Answer 1

Dear General manager,

I am writing to ask for leave for Spring Festival which is around the corner. I want to take holiday from 15 Feb. to 25,Feb.. My home town is faraway and it usually takes me 2 days to get home. Besides, as you may know it isn't an easy job to get a ticket during the holiday, so I need to ask for more holidays.

Thank you for your understanding and please kindly approve it.

Best regards,

xxx

Answer 2

Dear general manager,
Hi! As you know that Spring Festival is approaching, I would like to take four days off, which means three days before the holiday and one day after the holiday. To make myself clearer, let me put it this way: I will take my personal leave on Feb. 15 to Feb 17 and Feb. 25. The official holidays are from Feb. 18 to Feb. 24. I really need to set off earlier as my home is so far away that it takes at least four days for the round trip.
Thank you for your attention in this matter and I do appreciate that.
