Answer 1

Write the proposal for only the award meeting at this time; Put in the request for the vacation when that comes up. Best is to hand write on an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of white paper or company letterhead, second best type it out:

<Today's Date>

<Boss' First + last name>

<Boss title>

<Boss' department(optional)>

RE: Request for time off on <Name the three dates...such as ex: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, August 5,6,& 7th, 2008>

Dear <Boss' FIRST name>

On the above mentioned dates my wife will be recieving a big award at her company's annual 3 day meeting in Orlando. Spouses are invited and all expenses are paid.

I would like to take advantage of this opportunity.  Therefore, I am requesting to have these 3 days off and work the opposing weekends.

(Optional) <Show concern that your shift or work is covered or your boss is not excessively inconvenienced by this, such as "Our department/work load will still remain at a high level">

Thank you for your consideration.
