I am writing to request a 15 day leave of absence for medical reasons. As I have not been keeping good health for a while my doctor has advised me to take some days off work. If possible, I would like to leave work on August 1 and return on August 16.
Although I will not be in office during this time period, I will still be available via email or phone. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any problems.
Thank you very much for your consideration.

This letter is a formal request for my leave of absence that we discussed yesterday. As you know, I have been working continuously for over one year. During the last few months, I did not take even a day off work. Unfortunately this has started taking a toll on my health. Since my problems are mainly stress-related, my doctor has advised me to take a family vacation for at least 10 days. If possible, I would like to leave work on August 10 and return on August 21.
Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to facilitate the transition of my work to my reliever.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely
