Hello {formtext: name=name of boss or manager; cols=5},
I am emailing you because I would like to request paid time off for {formtext: name=dates}. I ask because during this time I am {formtext: name=doing/going} {formtext: name=activity/location}. I understand that being gone for this time would make things harder for {formtext: name=staff/coworkers}, but I will make sure to get caught up on my work and even work ahead if possible. I feel that I have been working hard and would love to take a break to relax for a little while and use my paid time off hours as well. If you'd like to meet to discuss this further, feel free to email me or call at {formtext: name=phone number}. I appreciate your time and understanding. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
{formtext: name=your name}
