"Please be informed that the applicant's father has informed the applicant through telecommunications that he intends to visit prospective brides on the applicant's behalf. The applicant has been employed in the police force for nearly three years now and has not yet entered into wedlock. Moreover, suitable matrimonial proposals for those working in police are also scarce. Therefore, the applicant has encountered significant difficulty in finding a suitable match.

Furthermore, the applicant's age for marriage is approaching its final stages. Hence, the applicant respectfully requests you to kindly grant an unplanned leave of 5 days, commencing from September 3, 2023. Your benevolent consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated."
