Sample of a Birthday Leave Letter

It is a formal letter written by an employee to seek leave from work to attend the birthday party of a close friend or a family member. It is usually written by an employee to his manager or boss, who forwards it to the Human Resource Department for final approval or disapproval.

The tone of the letter must remain formal, since it is likely to be filed under your record. It is a professional correspondence; don’t use flowery language, long words, slangs or contractions etc. Make sure not to exceed one page, keeping the letter short and to the point. Once you have written your Birthday Leave Letter, go through it few times in order to correct all the possible the grammatical or spelling mistakes. You can also attach a copy of the birthday party invitation card, if any, with the leave letter.
