Interpersonal Communication

Sensitivity: Internal & Restricted
For this assignment, you will write emails explaining a situation to both
employer and friend.
Your employer has asked you to work on a day that you had already
requested off for personal reasons. You are unable to change your plans
and therefore must explain why you are unable to work (a family
wedding or similar event is a possible choice for this). Your friend has
asked you to assist him or her with moving on the same day. Again, you
are unable to help because of the same prior engagement.
Write an email to your employer explaining why you are unable to work
on the day specified.
Hi Employer,
Hope you are doing well!
This is regarding the leave request for tomorrow. As you know it is my cousin’s wedding, there are so
many arrangements that need to be taken care of as there is no one else in the family who can solely
manage things. I know there is a work requirement in the office too on the same day and you have
asked me to work but I cannot miss the wedding as I have already made plans, booked tickets and
packed the bags. Everyone is depending on me for the pending tasks. I will manage the office work after
coming back and will also invest some extra hours to meet the deadlines. I hope you will understand the
situation and allow me to take the leave. I would be glad to assure you that I will cover all the workload
after coming back and I would be available all the time to provide assistance regarding work while I will
be away.
Please let me know about anything required by you. Thank you in advance for considering my request.
Regards,
Employee
