Dear Ms. Cheng

I would like to request a 15 working day leave of absence for personal reasons. If possible, I would like to leave work on July 1st and return on August 1st.

If approved, I will be traveling during this time period, but I would be glad to assist with any questions via email or Skype.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Arthur Wang
