How to write a leave application in English

  1. Greet the right person. "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madam" for office; schools in Pakistan and India often expect "Respected Sir/Madam". If you know the name, "Dear Mr Khan" is better.
  2. Give exact dates. "for today", "for tomorrow, 9 October" or "from 12 to 16 November". Vague dates are the most common reason a manager comes back with questions.
  3. One line for the reason. "I have a fever", "my mother is unwell", "my brother's wedding". You don't need to share medical details.
  4. Say how work will be covered. "I will hand over my tasks to Ahmed" or "I will be reachable on my phone." This is what gets leave approved quickly.
  5. Close politely. "Thank you for your understanding" or "I would be grateful if you could approve my leave", then your name.
  6. Avoid literal translations. "Chutti chahiye" is "I would like to request leave", not "I want holiday". "I am having fever" should be "I have a fever".

Questions

How do I write a leave application for one day?

Keep it to three lines: the date, the reason and a thank-you. For example: "Dear Sir, I would like to request leave for tomorrow, 9 October, as I have a doctor's appointment. Thank you for your understanding." Type your reason in Roman Urdu above and Likho writes it for you.

Can I send a leave application on WhatsApp?

For a day or two, many managers accept a WhatsApp message. For longer leave, or if your office or school asks for a written application, send it by email. Use the WhatsApp / Email switch above to get the right format.

What is the English for "chutti chahiye"?

In a formal application: "I would like to request leave." In a friendly message to your manager: "Could I take the day off tomorrow?" Avoid "I want holiday", which sounds rude in English.

Should I write sick leave, casual leave or annual leave?

If your office has leave types such as casual, sick or annual leave, name the one you are applying for, because HR counts them separately. If you are not sure, just write "leave".

Can Likho write a school leave application for my child?

Yes. Say who it is for (beta or beti), the class if you like, how many days and why, e.g. "meri beti class 4 mein hai, kal school nahi aayegi, shaadi pe jana hai". Likho writes it as a parent's leave application.
