Please help me correct this letter.

I shall be highly obliged if you can permit me to take  leave from 28th of October to 20th of November.

Thank you

Regards

Max

Hello, Max.  I do not know which relative you are referring to by 'cousin sister'-- we do not use that form in English.  Also, may I suggest that, in my culture at least, 3 weeks is far too long to request for a wedding!



Dear Mr/Ms (Supervisor's surname):

I would like to request leave to attend my cousin sister's marriage at our home town.  I would be very grateful if you would permit me to take leave from the 28th of October to the 20th of November.

Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Max
