Help me request vacation!

Apparently people around here have been taking vacation and not reporting it, so now we have to request vacation time in writing and include a filled-in timecard!

Yeesh!

I have already asked for one day of vacation for next week, but I want to passively assert my incredulity by submitting a long and formal letter to request a single day of vacation.

Help me write this letter!

If it helps, I am taking off Thursday Aug 10, in order to take my dying grandfather to the Jelly Belly factory.

I am sure that, working together, we can come up with something truely Dilbertian.
