参考答案：
Dear Mr. Wang,
I beg to apply for one week’s leave of absence from the A0th to the AFth instant, both days inclusive, so as to go home to see my mother, who is seriously ill in hospital.
To support my application, I herewith submit the text of a short message to that effect received from my father.
I shall very much appreciate it if you could approve my request. As far as the work to be held up due to my absence is concerned, I will try hard to compensate for it as soon as I get back.
Thank you for your attention.
Yours sincerely
Li Ming
