Dear [Boss Name],

I am writing to ask for permission to take a week off from work. I will be spending the week with my family, and would like to take some time off so that I can ensure that my children are well cared for while I am away.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Dear [boss name],

I have never taken time off from work before, but I know that in my situation it is totally fine. If you need any further information, please let me know.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration!

Dear [Boss Name],

I am writing this letter to ask for your permission to take a week off from work. I know it is short notice and that you are likely busy, but I need to attend my grandfather’s funeral. He passed away last week and I would really like to be there for the service.

Dear [Boss Name],

I am writing to ask for permission to take a personal day on [date]. I know you are a very busy person, so I want to make sure that I explain my reasons for asking.

The reason I am asking is because my father passed away recently. He was quite old, and his death was expected. However, it has been very hard on me and my family. We have had three funerals in less than two weeks, and they were all very emotionally draining. I haven’t been able to get much sleep, and my mind is just not functioning like it normally does.

I think that taking this day off would help me to be more productive when I come back to work on Monday. It would give me some time to rest and recuperate before diving into my normal routine again. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!

Thank you so much!
