What to Add to an Office Leave Application: Email Format

In this section, we’ll show you how you can write an office leave application in email format. It might bear a resemblance to the letter format. Nowadays, emails are preferred over letter format so you can use this format while curating the application through email. 

Step 1- Add a subject line: After adding the receiver’s email address, you are asked to add something in a subject line. Your subject line defines the reason for writing that email to the concerned person. So, if you are writing a leave application, add the type of leave you are seeking and couple it with “application”. Suppose you are seeking maternity leave, write “Maternity Leave Application” in the subject line.

Step 2- Salutation: After adding your subject line, it’s time to greet the person. Add salutations like Hi, Hello, Good morning with the name of the person you are writing to. 

Step 3- Write the body of the Letter: This section explains the reason for seeking leave application. Make sure you don’t drag it too much but also add the complete required information. This information includes the purpose for your absence from work, the duration of your unavailability at the office, the mode of contact, and the time availability. Also, if you are taking leave for a longer duration then the name of the person who may keep a tab of your work in your absence. 

Step 4- End with a Thank you note: It’s an important and professional way to end any conversation. Whenever you write a leave application, do Thank the person for acknowledging the leave.

Step 5- Add sender’s details: Here you add your full name, and job title.
