Subject: Casual Leave of Absence
John, I would like to know if I could ask for a casual leave of absence from March 23 to 27.
Yesterday I received a letter from my parents, who are both over 70, telling me that a big flood took place at my home village, causing serious damage to my house. As the only son of my parents, I should of back to assess the situation, and help them to get over these difficulties. Though I cannot stay at home for too long a time, I should at least make arrangements for repair work. I believe my relatives in the village and my neighbors will also come to help. Financially I have no difficulties.
I will call you at 1:30p.m. or you can call me at any time.
主题：事假
约翰，我想知道如果我可以问一个休假从三月二十三日到27。
昨天我收到我父母的来信，他们都70多岁了，告诉我，一个大洪水发生在我的家乡，造成我的房子严重损害。由于我父母唯一的儿子，我要回去，以评估局势，并帮助他们克服这些困难。虽然我不能在家里呆的时间太长了，我至少要安排维修工作。我相信我在村里和我的邻居的亲戚也会来帮忙。我没有在财政困难。
我会在下午1:30给您打电话。或者您可以随时打电话给我。
