請假大概是職場Email當中最常見的形式，雖然相較之下，用通訊軟體告知既省時又方便，但寄一封請假Email不僅可以作為日後核假程序的書面依據，也是對上司或主管的尊重。
錯誤範例
To: wandamaximoff@email.com
Subject: Sick Leave (1)
Dear Ms. Maximoff,
I’m going to take a few days off (2) because I got a terrible flu and I can’t get out of bed (3). Thank you (4).
Best Regards,

錯誤(1) Email主旨除了假別之外，寫上姓名及日期可以讓主管收件時快速得知請假人及請假的日期。
錯誤(2) 雖然有時候病假可能是當天的突發狀況，主管也通常會核准，但還是避免使用「命令式」的語氣，且應該寫明需要請假的日期及天數。
錯誤(3) 信件內必須陳述請假的理由，但不需要太詳盡，若能主動說明願意提供相關證明會更妥當。
錯誤(4) 信件最後可以感謝主管的體諒，但只有簡短的thank you會讓人覺得有些草率，另外也可禮貌性地為工作上帶來的不便而致歉。
正確範例

Dear Ms. Maximoff,
I would like to take three days off because I got a terrible flu and won’t be able to make it to work today. I’ll be available to answer emails if you need urgent help, and I will be back in office on Friday, April 16th.
I can provide written documentation from my doctor if necessary.
Thank you for understanding, and I apologize for the inconvenience.
Regards,
Vision
