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.
