advised me that my current condition requires further care and recovery, and therefore, I am seeking an extension of [number of days/weeks/months] on my leave. During my absence, I have been closely following all the necessary medical treatments and following the established rehabilitation plan to ensure my full recovery. Unfortunately, I am experiencing slower progress than initially expected, and it is crucial that I prioritize my health and well-being before returning to work. I fully understand the potential impact that my extended leave may have on the department's operations and my colleagues. To minimize any disruption, I have taken the liberty of creating a comprehensive handover document that outlines the status of all ongoing projects, pending tasks, and any other pertinent information required for a smooth transition during my absence. I am also willing to provide remote assistance, if feasible, when needed. I hope these measures will help mitigate the impact of my extended absence. Please note that my intention is to return to work as soon as I am medically cleared by my healthcare provider. Upon obtaining clearance, I will promptly notify you and provide an updated return date. I assure you that I remain dedicated to my responsibilities and will actively communicate with both my team and yourself during my leave to stay updated on any developments. I kindly request your understanding and approval of this extension request. Your support during my journey to regain good health means a lot to me, and I will continue to be committed to my role at [Company/Organization] once I am able to resume work. Thank you for considering my request for an extension on my leave of absence. Please let me know if there are any further steps or documentation required as per company policies. I look forward to your prompt response. Warm regards, [Your Name] [Employee ID/Designation] [Department] [Contact Information: Phone Number, Email Address]
