Dear Manager,

I hope you are doing well. I am writing to formally request some time off from work due to a personal situation that requires my immediate attention. A close family member has recently experienced a health-related issue, and I need to spend some time supporting them and helping with important arrangements. This situation has become quite demanding, and I believe taking a short break will allow me to handle these responsibilities properly while also ensuring that I can return to work with full focus.

I would like to request five working days of leave, from Monday, 10 June, to Friday, 14 June. I understand that my absence may affect the team’s schedule, so I will make every effort to minimize any disruption. Before my leave begins, I will complete all urgent tasks, prepare detailed notes on ongoing projects, and ensure that my colleagues have access to the necessary information.

To compensate for the missed time, I am willing to work additional hours after I return and prioritize any delayed assignments. I can also remain available by email for urgent matters during my time off if needed.

Thank you very much for your understanding and consideration. I appreciate your support and hope you can approve my request.

Kind regards,
[Your Name]
