'Hence' is little used nowadays. If you have 'work' then you should be working, not taking leave, so the message doesn't quite make sense. Perhaps you mean this:

Hi John,

I have some urgent personal things to do tomorrow, so I would like to take the day off. My apologies for the short notice.

That sounds like you are foisting off some difficult work onto your co-workers. You don't want to do the difficult things; you'd rather take a day of vacation and have fun.
