Subject: Application for earned leave
Dear Sir,
I need leave to attend my son's 1st birthday function and related rituals to be organized in my hometown. Hence, I request you to kindly grant me 9 days earned leave starting from 9 July 2009 to attend these ceremonies. I am eligible for earned leave after 20 July, as I complete one year on that date.
Please find enclosed an invitation for my son's 1st birthday.
Thank you for your consideration of my request.
Yours sincerely.
