Anonymous  +  281539 Mon, 16 Oct 06 09:25 AM Hi, if writing a leave letter after one is absent, the sentence, "please grant me leave" is regarded unnecesary in British English. if the authority was notified verbally prior to or on the day of the absence, do we need to add this sentence? please help me with this ASAP regards, Maddy Anonymous Regards, Leave Letters, British English

	nona the brit  +  281549 Mon, 16 Oct 06 09:50 AM It depends entirely upon the requirements of your company. It is 'not required' in British English as we do not write these letters. So, you can't follow our rules on how to correctly phrase one - we don't have any rules. How can you request leave after you've taken it? Sounds confusing to me. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all. British English

	Clive  +  344819 Thu, 29 Mar 07 06:16 AM Hi, I've suggested a few changes. However, as noted earlier in the thread, in Western culture we don't write this kind of letter, so really it is best for you to decide what you want to say. In the West, we get a certain amount, eg 2 or 3 weeks, of paid vacation each year. When we want to take time off, we ask for permission to take some of our vacation days. Do you get paid for your leave days? Best wishes, Clive Sir,       Sub: Request leave for two days – reg. As I am going to attend a family wedding function that will be held from 29.03.07 to 30.03.07 in my home town, I request that you give me leave for those two days.   Thanking you,   Yours faithfully, Sasikumar.S Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,575 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo Yours Faithfully, Weddings
