When to use this letter

Use this for planned leave to attend a wedding or another family function, when the dates are known in advance. Schools are readier to grant it for a close relative, outside exam time, and when it is asked for early. If the dates fall on a test, ask in the same letter how the test can be made up.

Before you send it

Apply at least a few days before the leave starts. Planned leave should never be a surprise.
Say whose wedding it is. Schools give leave more easily for a close relative.
Do not ask for leave during exams or tests unless there is no other way. If dates clash, say so and ask what can be done.
A parent's signature or a copy of the wedding card helps if the leave is longer than three days.

What to attach

Copy of the wedding card (optional, for longer leave)

How to send or submit it

Give it to the class teacher a week or more ahead where you can, signed by a parent. In college, send it to the class in-charge or the head of department as your college requires. Ask a classmate to keep notes for you while you are away.

Mistakes that get it sent back

Applied for on the day before leaving, or after coming back.
More days asked for than the function and the travel need.
No word about tests, practicals or submissions falling in those days.
No parent's signature for a school student.
