Dear Mr. Arnold,

I want to apply for maternity leave from 31st Dec and have attached the relevant form of application. As you are aware, I am pregnant and the baby is due on the 20th Jan. I wish to apply for full maternity benefit for the period of maternity leave. I have not taken any annual leave for this year and wish to combine it with the maternity leave and request that I may be allowed to do so. I request you to kindly confirm the dates of relieving and resuming.

Awaiting your response at the earliest and thanking you for your consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Jolly
