Dear John,
My son is infected with viral fever and I will have to take care of him. Therefore, I will not be able to attend office for next 15 days.
My son has caught a viral infection and has high fever and severe nasal congestion. His doctor has advised nebulization for 15 days for which I have to take him to the hospital daily. We will also have to visit the pediatrician during these 15 days for follow ups.
I have fixed the current bug assigned to me and I have pushed the code to the common repository. Neil is working closely with me since the beginning of this task and I have appraised him about the delivery timelines and targets. I believe he will handle the challenge and will take this task to the finish line.
I will be available on my cell for any critical issue.
I request you to, please, approve this leave request.
Your Sincerely,
Pumbaa
