Asking for Business Leave
December 8, 20xx
Dear Head Teacher Zhang,
A telegram has just reached me saying that my father is seriously ill and urging ① me to go home at once. Because of this I would like to have a leave of two days beginning on the next day(December 9). I hope that my request will be given due consideration②.
Yours truly,
Zhao Jianqiang
