Dear Mr Pattison, My parents are going to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on 14th December and I would request some unpaid leave from the office next month to prepare for the party and enjoy the occasion. The 50th wedding anniversary is a significant occasion both for our parents and us and we want to make it distinctive. We will celebrate the occasion on 14th December and have already booked a large party hall for that. The whole family, including my nephews and nieces, and almost 50 other guests are expected to be present and it demands a huge preparation. To participate in this occasion, I would need to be away from work for three days, considering the travel time and some preparation works that I am expected to finish before the party. I would, hence, be absent from work from 13th December to 15th December. I do not have any urgent work commitment at that time and Tania has agreed to look after my tasks while I would be away. She had done that before and after I return, I would be ready to work some extra hours to cover any of my pending tasks. I would be very grateful if you could allow me the time off. The occasion is very special to me and my family and I want to make it memorable by attending it. Thank you in advance. Yours sincerely, Donna Roth
