====================================================================

Dear Mr. Smith,

I would like to apply for some time off from the work in next month, as you know my elder brother is getting married.

These days my brother is staying in Sydney Australia. He is getting married with Australian based Nepali women, who worked together. So they have asked us to come over there for their wedding celebration.

As per his marriage ceremony plan, I need at least 2 weeks of holiday. It includes the arrival and departure time as well. During these days, our plan includes first engagement party then shopping for wedding and one day for wedding. After that, 3 days later we will have wedding reception celebration party. In remaining two or three days I want to take my parents to some famous and beautiful place site seen.

For my work arrangement, I have already discussed with my colleagues. In my absence they agreed to look after my work and also already asked customers to cooperate with us for these two weeks. If urgent call me. I will send you my mobile number once I get new Australia telecom mobile sim card. Beside these I will manage some time to check my email at the evening.

I hope you have understood my situation and grant me two weeks holidays from Nov. 10th 2015 to Nov. 24th 2015 (i.e. 2 weeks).

Your sincerely
Pdeep

Pradeep, let me offer you a sample of how to better write this letter.Your version is too cut and dried. It does not appeal to your manager's sense of family. That is often necessary in these instances. I hope you can use it as a template for your class the next time you have to write a similar letter:

Dear Mr. Smith,

I would like to request for a leave of absence from the 15th till the 24th of November 2015. My brother is getting married in Australia to a Nepalese co-worker and he has requested that I attend the wedding as his best man. Needless to say, I could not turn down his request.

I need to take 2 weeks out of my leave credits because of the festivities involved in the wedding. I am scheduled to arrive in Australia on the evening of the 15th with the wedding celebrations beginning that same night. While the wedding parties are scheduled to take only a week, I plan to take advantage of my stay there by visiting the tourist spots in Australia with my parents, who will also be planing in for the festivities, over the course of a week. Hence the two week leave request.

With regards to my work responsibilities, I have already spoken to my team leader and he has agreed to help me make arrangements for the delegation of my other duties during my absence so as not to affect our department work flow. My team members have been informed of my potential absence and have already divided my duties amongst themselves. However, I will not be totally unreachable during my vacation. I will be submitting my Australian based contact number to my team leader as soon as I arrive in Australia and I will be checking my email every evening just in case a situation at the office warrants my immediate response or cooperation with the team.

I hope that you will allow my request at the soonest possible time. My brother has already booked my flight and the tickets are non-refundable. I sincerely hope for a positive outcome at this point.

Your sincerely
Pdeep
