Dear Sir/ Ma’am,

This is to inform you that my wife is in her final stages of pregnancy and is due to deliver by the end of this month.

She has been facing some minor complications and has been unwell for the past few days. As we do not have parental support at this time, I need to stay with her until she delivers, and for the next few weeks after delivery.

I, therefore, request you for paternity leave for a period of {No. of days} days, beginning from {start date}.

I have approached Mr./Ms. {enter name} to take care of all the important pending tasks, and he/she has very kindly agreed to take over my job responsibilities until I return.

In case I am able to return from my leave earlier than the expected date, I will inform you in advance.

I request you to sanction my leave at the earliest.

Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
{Sender’s Name}

Dear Mr./ Ms. {Recipient’s Name},

I hope you are doing well.

This letter concerns my application for paternity leave, as my wife’s due date is nearly here. As this is our first baby, I am excited to remain by her side during the last stages of her pregnancy, and for a few weeks post the arrival of the baby.

As per company policy, I am entitled to {number of days} days of paid paternity leave. I would, therefore, appreciate it, if my leaves between {start date} and {end date} are adjusted towards my allotted paternity leave.

I have completed my responsibilities towards my current project well in advance so that the delivery of the project does not get delayed in my absence. In case any further inputs are required from my end, I will be available at {enter contact information}.

I look forward to your authorization of this leave as soon as possible.

Warm regards,
