Dear [Professor]:
I am the commanding officer of [unit name],
a Reserve Force unit in [community].
One of your
students, [first and last names], is
also a member of my unit.
Americans are justifiably proud of the contribution the United States Air Forces
have made
and continue to make to international peacekeeping missions. The men and women
of the United
States Air Forces have contributed to nearly every United Nations peacekeeping
mission since1947.
[Rank] [last name] has an opportunity
to participate in [UN mission name] in
[location] as a
[position]. [Brief
description of nature of mission or operation, if appropriate, especially if it
domestic or local to the educator's community.]
I am writing to request that you consider granting
[him/her] special leave from [his/her]
[classes]
[academic program] to undertake this important activity.
[His/her] period of absence would be
from [date] to
[date], which allows time for
refresher training before the mission plus a well-deserved rest period at the end of what will be a physical and emotionally
challenging time.
[Rank] [name] has been an active
member of this unit for [number]
years. [His/Her] selection for
this mission is a demonstration of the skills and qualifications
[he/she] has acquired during
[his/her] reserve service. During the
mission [he/she] will be responsible for
[brief description of
duties, especially those that will be of benefit and interest to a civilian
educator and that will
benefit the reservist's future civilian career. Use civilian terminology.]
I hope that you will also see this as an opportunity to contribute to the United
States Air Force as
well as international peace and security. In addition, this activity represents
an opportunity to invest in [his/her]
personal and professional development, which is, of course, of interest to both
of us.
I hope that you will give this request your favorable consideration. In order
for proper
administrative details to be completed, I look forward to receiving your
response as soon as
possible. In the meantime, please call me directly at
[xxx-xxx-xxxx]
[other designated officer (rank,
name, position) at xx-xxx-xxxx] if you have any questions about
[rank] [name]'s reserve service,
training or this United Nations mission.
Thank you for continued support of [rank]
[name] and the United States Air Force. Please contact
me directly at xxx-xxx-xxx if you wish
to discuss any aspect of [his/her]
Reserve Force service.
Sincerely,
[FIRST M.. LAST], [Rank], USAFR
