A leave letter to boss is a writeup stated by an employee to seek workdays off from the office for a fixed period. In this letter, an employee stated the reason to be absent from the work and requests to have off days for the purpose included in the letter. The letter is usually presented to the immediate boss or to the person mentioned in the work contract.
Employees in many workplaces have an annual work calendar which already has included the holidays and the seasonal timings. Yet an employee may need to have a few days off due to many reasons, such as
- Long term disability
- Short term disability
- Illness
- Maternity/paternity
- Own marriage
- Recreation or visiting a place
- Personal or family issues
- Sister/brother/daughter marriage
For writing a leave letter to boss need to be very formal and professional. The letter must have good writing and strong reasoning to make your boss sure that you deserve the leave.

Subject: Leave letter to boss for father illness
I want to inform you that I am in dire need of an emergency one week leave from 20-04-20XX to 26-04-20XX owing to a serious family problem. Last week, my father had a severe and sudden heart attack. My uncle was there in my home at that time and called an emergency service. Doctors have advised him complete bed rest for a week. Being a single child of my parents, I thought it my responsibility to stay with my father at home. Mr. Meezo has agreed to take responsibility for all the tasks in my absence.
In case of an emergency or serious query, I can be reached through email at [Email]. I have also informed my potential clients to contact me directly at said email if they will have any query related to me. I would be able to concentrate on my work once I see my family issues during this hard time.
I am waiting for your positive response.

Subject: Leave letter to boss for a doctor appointment
I want this letter to be accepted as a written request that I will be unable to attend the office from 20-04-20XX to 25-04-20XX because of a doctor’s appointment. The reason behind this appointment is that I have not been feeling well for the last two weeks. I got myself checked by the doctor and as a result, he suggested I book consecutive appointments in order to reach the bottom of the problem. Keeping in view my condition, I did that instantly.
I have enclosed all appointment details with dates with this letter for official records and future reference. In case of any query, you can call me on my own cell number. Mr. John has agreed to handle my work in my absence. I hope you will entertain my request and sanction my leave. I am waiting for your positive response.

Subject: Leave letter to boss for going to temple
I want to inform you that I am in dire need of two weeks’ leave starting from 20-04-20XX. Since last year, I have been thinking about revitalizing my spiritual powers at a sacred place. For this purpose, I planned with my wife to visit the historical temple of Sri Siva along with our children. There we would perform family rituals and thereafter, meet our relatives as well.
Going through my leave record, you can find that I have accumulated a sufficient number of leaves in my account to use them at the proper time. To me, this is the proper time as the work burden is comparatively less these days. You will find no discrepancy in my absence regarding my work. But still, if there is an emergency or a query, I can be contacted through email at [Email]. I hope you will approve my request to visit the temple.
Waiting for your positive response.
