Please Help edit this email


Could you kindly help in editing this email to a boss. This is a request for one month's vacation, thanks very much!

Hi Mary,

I would like to request for a month's vacation sometime in December and January. I am planning to visit home after a long time. The final dates and flight has not yet been confirmed, I will keep you posted.

Could you kindly approve my vacation and the go ahead to arrange for a temp staff to fill in during my absence.

Thank you.

Hi simply, and welcome to English Forums. You may need to be more precise. "Four weeks" is not necessarily "a month" in terms of vacation hours, but either way, I assume you have accrued enough vacation that you have this much time to take.

  • If your leave is approved, then the right steps will be taken; you don't need to mico-manage your own boss about how to do her job, which is to make sure the work gets done.
