Dear Madam
SUB: REQUEST FOR 1 DAY OFF TO ATTEND THE GREAT AMERICAN BEER FESTIVAL
I am writing this letter to request 1 day leave on the 26th September, 2022 to attend the Great American beer festival that will be held on the same day at the Denver grounds in Denver, Colorado. This is a great opportunity to get a few tips from other vendors that will improve our bar and wine business. The purpose of my attendance is to learn new mixing and serving skills and implement them in our own way. This will attract more customers because of the recommendations from returning customers.
I have assigned the junior barman, Mr. Donald to be in charge while I will be away. The event is a one day affair and there will be no reasons for me not reporting to work the following day 27th September, 2022.
Thank you and I hope my request will be granted.
Yours Faithfully,
