HOW TO WRITE A LEAVE APPLICATION LETTER

How do I write a leave letter to my company?

I need medical leave as I have family problems.

  

Top answer

A leave application letter needs five things: the date, the recipient, your leave dates, a brief reason, and how your work will be covered. Keep it polite and under 150 words — a short, clear request is easier to approve than a long explanation.

Editor's note

State your exact leave dates in the first sentence.

Give the reason briefly — one line is enough.

Say who covers your work while you're away.

Close with "Yours sincerely" (named recipient) or "Yours faithfully" (unnamed).

Keep the whole letter under 150 words.
