Dear Richmond,
Re. Maternity Leave
As you are aware that I am pregnant and the baby is due in third week of July 2012 and thus I wish to avail my maternity leave from the week starting from 16th July 2012. I have not taken any annual leave and my annual leaves are still available to me totally and I wish to add the same to my maternity leave. I have enclosed the requisite form as per the rules for your perusal and action.
I also wish to avail my full maternity allowance for the period. I shall avail full maternity leave till 5th September 2012 and want you to confirm if you accept the date of rejoining. If I wish to return to work sooner, I am aware that I have to inform you of the same. Also, if I am late in rejoining work due to any reason, I shall inform my reasons.
I sincerely hope to hear from you at the earliest regarding confirmation of my maternity leave and rejoining date.
Thanking you.
Yours faithfully,
Heather Smith
