Asking for Leave of Absence

Askingfor Leave of Absence

　　To：Ms.Riddle，my dear Oral English teacher From：Sam，a respectful sophomore student of yours in Oral English Class Two Date：January 8，2005 Subject：Asking for Leave of Absence

　　Dear Ms.Riddle，

　　I would like to know if I could ask for a casual leave of absence from your Oral English class this Wednesday morning.

　　Yesterday evening I got a phone call from my cousin，who is now running a small firm in suburbs of this city. He needs an interpreter for two days but cannot find the most reliable person，so he wants me to have a try. Personally，I regard this as a golden opportunity to put what I have learned in your class into practice，but I need your permission of absence. If you think I may go and help him get over the difficulty，I am confident that I‘ll do a good job and both of us will grateful.

　　Earnestly yours，

　　Sam
