0 / 2,000 characters
What to include
- The exact date (or dates) you'll be off.
- A brief reason — you don't need to over-explain a personal day.
- A note that your work is covered or won't be disrupted.
- An offer to help with handover if needed.
A simple template
Subject: Time off request — [date]
Hi [Manager], I'd like to request [date] off. I've checked my schedule and there are no deadlines that day; I'll make sure anything urgent is handled before I'm out. Please let me know if that works. Thanks, [Your name].
Send it with as much notice as you reasonably can — more notice makes approval easier.
Frequently asked questions
How much notice should I give for a day off?
As much as you can — a week or more for a planned day is ideal. For sudden illness, send a short message as early as possible on the day.
Do I have to give a reason?
For a personal day, a brief reason is usually enough; you're not obliged to share private details. Follow your company's leave policy.
Can the tool write my time-off email?
Yes. Enter the date and a short reason in the email writer above, choose a polite tone, and it drafts the full request for you.
