Dear [Employer]:
I am the commanding officer of
[unit name], a Reserve Force unit in
[community]. One of your
employees, [first and last names], is
also a member of my unit.
This summer the United States Air Force will be
conducting a major military exercise at [location]. I am writing to request
that [rank and last name] be granted a leave of absence from
[company or organization name] to
participate in this exercise from [date]
to [date].
[Rank] [last name]
will be employed as [position or job] during the exercise.
[Brief description
of nature of duties, if appropriate.] This will allow
[him/her] to practice
[his/her] skills and
knowledge that have been acquired over during
[his/her] Reserve Force training. The skills and
knowledge will also be of direct benefit to your organization. I hope you will
view this request as
an opportunity to invest in [his/her] personal and professional development
which is, of course,
of interest to both of us.
If you have any concerns about the nature of
[rank] [last name]'s Reserve Force
service or the
exercise in which [he/she] will be
participating, please don't hesitate to contact
[me personally at
xxx-xxxx] [other designated officer (rank, name, position) at xxx-xxxx].
I would be grateful if you could advise me of your decision
as soon as possible so that we can
finalize our planning work. The Reserve Force relies on the excellent
cooperation of employers
such as yourself to permit reservists to serve their country through periodic
military activity. [Rank] [last name]'s participation
will benefit your organization and our country.
Sincerely,
[FIRST M.. LAST], [Rank], USAFR
