A leave request letter is used to formally ask your boss or manager for time off from work. This letter should be clear, polite, and should mention the reason for the leave and the time period you need off. Always include the dates you are planning to be absent and any plans to handle your work during your absence. Avoid being too casual, forgetting important details, or not mentioning how your work will be managed while you are away.
