Dear Sir or Madam,

I, Maria Garcia (Senior Accountant), am expecting my baby around 05/10/2026. I would like to apply for maternity leave from 05/10/2026 to 05/10/2026, as provided by the law and the company's policy.

I will hand over my work in an orderly way before my leave begins and will share my medical certificate as required. I would be grateful for your approval and for guidance on any formalities.

Yours faithfully,

  • Exams, relocation or child-care needs

  1. Address the letter to the person who approves your leave.
  2. Give the exact dates (from - to) and the type of leave.

FAQ

How early should I submit a leave application?

As soon as you know the dates. Planned leave (annual, marriage, exam) should be submitted at least a week ahead; sick and emergency leave should be informed the same day and followed by a written application.

Do I need a medical certificate for sick leave?

Most employers and schools ask for a medical certificate after two to three days of sick leave. Mention it in the application and attach it when you return.

Should I give the reason in detail?

Briefly and honestly. You do not have to share private medical details; a doctor's certificate covers the reason.
