Subject: Request for covering the shift
Hey Rosy,
Hope this letter of mine finds you in good health. The purpose of this mail is to seek a help
from your side. Actually I had to go on leave for attending the marriage of one of my closest
friends and for that she had requested me to be present on that day and the timings of the
marriage also clashes with the timing of my shift timing. It is a working day for me so I
cannot go out if I will not arrange a substitute for me. I had conversation regarding this with
our supervisor he told me to arrange the staff for that day. I know rosy that you have to go on
vacation with your children to the Granville Island Children festival. For this you have taken
a week off for that day but please if it possible for you can you please change the shift for that
day or can you take the week off on some other day. I know it is important for you as you
have not gone out for quite some time with your family but you can go on some other day
while it is compulsory for me. I will be grateful to you if you accept this request of mine as I
it is an urgent need of mine and I have been informed about it in the last moment.
Regards,
Gursimran Singh gosal
