Dear Director,
I beg to apply for one’s week’s leave of absence from the 1st to 7th instant, both days inclusive, in order to return home to see my grandfather, who is now serious ill. To support my application, I herewith submit the telegram received from my father last night.
Respectfully,
James Smith
尊敬的公司领导：
因本人有孕在身，预产期11月份，现需要回家休息，调养身体。特向领导申请办理请假手续，春节后回来上班，请假时间为4个月。目前本岗位的工作已移交给某某同志，经过近期的培训，某某同志已经完全可以胜任本岗位工作了。另在此非常感谢公司领导对我的关心和照顾。特此申请，望领导审批。
