You work as a clerk in the personnel department. For the past six years you have taken your
vacation in the usual summer months. This year, however, your sister is getting married and
you will need to travel out of town and would like to take your two week vacation in October.
You are aware that vacation leave is not normally granted at this time of year, but feel your
reasons are valid. Write a memo to your unit head, Mr. Roberts, to inform him of your
situation and request your vacation for October.
