Hello {formtext: name=Emily; cols=5},
I am emailing you because I would like to request unpaid time off for {formtext: name=April 12th, April 13th, and April 14th.}. I ask because I would like to attend {formtext: name=my friend Christina's wedding}. I understand that being gone for this time would make things harder for everyone at work, but I will make sure to get caught up on my work and even work ahead if possible. If you'd like to meet to discuss this further, feel free to email me or call. I appreciate your time and understanding. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Shane
