[Sample] Letter Requesting Days Off for Religious Reasons 

A religious accommodation should ideally be requested in writing. This serves the critical goal of recording your request in the event of a disagreement. 

If you make your request through email, you should utilise the "confirm receipt" option to ensure that your employer is aware of your need for reasonable accommodation.

Give your employer enough notice of your request; if your business has standards in place for seeking leave ahead of time, make sure you follow them.

Above all, be open to other options and consider how your request for religious accommodation would affect your employer's business operations as well as your coworkers, especially if you work with fellow union employees. 

Remember, as previously indicated, that you may not be entitled to your chosen lodging, particularly if your employer's business requires a certain number of employees for specific hours. 

A desk employee, for example, may seek and be granted the privilege of starting and leaving work early on Fridays to keep the Sabbath. 

A store clerk or restaurant worker, on the other hand, maybe rejected such a request and instead be forced to change shifts owing to the employer's staffing demands during the busy nighttime hours.

Request for Additional Leaves for Eid/Holi

Respectfully, Sir,

I hope you are in good health. Sir, as you are aware, I requested leave for the Eid/Holi celebration, which falls on this (date), and you have granted me leave for only two days (Date). 

However, Sir, I would want two additional leaves on (day to date), since many of my relatives are travelling from their hometown to join me and my family in celebrating this event. 

So, if you could just give me two more leaves, I would be quite grateful.

I hope you will allow me to speak with you.

Thanks
