- I am sure this should work but you could be receiving more templates from other forum users. This below letter is an example as how your company will justify your absence (holidays)


- Need to be Company Letter headed sheet
- TO address
- Date
- Dear Sir/ Madam
- Re: Your full name (Mr.X)
- Mr.X is employed as an accountant (your designation) within the company, he commenced working with us on (Date) on a full time permanent contract

-He has requested annual leave from (From date - To date) to visit Europe for a holiday, he will return to work on (return date). The above dates comes under his annual holidays and are paid annual leave

- Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information.

Yours faithfully

(HR or administrator signature)

- This should be it


-----------------------------------------------

-- Incase if you want to request your previous employer,

-- Due to the changes in the rules (April 2013) for UK work visa holders in the Tier 1 General category which I come under, employees are requested to submit an absence leave letter from their holidays visited abroad justifying its a paid holiday.

FYI, while I was employed in your company I have visited abroad 5 times (Eg:) and all those 5 visits comes under my allocated annual holidays and were paid holidays. The dates are below for your reference

- 4 DEC 2009 - 12 DEC 2009
- 5 Oct 2010 - 14 Oct 2010
etc etc

As per the requirement by UK immigration authority, all PAID ANNUAL LEAVE has to be mentioned in the companys letter as PAID.

I am enclosing the relevant flight/ train ticket for your reference as well.

please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing from you.

I hope this helps

Thanks. Though I would not go so far as to call such people Sir/Madam.

Sir is a honorary title in the UK (as in Sir Richard)

I'm sure they look at our letters and feel even more important, important enough to make more rules.

I'd prefer a rather more vague "To whome it may concern", but that's just me.

Dear Sir/Madam is the standard form of address in correspondence when the surname or gender isn't known. However, I agree that in this case 'To whom it may concern' would be fine.
