Annual leaves

Question

I would like to ask my boss for the annual leaves. Is this unpolite? Please help.

I would like have 5 days annual leave from 01st January – 05th January as advised you last week. The application form was put on your desk for your approval. Please sign back to me. Thank you.

I already asked Mary and Helen help for the outstanding works; it should be no problem during my holidays.

This is to confirm my request for annual leave as we discussed last week. OR as I indicated in my memo to you last week. I would like to have the five-day period from 01 January through 05 January. I have placed the application form on your desk. I hope this meets with your approval, and that you will be able to sign it, and kindly send it back to me.

Mary and Helen have agreed to help take up the slack during my absence, so there should be no problem in that regard.

The only thing that I question in terms of etiquette, is that if Mary and Helen also work for this same guy, it may be presumptuous of you to tell him how to run his business. Since you are entitled to the leave, it should be his prerogative to decide on how to cover your absence. (I know it's true that in some businesses, management does like to have employees make arrangements for coverage of their absences. It depends where you work.)

P.S. In the area where I grew up, "the annual leaves" would refer to the autumn foliage, when in early October the leaves of the trees turn bright colors for a week or two, before falling to the ground.

Hi Anon

When you wrote "annual leaves", were you referring to vacation?
Also, the word "unpolite" is generally not used, and that spelling is usually considered to be an error. Instead, you should use "impolite".
