Leave Letter Templates

Make use of our leave letter template to help to come to a perfect personalized version. The objective of writing this letter is to request a period of leave for a temporary or permanent leave. It will mainly depend on the reason you apply for leave, whether or not you want to use a formal intonation. 

Whether the letter is formal, or not, we advise putting the reason for the leave in the first paragraph of the letter's body. In the paragraphs following, you can use examples to support your main argument. In the final paragraph, you need to summarize the purpose of your letter again and suggest a suitable course of action to follow. Do not indent the paragraphs. But instead, leave an empty line between each paragraph.

Close the letter without indentation, leaving three or four lines for your signature between the closing and your typed name and title.  Please understand that if you are drafting a wrong leave letter or a false leave letter, this may create bridges of misunderstanding. Therefore, we recommend to first, analyze the reason behind the leave and then draft a letter accordingly. Make sure you have taken enough time to inform those who might have an impact of your leave, so they can take the appropriate precautions.
