Dear Sir,

Request for one year study leave

I wish to request for a one year study leave starting on August 24th 2015! During my leave I will be pursuing a Master of Engineering program at McMaster University in Canada! The program commences on Sept 3rd 2015!

I believer that once I complete my MEng program, I will be of more value to the company! Should my leave be granted,I hope to resume to the office after my leave on August 26th 2016!

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to serve this company.

A photocopy of my admission letter is attached.

 

Yours faithfully,

Daniel Babeke

Some points to note when writing a study leave letter

When writing a study leave letter, it is important to understand the policy of your company about study leaves. Do not apply for study leave for longer than the stipulated period unless you have received some form of approval from the management.

I would suggest that you present your study leave letter at the appropriate time. Do not apply when it is too early to determine whether you will get the admission or not. At the same time, do not wait until it is too late for the management to provide you with a letter especially if you would be needing it for your visa interview. If your study is outside the country, you will need this formal response as one of your supporting documents as you apply for a study permit.
