Dear (name),
In relation to maternity leave, I wish to notify you that the expected date of my confinement is 11th March 2006. I have enclosed a doctor's report, which confirms my pregnancy and states the presumed date of my confinement.
I wish to commence maternity leave on the 6th March thru to 31st March 2006 inclusive, and then take the 3rd April to 21st April 2006 inclusive, as annual leave. I will be the child�s primary carer during this period, as (DH) will not be taking any parental leave. Leave dates hinge on our childcare arrangements, but I will advise of any changes with 14 days notice prior to return-to-work date. My intention is to return to work on the 24th of April 2006.
The leave I am applying for is no more than 52 weeks.
Kind regards,
(Me)
