IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You work for a large corporation. You want to apply for one month’s leave owing to illness. Write to your manager requesting leave for the same.
In your letter
● introduce yourself
● describe about your illness
● inform the manager how you intend to manage your job assignment in your absence
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear William,
I write this letter to apply for one month’s leave. I regret to say that I am seriously ill at the moment.
Last couple of months, I had been going through excruciating pain in my leg; sometimes I was unable to stand up and walk. The pain refused to subside and therefore, I decided to consult a doctor. The doctor says that it is a sciatica nerve pain that requires at least one month’s rest with medication. Luckily, I do not need to undergo any surgery for the same.
Considering this situation, I have transferred my assigned job to my colleague, Michelle and she has accepted it. Furthermore, she has assured that she will complete it without delay. As everything is clear, I request you to grant me leave for one month beginning from 15 November 2015 until 14 December 2015. I have attached the medical report for your perusal.
Thanks and regards,
