Dear ...

Dear Employer (of my hubby),
I'm writing to officially express my concern on your delayed response to approving my husband's leave.

You see, my husband has been a loyal and hardworking employee of your company for the last 6 years. He hardly takes annual leave for our family vacation as he treats his work as his number one wife. So you see, I am indeed, number 2. But this doesn't stop me from asking you to consider the leave request as I feel that his family needs him badly now, as in his presence at home, with undivided attention (and no international con-calls please..). Such leave would be beneficial for children's well being as well as his wife's requirement for TLC.

I am not asking much, just a few days off from work as he has not been back here in his home country for more than 3 months already. I am sure you would also understand that this kind of arrangement is not healthy to our relationship. Please do remember we do not take up your offer for transfer as you never provide education allowances for all our children. Hence I believe denying him of his leave entitlement would encourage me to file a lawsuit against your company soon. Again, I am reminding you that I do have a pool of talented lawyer friends.

I urge you to please approve the leave request immediately as the flight home is less than 2 days time. In the mean time, you may also consider picking up the bill for this trip as he is entitled for two trips home annually (and also please throw in an iPhone 4S or two, to be justified as peace offerings for causing harm to our relationship).

I thank you for the time taken to read this letter. More importantly I am thanking you in advance for approving the request. Your cooperation in making sure our family gets our deserved family time is much appreciated.


Thank you,


Yours sincerely,

The attention-deprived wife.
