Leave Extension Letter

Everyone takes leaves for some or the other purpose, and it also happens that they need to extend their leaves sometimes, for some or the other reason. In such cases, you are supposed to write a leave extension letter. The letter is mainly written in order to inform your boss, and request him/her for the extension of leave. While writing such letters, you should mention the reason for extension of leave. The reason which you mention should be valid, so that you get the leave extension approved. Also, mention the number of days that you want as an extra leave with the specified dates. Start you letter with a polite tone, and mention that you need leave extension in the first paragraph. In the second paragraph, mention the reason for extension in leave. Finally, in the third paragraph, request your boss to grant you leave, and close your letter with a polite note. Also, keep in mind that these letters should be short and simple, where the details are clearly mentioned.

Dear Sir,

SUB: LEAVE EXTENSION LETTER

This is to inform you that I am on leave for 15 days, and I won't be able to resume work further for another 10 days. I have gone through a surgery on my kidney, and doctor has supervised to take complete bed rest for 15 days.

I am still feeling weak, and so I need some rest to resume my job again; also, the stitches need to be removed in a week. I am taking different medicines and limited food items which have been strictly recommended. I have spoken to my Team Leader and he has confirmed that the work would not be affected during my absence. I will be available on my mobile number for any issues regarding the project I was working on.

So, please grant me 10 days of leave extension. I am also attaching my medical certificates and bed rest recommendation letter signed by the doctor.

Thanking you and expecting a positive reply from you.

Yours sincerely,

Kenneth Scott

To,
Mr. John Mitchell
TIP Manufacturing Inc.

Date: 13th September, 2011

Dear Sir,

SUB: LEAVE EXTENSION LETTER

I am writing this letter to inform you that I am currently on leave of 10 days, and I would like to extend my leave for another 5 days. I had taken leave because my grandfather expired.

There are a lot of works and lots of people have come in this maternity ceremony. There are some more rituals to be performed for the next four days. My leave is ending tomorrow, and would now require 5 days of extension in my leave. There are lots of responsibilities that need to be fulfilled by me. We don't have many people in my family, and so I have to hold the responsibility of all the preparations of the rituals.

Thanking you and expecting a positive reply from you.

Yours sincerely,

Donald Walker
