Dear Hedley Ingram,
In response to your monthly production increase demand, I would like to request your approval for an increase in the team members.
In the last review, you showed your dissatisfaction regarding the output of my team. Following that, I carried out an internal assessment for pinpointing the root cause. It has been found that even by increasing the number of working hours, optimum results are not obtained. Thus, the only other way is to hire two more [job position].
I strongly recommend the increase in the number of team members and request your approval for the same. It will improve productivity and output.
I eagerly await your response.

Dear Malcolm Long,
I am requesting for a 1-week leave from tomorrow because of my ill health. I have been under the weather for ten days, and when my health did not improve, I finally decided to go to the doctor yesterday.
I tried managing my health so that it does not affect my work, but yesterday my doctor advised me total bed rest for five days. The doctor assured me that whatever I have is no contagious, and so none of my colleagues are at risk.
I have talked to [name] for helping out here while I am on leave. I will be starting my leave tomorrow because if I do not do so, it may lead to the further detriment of my health.
Hoping a positive response.
Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
Raymond Levy
