Re: Maternity Leave Application

Dear [Manager/HR Name],

I am writing to formally apply for maternity leave, as per company policy, commencing on [Start Date]. My expected date of delivery is [Expected Date], and I anticipate returning to work around [Tentative Return Date].

I have attached my medical certificate confirming the expected delivery date. I am happy to discuss handover of my responsibilities to [Colleague Name, if applicable] before I go on leave.

Please let me know if any further documentation is required.

Thank you,
[Employee Name]
