Re: Leave Application
Dear Madam,
I have been working in Australia for the past [period of time], while my husband and son have remained in [name of country]. We now feel it is time for them to apply for immigration to Australia as the strains of separation have been causing us problems.
For this reason, I would like to request leave of six weeks, which will include two weeks of annual leave and four weeks of unpaid leave. Would you be so kind as to approve my leave, which will be from 01 March 2007 to 06 April 2007? I will be in Jakarta during this time and, hopefully, I will be able to come back to Australia with my family before the end of my leave.
I hope this will not be a problem, and thank you in advance for your consideration.
Yours faithfully,
Mega
If at all possible, it will be better to have the name of the Nursing Manager and address her by name.
