Request Letter for Extension of Maternity Leave from Work due to poor health of baby

Dear Sir/Madam,

I, sender’s Name, am on a maternal leave from the office which ends this week. Unfortunately, due to many unforeseen domestic issues I will have to request an extension for my leave.

With the grace of God, I have given birth to a beautiful daughter. She is a pre-mature baby therefore requires extra attention, and care. She has to be taken care of all the time, and as due to other excessive finances I will not be able to afford a full time professional baby-sitter for the time being.

Moreover, my husband had to leave on a business trip recently which got extended to 2 months. As my daughter is too young, and my finances are exhausted, I do not think I will be able to return to work on allotted time. I hope that the Office extends my leave without any salary deduction.

Yours Truly,

Dear Sir/Madam,

With due respect it is stated that I, Sender’s name, was given a maternal leave from ____ to ____(mention dates). I hereby inform you that due to some issues I will not be able to join my work at the given time.

Unfortunately, after my son’s birth my health has declined excessively.Even though, Alhamdulliah , my son is in great health, as per my doctor , I am not in a condition to work properly as my health does not allow me to do so.

Being a single mother, my job is the only way of income for me, and my son ,hence if I am not given a paid leave then I am not sure how will I be able to pay for all my expenses. I dearly request you to extend my maternal leave, and i promise to join as soon as I am healthy enough to do so. I anticipate that you will understand my critical situation. Hoping for a positive response from the office.

Yours Truly,
