Hello Andrew, I am writing to request you to grant me a leave of absence for 2 days. As you know, the customer was extremely disappointed with our previous delivery as their expectation regarding quality and the timeline of the release was too high. To meet their requirement, I had been working consecutively for 3 weeks even on the weekends. Now, considering the number of hours I spent in the office last month, I have decided to take a short break from work. I am planning a short vacation on November 21st and 22nd. As the following days are weekends, I will get a total of 4 days of holiday. I would like to visit my native place during these holidays and get some time for myself before commencing work on the next project. I assure you that my absence will in no way affect my work as my teammate Sara has agreed to fill me for me. In addition, I will continuously monitor my email inbox and reply to customer queries without delay. I look forward to getting my leave application approved as early as possible. Yours sincerely
