Re: Vacation Request for January 25-February 8,2007
Sally,
This is a memo to give you advance notice of my request for my upcoming vacation days of January 25-February 8.
As written in the vacation policy, I am providing ample notice of my requested days. So hopeful, these 2 weeks will be okay to be away from the office. We are planning a family reunion which had been planned for the last couple of years.
I know that I have just recently joined the company and normally would need to wait until my probationary period is over before taking any vacation days. However, as you may recall, this request for some advance days was discussed and agreed to in our negotiation meetings in late November.
Thank you for your understanding. I will make sure that my work is covered to avoid any disruption in my projects.
Mary
