Dear [Manager's Name],

I am writing to request some annual leave from [start date] to [end date]. I have accrued [number] days of annual leave and would like to take [number] days off to recharge and spend some time with my family.

If my request is approved, I will be available by email if anything urgent comes up while I'm away. I will also make sure to set up an out-of-office reply on my email and phone to notify clients and colleagues of my absence.

I appreciate your approval in advance and look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Thank you for considering my request.

Best regards,

[Your Name]
