Dear Sir,
Application for 5 days leaves of absence.

Greetings Mr Hilary and I hope this letter finds you well

I am writing to apply for 5 days leave of absence to be taken from my yearly leave. As you know, that I just recently got married, and my husband has booked a one-week honeymoon vacation in a romantic getaway at the Caribbean Island.

The vacation, as you are aware, is a necessity for every newlywed couple in Nigeria. My husband and I are scheduled to leave Nigeria on the 25th of June, 2021. This leave, if granted, will start on 24th June till 30th June. I will be resuming duty on the 1st of July, 2021.

I have requested that Mr John Comey, from our department, cover and fill up for me in my absence and he has agreed. I have intimated him on some of my job duties, and he is familiarizing himself with them even as I am around, and it won’t be a problem for him to handle my time off.

I look forward to your favourable reply.

Thank you

Yours faithfully
