Answer 1
Dear Rose...

I am writing to request some unpaid leave next month...

My parents’ 50th wedding anniversary is on April 21st, and they plan to celebrate this significant achievement with all their children and grandchildren...

I must be away from work for four days to participate in this particular occasion, from Monday 19th to Thursday 23rd...

I would be very grateful if you could allow me this time. These few days are critical to my parents and the whole family, and it would be a way to thank them for all the support they have given me...

Best wishes...
