As you may already be aware, my wife and I are happy to be expecting our first child, due to be born in June. I am writing this letter to request a paternity leave of 4 weeks in order to care for my family, starting 8 weeks from now on May 26, 2022, until June 23, 2022. At the end of the 4 weeks, I will return to the office and resume my work normally.

I will endeavor to complete all currently unfinished projects between now and May 26, and put forth as much effort as possible into making up for lost time when I return to the office at the end of my paternity leave. I can be reached during my leave if any clarification is needed in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to leave a message for me via telephone at (555)-555-5555 or by email at [email] and I will get in touch with you as soon as possible.

I appreciate your assistance in this matter, as paternity leave will enable me to help my family transition into its new stage in a healthier way and allow me to be more focused on my projects when I do come back to work. Thank you for your consideration.

Yours sincerely,
