Formal Email for Maternity Leave

Subject: Request for Maternity Leave

Dear [Manager’s Name],

I hope you are doing well. I am writing to formally request maternity leave from [Start Date] to [End Date] as per the company’s maternity leave policy. My expected due date is [Expected Due Date], and I would like to ensure a smooth transition of my responsibilities before my leave begins.

I have prepared a detailed plan to delegate my tasks and will work closely with my team to ensure a seamless workflow during my absence. I am happy to assist in training a temporary replacement or handing over any critical tasks before my leave starts.

Please let me know if you require any additional documentation or formalities to process my leave request. I appreciate your support and understanding during this time. Looking forward to your approval.

Best regards,
