APPLICATIONS FOR LEAVE
*(BELIEVE IT OR NOT - THESE ARE ALL TRUE !!!)*
An employee applied for leave as follows: "Since I have to go to my village to sell my land along with my wife, please sanction me one-week leave."
From an employee who was performing the "mundan" ceremony of his 10-year-old son: "as I want to shave my son's head, please leave me for two days."
Leave letter from an employee who was performing his daughter's wedding: "as I am marrying my daughter, please grant a week's leave."
Another one: "As my mother-in-law has expired and I am the only one responsible for it, please grant me 10 days leave."
Another employee applied for half-day leave as follows: "Since I have to go to the cremation ground at 10 o'clock and I may not return, please grant me half-day casual leave."
An incident of a leave letter: "I am suffering from fever, please declare a one-day holiday."
A leave letter to the headmaster: "As I am studying in this school, I am suffering from a headache. I request you to excuse me today."
Another leave letter written to the headmaster: "As my headache is painful, please grant me leave for the day."
Covering note: "I am enclosing herewith..."
Another one: "Dear Sir, with reference to the above, please refer to my below..."
Actual letter written for the application of leave: "My wife is suffering from sickness and as I am her only husband at home, I may be granted leave."
Letter writing: "I am well here and hope you are also well."
A candidate's job application: "This has reference to your advertisement calling for a 'Typist and an Accountant - Male or Female'... As I have been both for the past several years and I can handle both with good experience, I am applying for the post."
