    Dear Mr Pattison, My parents are going to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on 14th December and I would request some unpaid leave from the office next month to prepare for the party and enjoy the occasion. The 50th wedding anniversary is a significant occasion both for our parents and us and we want to make it distinctive.
