Dear [Employer]:
As you may be aware, in addition to being an
employee of [company name], I am also
a member
of the Reserve Force, serving with [unit
name] in [community]. As such,
I have recently been
asked to participate in a United Nations peacekeeping mission in
[location] as a
[position].
[Brief
description of nature of mission or operation, if appropriate, especially if it
domestic or local to
the employer's community.]
Reservists such as myself serve in the United States
Air Force, usually on a part-time basis. It
would be my wish to be able to say yes to this offer of short-term, full-time
service. However, as
this is a 10-month tour of duty, I could do so only with your consent. I
therefore request special
leave without pay to participate in this peacekeeping mission with the Unites
States Air Force.
The dates of my absence would be from
[date] to
[date]. I would not hesitate to say
that the skills
and knowledge I will gain from such a unique experience represent a once in a
lifetime
investment opportunity for personal and professional development. It is also an
exceptional
opportunity to contribute to America's international peacekeeping efforts.
If you would like more information on this peacekeeping
mission or the Reserve Force in
general, I would be happy to discuss this further with you. You may also contact
[rank, name,
position of Commanding Officer or designate at xxx-xxx]. [I thank you for the
support you have
given me in the past and hope you will give this request serious consideration.]
Sincerely,
[FIRST M.. LAST], [Rank], USAFR
