About this tool
Build a correctly formatted leave application for school, college or office, with an inclusive day count and a format checklist.
Leave Application Letter Generator assembles a leave application in the standard formal format — receiver's block, date, subject line, salutation, body, complimentary close and signature block — for a school, college or workplace. It counts the leave period inclusively, so 3 to 5 August is three days, and adapts the salutation and close to the recipient: a student writing to a Principal signs off 'Yours obediently', while an employee writing to a named manager uses 'Yours sincerely'. A checklist shows which parts of the format are present.
Open Leave Application Letter Generator on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Pick Applying to — School, College or university, or Office or workplace — and a Leave type such as Sick leave, Earned / privilege leave or Bereavement, then fill Your full name, the class or designation field and the institution or employer name.
Set First day of leave, Last day of leave and Date on the letter; tick Count working days only to exclude weekends, and Mention attached document if a certificate goes with the application.
Days of leave requested gives the inclusive count beside Calendar days in the period, Working days (Mon-Fri) and the generated Subject line; Your letter holds the finished draft for Copy letter, and Format checklist marks off which parts of the format are still missing.
Both the first and last day are counted, matching how leave is recorded on an attendance register.
Respected Sir/Madam with Yours obediently for school, Dear Sir/Madam with Yours sincerely at work — no mismatched pairs.
Shows at a glance whether the subject line, contact number, handover and attachment are all in place.
Receiver's designation and institution, the date, a subject line naming the leave and the exact dates, the salutation, a short body giving the reason and period, a complimentary close, and your name with class or employee number. The subject line is not optional in this format — it is what the office files the letter under.
Three days. Leave is counted inclusively, so both the first and last day are included; the arithmetic is (last date minus first date) plus one. If your employer counts only working days, weekends inside the period are excluded from the total but the calendar period stays the same.
Use 'Yours sincerely' when you address a named person and 'Yours faithfully' when you address a designation such as 'The Manager'. School students conventionally close with 'Yours obediently' when writing to a Principal.
That depends on your institution or employer's policy — many require a certificate only beyond a set number of consecutive days. Check your handbook or HR policy rather than assuming, and mention the certificate in the letter only if you are actually attaching one.
