Paternity Leave Letter from Employer

Dear Human Resources,

I'm officially filing my request for Paternity Leave from October 15-30, 2015. My wife will be having her elective C-section on October 14 at St. Bridget's Hospital and I really need to be by her side. Attached are her medical documents. Please notify me when my paternity leave is approved.

Thanks,
Richard

Now that my official Paternity leave is coming to an end, expect me to return to work on Monday (July 2, 2012). I truly appreciate the company's support on the matter.

Emergency Paternity Leave Letter

When your wife goes into distress and makes an early delivery, time to retract that paternity leave letter and file a new one.

Dear Sir:

I am requesting my Paternity Leave rather early than my scheduled and approved leave of April 2010.

My wife has gone into labor and an emergency C-section was made by her OBgyne this morning. Please see attached the Doctor's Letter. I will not be reporting for work the next few days to take care of my wife and child. I will be on leave from March 15 to March 30.

Julia Hemsfield from Accounting has agreed to cover my auditing duties for the client this week. For any other concerns I may have left unaddressed, you may call me directly.

Kind Regards,
John Thomas
