File your Maternity Leave Letter early, so it will give your employer enough time to get things in order before you leave the job for this short period. Here's a sample Maternity Leave Letter:
Dear Sir,
I am due on October and I would like to apply for my maternity leave now. I will be on leave starting September 29- October 8, 2012. I will resume all my duties upon my return on October 9, 2012. For the mean time, you may ask Clara for all things concerning registry and inventory. Enclosed are my maternity leave form and OB-GYN certificate.
Thank you very much
Sincerely,
Amy Platz
