leave of absence

Dear Father Barcelon:

This is a letter regarding my  leave of absence, the reason for which has already been stated in my previous letter.  The nature for my leave is in no way a thing to be dealt with lightly since it has the  primary purpose of threatening a once peaceful life.  I took the initiative of protecting my life by temporarily leaving my job.  The threats however have not subsided but have gotten worse.

It is in this light that I  ask for your permission to grant me an indefinite leave of absence.  My primary concern is not for myself but for my family and the company.  I do not want to compromise any of the two so I deem it justly right to make known my intent.

I do hope you will consider my delicate situation.  Thank you and God bless!
