Dear Sir,
I had a telephone massage today early in the morning informing me the sudden and tragic death of my father at ____________ (Place Name). He had a massive heart attack and collapsed last night. I am the eldest male member in the family and so I have to rush there to perform his last rites according to our customary religious traditions. Moreover, there are many other matters to be seen, supervised and settled. Therefore, I am to request you to grant me a week’s leave of absence from today. I hope you would sanction the leave to enable me to attend my father’s funeral and to look after other related issues at my home town at ____________ (Place Name).
