To: John Smith, Supervisor From: George Chen, Accounting
Department Date: .March 11, 2001 Subject: 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. Yesterday I received a letter from my
parents, who are both over 70, telling me that a big flood took place at my home
village, causing serious damage to my house. As the only soft of my parents, I
should go back to assess the situation, and help them to get over these
difficulties. Though I cannot stay at home for too long a time, I should at
least make arrangements for repair work. 1 believe my relatives in the village
and my neighbors will also come to help: Financially I have no difficulties. I
will call you at 1:30 p.m. Or you can call me at any time. Though I cannot stay at home for too long a time, I should at least make ______ for repair work.
