When one considers writing a vacation letter, he should decide exactly what type of letter he needs to write first. There is the vacation letter to one's employer, requesting time off so that he can go on vacation. This letter could say something to the effect that he has two weeks' vacation coming and would like to schedule it from July 7th to July 21st. He needs to give his employer plenty of
. time to make sure that the position is covered during the regular employee's absence. The employee requesting leave needs to make sure he puts his request in clear and formal terms.The other vacation letter is the kind one could write to let his family and friends know how his time off is going and how he is spending his time. It can cover the things he is doing along with the sights he is seeing. He could do this by sending a postcard which features a scene of the spot where he finds himself vacationing. The conscientious vacationer can take time out from lying on the beach or visiting popular, famous spots in the vacation area and dropping a few lines to the folks back home or to the coworkers who labor at the workplace while he is gone. Rather than writing something traditional and simple such as "wish you were here", he could include specifics about the hotel or vacation home where he stays or about famous landmarks in which friends and family might be interested. The writer wants to make the person receiving it feel that he is right there, vacationing with the writer and seeing the sights, hearing the sounds and smelling the smells that he experiences. If vacationing on the beach, the tourist could even describe the feeling of walking in the sand and feeling the sand and waves on his feet.
