Leave Application Format

One of the ways of requesting a break from some organization you work is the leave application. The students of college mostly follow the rules of college when they want to take a break from college. Moreover, they mostly write an application for leave. However, you have to write the reason for which you need the break in an application. Additionally, you also have to make sure that the organization or college accepts your leave application. 

Your request for leave will not be rejected if you write a valid reason for the leave in your application. Especially, if you are taking leave for some personal cause like, sickness, some important work or staying with your sick parents at home.  

The leave application must contain authentic, relevant and appropriate information. While writing a leave application you must be careful about grammatical and punctuation mistakes and avoid them. The application should not be written in an informal way. Somehow it should be in a formal and official manner.
