　　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。
