Dear Sir/Madam,
I want to request you to grant me leave of absence for 15 days schedule [DATE] to [DATE]. My family has planned to go to Chicago for visit. There will be no one at home whom I can stay with. I have been working very hard from last few days. I also want to go with my family because I want to refresh myself by visiting different areas. I hope that you will understand my condition. Thank you so much for your consideration.
Yours sincerely,
