Subject: Birth of our son, Noah

Dear HR Department,

It is with great pleasure that I am writing you this email. I want to let you know that my son, Noah, was born yesterday. His date of birth is May 10th. The delivery went well and both my wife and Noah are healthy. They are now resting well in the hospital. We are extremely happy and proud of our new son. It is a very special moment for our family.

Because of this happy event, I would like to request my statutory paternity leave. I would like my leave to start from this coming Monday. I will then be absent for a week. My colleagues have been informed and my manager has already verbally approved my request.

Could you let me know which documents you officially need for the administration? I can send you the birth certificate digitally.

Thank you very much for your help.

Sincerely,

Karim El Amrani
