Dear Mr. Shevchenko, I am writing to ask you to let me take one week off because of my sisters' wedding. This event is really essential for me, although we currently have a huge project I still would like to be absent next week. Let me explain in details, my sister is worrying and has kind of hesitation about her decision. Moreover, she asked me to assist in preparation for this exciting event. There is going to be many guests and all our relatives even those who I never met before. It is a great opportunity to see these people. The occasion will be during next week, therefore I need to take a week off work since 10th July till 17th July. It means on Monday 18th July I will be at work. I already talked to Anna she promised to finish my work and she is ready to cover all my duty all next week. In addition, I agreed to work with her tasks while she will be on vacation in August. I hope for your careful consideration. Yours sincerely, Olga.
