Semi-formal letter

You are working for a company. You need to take some time off and want to ask your manager about this.
Write a letter to your manager.
• Suggest how your work could be covered while you are away.
In this exam task, the audience is your manager and therefore you should use a semi-formal style as you are writing to a person you know, but not very well.
Tip#1 Semi-formal letters are sent to people that we do not know well. They are more polite than an informal letter and are written in a neutral style, not too formal nor too informal.
Tip #2 It is important that you do not omit the opening and closing statements.
How you open your IELTS Semi-Formal letter depends on the reason for the letter. It is best to open the letter with a short explanation for the purpose of the letter and end it with a request for action that relates to it.
Opening Statement
For example, if you are writing to ask for some time off work then you can begin with the request directly:
Dear Mr Jones,
I am writing to request a few days of unpaid leave in March.
Try to paraphrase the exam question and do not just copy it or words from it.
Closing statements
I would be very grateful if you could allow me to take these four days off as it is very important to my parents that I attend and I would appreciate it if you could let me know by the end of the week.
Tip #3 Paragraphs and Structure
You must organise your Semi-Formal letter into 4-5 paragraphs including the opening and closing statements. Before you begin writing spend some time deciding how you will effectively structure the letter.

You are working for a company. You need to take some time off and want to...
