How to ask leave to manager in mail

Here's a sample email template you can use as a guide to ask for leave from your manager:

Subject: Request for [Number] Days of Leave

Dear [Manager's Name],

I am writing to request [Number] days of leave from [Start Date] to [End Date]. I understand that this may be a busy period for the team, but I have a personal commitment that I need to attend to and I will make sure to complete all my tasks and ensure a smooth transition of work before I leave.

I will be available by email if anything urgent comes up while I am away, and I will make sure to catch up on any missed work as soon as I return.

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 find an alternative solution.

Thank you for considering my request.

Best regards,

[Your Name]

Additional Tips:

  1. Be specific: Clearly state the dates you are requesting off and the reason for your leave (if you feel comfortable sharing it).
  2. Provide advance notice: Try to give your manager as much notice as possible, ideally 2-3 weeks in advance.
  3. Offer solutions: Show that you are proactive and willing to find a solution if your manager has concerns about your absence.
  4. Be respectful: Use a professional tone and language, and avoid making demands or assumptions.
  5. Proofread: Double-check your email for spelling and grammar errors before sending it to your manager.

Here's an example of a more detailed email:
