Date: March 11, 20xxSubject: Casual Leave of Absence John, I would like to know if I could ask for a casual leave of absence from March 23 to 27.
YesterdayI received a letter from my parents, who are both over 70, telling methat a big flood took place at my home village, causing serious damageto my house. As the only son of my parents, I should of back to assessthe situation, and help them to get over these difficulties. Though Icannot stay at home for too long a time, I should at least makearrangements for repair work. I believe my relatives in the village andmy neighbors will also com#e to help. Financially I have nodifficulties.
I will call you at 1:30p.m. or you can call me at any time.
