Write A Letter To Your Boss Asking For Permission

Dear [boss name],

I am writing to you to ask for permission to take some time off from work. I have been working at [company name] for two years and I have been having trouble sleeping lately. I think it’s because of how much stress is on my shoulders. My job is very demanding and sometimes I feel like it’s too much for me to handle.

I would like to take a week off from work so that I can relax and focus on myself for awhile. This will allow me to get the sleep that I need and hopefully be more productive when i return.

Thank you for your consideration, [your name].

Dear [Boss’s name],

I was wondering if you would be willing to give me permission to take the following week off. I have been working so hard this year, and I feel like it would be good for me to take some time off. The reason I am asking is because I want to go on a vacation with my family. I have been working a lot lately, and I think that taking some time off will help me recharge and reenergize myself.

I have never taken time off from work before, and it would mean a lot to me if you could give me permission. Please let me know what your thoughts are on this matter by Friday afternoon at 5:00 p.m., so that I can make any necessary arrangements for my absence from our office next week.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter, [your name].

Dear [Boss Name],

I am writing to you with a request. I would like to take Friday off so that I can attend my best friend’s wedding. It has been five years since the last time I saw her, and it would mean a lot to me if I could be there on her big day.

I have been working very hard lately, and could use some time off. I know that Friday is a busy day for us, but I promise that everything will get done before my absence. If you could approve this request, it would mean so much to me!

Sincerely, [your name].

Dear [boss name],

I would like to request permission to work from home on Mondays and Fridays of each week. The reason for this request is that my husband is suffering from a serious illness, and it’s been difficult for him to get around lately. He’s home most days now, but I’d like to be able to stay close by.

I’m sure you’ll understand that this is a difficult time for us, and I would never ask for such special treatment if it weren’t a matter of necessity.

Thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter—I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Dear [boss name],

I’m writing to ask for your permission to take a couple of days off from work in order to attend my cousin’s wedding. He is getting married in [city name] and I would like to make it in time for the event. Unfortunately, I have no vacation days left, so I wouldn’t be able to take a personal day for the trip.

I’m hoping that you will be able to cover my absence since it’s family related. Also, even though I don’t have any vacation days left this year, I’ve been working hard during the past few months and have earned some time off.

Thank you for considering this request, and please let me know if there are any issues with granting it. If so, please let me know what those issues are so we can try and come up with a solution together.

Dear Mr. [your boss’s name],

I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to reach out to you because I have an idea that I think could help the company in a big way, but it requires some time and money that I don’t have available right now.

I’d like to request a small amount of personal time off from work in order to pursue my idea. While I can’t say exactly how long it will take, I’m hoping for no more than a month or so. Once the project is complete, however, I believe it will be worth the investment—it could save our company millions of dollars over the next year!

I know that asking for permission means taking time away from my regular job responsibilities, and I also understand if this request isn’t possible under current conditions at [company name]. If so, please let me know what other options there might be for getting started on this project while still keeping up with my normal work load.

Thank you so much for considering my request; any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Dear [Boss’ Name],

I am writing to you to request permission to take a leave of absence from [Company Name]. This will be for the duration of one week, beginning on the 14th and ending on the 21st. I would like to take this time off in order to attend my cousin’s wedding.

I realize that this is short notice, and I apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. However, I think that my work record shows that I am an extremely reliable employee who has never missed a day of work, even when sick or injured. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do in order to make this request more likely to be granted.

Thank you so much for your consideration!

Dear [boss’s name],

I am writing to ask for permission to take two days off from work, as I need to attend my brother’s wedding. The wedding is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and it would be very helpful if you could allow me to take the Friday and Monday following.

As you know, I have worked very hard for the past three years, and I hope that you will agree that this is not an unreasonable request. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about my request.

Sincerely, [your name].

Dear [Boss],

I am writing to request permission to take three days off from work in January to attend my cousin’s wedding. My cousin’s wedding is the first one in our family and she is only marrying once. Therefore, I would like to make sure that I am present at this important event.

I have attached a copy of my schedule so that you can see when I will need the time off. In addition, I have also included a copy of my work performance evaluation from last year so that you can see how hard I work every day and how much value I add to your company.

I look forward to hearing from you soon about whether or not this request is approved or denied.

Dear [Boss Name],

I would like to request permission to work from home for the following reasons:

1. I am struggling with my health, as documented in my notes from our last meeting. I have been advised that I should take a few days off and focus on rest and recovery.
2. My son has been ill and needs me at home.
3. There are tasks that can only be done at my desk, but they can be done remotely with the right tools (such as screen sharing).

Thank you for your consideration, [your name].

Dear [boss name],

I am writing to ask for permission to take a day off on [date]. I would like to spend the day with my family and make sure they are healthy. I will still be working from home and answering emails, but I will not be available in person.

I am writing to ask for permission to take a personal day on Friday. I have a doctor’s appointment that I need to attend and therefore will not be in the office.

Thank you for your consideration of my request.

Dear [boss name],

I am writing to ask for permission to work from home for the next two days. I have a family emergency that I need to attend to, and I will be out of the office on Thursday and Friday. I would like to continue working remotely either before or after my time off.

Thank you for your consideration.

Dear [Boss Name],

I am writing to ask if you would be willing to allow me to take a short leave of absence from my position as an account manager at [company name].

Best regards, [Name].

Dear Mr. Boss,

I am writing to ask for your permission to go on a business trip next week. It’s not a long trip, just two days, but I think it would be good for me to get out of the office and see what it’s like in the field. I know that this is not something we have discussed before, but my manager has recommended it as part of my training program. I think it will be very helpful for me to see how other people do their jobs in our company, and I am sure that the experience will make me a better employee.

I understand that you may need to approve this request, so please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about my plans. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Dear [Boss Name],

I’m writing to ask for permission to take my vacation days in December instead of at the end of March. I know it’s a bit unusual to request a change like this, but I really need a break from work right now, and I would really appreciate the flexibility.

As you know, I’ve been working on [project name] for quite some time, and I think that it’s coming along nicely. I’d like to take this time off to do some research and get some inspiration for the next phase of development, which will be much more difficult than what we’ve done so far. That’s why I would like to take my vacation at this point in time rather than later on in the year.

I hope you understand my reasoning behind this request!

Dear [boss name],

I would like to take a few days off next week to attend the [conference name] conference in Austin, Texas. This is an event for my company’s industry, and it will be a great opportunity to network and learn from others in the field. I know you are busy, so I wanted to reach out and ask if it would be possible for me to have time off next week.

Thank you so much!

Dear [Boss Name],

I am writing to ask for permission to be on medical leave for two days starting on April 8th. My doctor has prescribed rest, and I have not taken a sick day in over three years. I know it is short notice, but I just found out last night that I am pregnant and I need to be off work immediately. I will be back in the office on April 10th. Please let me know if this is approved or not as soon as possible so that I can make arrangements with my other doctors.
