Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name:

I would like to request a leave of absence for medical reasons. I will be having hernia surgery on September 1 and expect to return to work approximately three weeks later.

I can provide written documentation from the surgeon, if necessary.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Your Signature
