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：缺席休假
我想知道我是否可以在三月二十三日到27的情况下，要求一个临时休假离开。
昨天我收到一封信，来自我的父母，他们都超过70，告诉我，一个大洪水发生在我的家乡，造成严重损害我家。作为我父母的独生子，我要回我的情况来评估，并帮助他们克服这些困难。虽然我不能在家呆太久，但我至少要安排修理工作。我相信我的亲戚在村里和我的邻居也会来帮忙。我没有困难。
我会在1:30p给你打电话。或者您可以随时打电话给我。
