You need to take some time off of work to go on holiday. Write a letter to your direct manager.

Dear Ms. Snyder, I am writing this in regard to a formal request for a two-week vacation. As you may have noticed, the year is approaching its end and I would like to take some time off so that I could spend time with my family back in Vietnam. It has been 3 years since I last visited them and it is hard to deny that I miss them a great deal. In relation to specific details, I would like to take my leave on Monday, December 1st and return to work on Monday, December 15th. After careful consideration, I believe this would be a perfect time since the two weeks after could be very busy due to Christmas season and it might not be the wisest choice to go on a vacation. All the tasks that I am currently working on will definitely be completed before I leave. I have also consulted with Mary Williams, one of the most experienced colleagues in my team and she is willing to carry on my part as a temporary representative. In order to make up for my absence, I would be very much happy to discuss any further plans to ensure my workload is covered. During my leave, I will be able to check my email regularly to answer any questions or provide any assistance needed, so please feel free to reach out at any time. In case of urgency, you can always contact me at 1-555-445-5454. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you for your consideration of my request. Yours sincerely, Linh Pham
