Sarah is writing a time-off request to her manager, but her first draft is way too casual! Drag the correct formal words to make her email polite and professional.

Dear Mr. Smith,

I am writing to request three days of annual leave next month.

I have attached the completed holiday form to this email for your review.

Thank you for your understanding regarding this matter.

I am writing to request three days of annual leave next month.

"Request" is a formal transitive verb that directly takes an object. If you used "ask" or "beg," you would need the preposition "for" (ask for three days).

I have attached the completed holiday form to this email for your review.

"Attached" is the correct professional terminology for including a file with an email. "Stuck" and "dropped" are far too casual and do not fit the digital communication context.

Thank you for your understanding regarding this matter.

"Understanding" acts as a noun here, forming a polite, standard business phrase. "Knowing" and "getting" are grammatically incorrect in this structure and sound very unnatural!
