Annual leave request email
Here is an example of an annual leave request email:
Subject: Request for Annual Leave - [Your Name]
Dear [Manager's Name],
I am writing to request some annual leave from [start date] to [end date]. I would like to take [number] days off to recharge and spend some time with my family.
I have reviewed the company's annual leave policy and ensured that my request does not conflict with any critical deadlines or important meetings. I will make sure to complete all my tasks and ensure a smooth transition of work before I leave.
If approved, I will be available by email if anything urgent comes up while I am away. I will also make sure to set up an out-of-office reply on my email and phone to ensure that any messages or calls are directed to the appropriate person.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could approve my request. If there are any issues or concerns, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate them.
Thank you for considering my request.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
