A leave note (written request for leave) is an essential application letter that English learners must master, including sick leave (note for sick leave) and leave of absence. A leave note is used to request leave from teachers or superior leaders due to poor health or other matters.
1. Writing guide:
- The structure of a leave note in English is similar to that in Chinese, generally consisting of four parts: time, address, main text, and signature. In the college entrance examination, the time, address, and signature are usually provided. The entire text is usually divided into three sections.
- A leave note is a simple letter style, with many similarities to a formal letter, being a simplified version of a letter. It should have an appropriate opening and closing sentence, and have the characteristics of person and tense in general letters.
- A leave note should be straightforward, concise, and use simple, understandable language, with a conversational tone.
2. Common sentence patterns:
- I am writing to you to ask for a sick leave.
- I ask for three days of sick leave.
- I am sorry that I cannot go to school today, so I would like to ask for two days of sick leave.
- I wonder if you could give me your permission.
- I hope you can approve my leave.
- Your kind permission will be greatly appreciated.
- I will return to school as soon as I am well enough. And I will do my best to make up for the missed lessons during my absence.
- Sick leave refers to leave due to illness, and casual/absence leave refers to leave due to other personal matters.
- I am very sorry to tell you that I cannot attend your English classes today.
- I have to go to see the doctor.
- I would like to ask for four days' leave from Tuesday to Friday.
- I enclose a doctor's certificate.
3. Writing template:
- State the leave request + Explain the reason for the leave (and apologize) + Hope to be approved
- A leave note is usually divided into three sections.
- The first section: Openly state the leave request and politely express the leave date and time.
- The second section: Clearly state the reason for the leave and apologize for any inconvenience caused.
- The third section: Write a sentence hoping for approval of the leave or specify the time to wait for a reply.

Dear Mr. Peter,
I would like to know if I could ask for a casual leave of absence for one day on April 4th, this Wednesday.
This morning I received a telephone call from my dentist, urging me to come to his practice for immediate treatment of my teeth. I have been experiencing a stinging pain, depriving me of my sleep during the past fortnight. Concerning my workload: As Wednesday is not as busy as the other weekdays, I think a one-day leave this Wednesday may be the best solution.
I apologize for the inconvenience my absence from work may cause.
Thanks. I will call you at 1:30 p.m. or you can call me at any time.
(Many thanks. I'm looking forward to your kind answer.)
Earnestly yours,
Li Hua

Dear Mr Li,
I beg to apply for two days' leave of absence from the 7th to 8th of this week.
I'm sorry to tell you that because I was seriously ill--suffering severe headache, I want to return/go home to see the doctor. As regards the lesson to be missed during my absence, I will do my best to make them up as soon as I get back from leave.
To support my application, here I herewith/enclose the sick leave certificate.
? I should be very much obliged if you will grant me my application.
Yours respectfully,
Li Hua

English leave notes are often written in a format that includes basic information such as:
To: The person to whom the note is addressed.
From: The person requesting the leave.
Date: The date on which the note is written (not the date of the leave).
Subject: The subject of the note (written as "leave" or "leave request").
For example:
To: Matthew Zhang, Manager
From: Tina Xu, Marketing Department
Date: August 6, 2014
Subject: Casual Leave of Absence
In the first paragraph of the leave note, you should directly state the reason for the leave. Be clear about the date of the leave and make sure the main point is clear. For example:
Matthew, I would like to know if I could ask for a casual leave of absence for one day on August 8th, this Friday.
In the second paragraph, you should clearly state the reason for the leave and apologize for any inconvenience caused. For example:
This morning I received a telephone call from my dentist, urging me to come to his practice for immediate treatment of my teeth. I have been experiencing a stinging pain, depriving me of my sleep during the past fortnight. The situation could worsen, should infection occur.
Concerning my workload: As Friday is not as busy as the other weekdays, I think a one-day leave this Friday may be the best solution. I apologize for the inconvenience my absence from work may cause.
In the last paragraph, you should write a sentence hoping for approval of the leave or specify the time to wait for a reply. For example:
Thanks. I will call you at 1:30 p.m. or you can call me at any time.
By combining these paragraphs, you can create a complete leave note. It's not that difficult, right? As for leave reasons and English words, we should understand the following:
take a day off (take a leave of absence for one day)
ask for leave (ask for leave)
grant leave (grant leave)
sick leave (sick leave)
maternity leave (maternity leave)
annual leave (annual leave)
on leave (on leave)
paid leave (paid leave)
In the workplace, there are many opportunities to use English, such as writing emails, sending faxes or making phone calls, dealing with documents in English, and using English computer programs. English is prevalent in the workplace and life, and our weekly free English open class on Wednesday nights at 8:00 pm can teach you common workplace oral English and skills, allowing you to easily handle the workplace!

A leave note is a document requesting permission to be absent from work, study, or other activities.
Considering that many students and working friends are not very clear about the format and writing of leave notes, this website has selected 4 sample leave notes for your reference:
1. General leave note format
The first line in the main text should be centered with the title "Leave Note".
- Title: Center "Leave Note"
- Address: Start at the top, followed by a colon.
- Reason for leave: Start a new line, two spaces. Mainly write down the reason for the leave and how long you want to be away.
- Start and end times of the leave.
- Greeting words.
- Signature.
- Date of the leave, written at the right bottom of the main text.
2. Leave note record format (for class leaders)
Name: Dormitory: Phone:
Address where you will be during the leave:
Contact information for the place where you will be during the leave:
Reason for the leave:
Estimated return time: Approver:
Note: The leave note should be written in black pen or a ballpoint pen by the student who is taking leave, signed by the class leader in advance, and then submitted to the class teacher. Unauthorized absence will be handled as unauthorized leave from school. The class leader should keep all leave notes and record them, and the disciplinary committee member should go to the class leader to check on the leave status before making evaluations.
3. Sample leave note writing
If you have to work or attend various activities but cannot due to personal matters or health issues, you need to request leave from the relevant department or leader, which is the leave note.
For example:
Leave Note
School Party Branch:
Because my mother suddenly became ill and needs hospitalization, I cannot attend the party class and other activities this Saturday. Please approve.

Xx Training Center:
