Annual Leave Application Format
Annual leave requests are approved on cover, not on reason. Give the dates, confirm your balance covers them, and name the colleague picking up your work — that is the whole decision from your manager's side.

Common questions
How far in advance should I apply for leave?
Planned leave usually needs one to four weeks' notice depending on company policy and how long you will be away. Sick and emergency leave is notified as soon as you reasonably can.
Do I have to give a reason for leave?
For annual leave, generally no. For sick, emergency or statutory leave you may need to state a category — but not private medical detail.
Who should I address it to?
Your line manager, with HR copied. HR records the entitlement; your manager approves the cover.
