request for time off

[ruth666]

Please check for grammar errors in this paragraph. I am writing the below for my friend. Thank you.

I want to give you a heads up. I am waiting for a surgery date from the hospital. I was told the waiting period is about four to six months. Once the date is confirmed, I need two to three weeks to prepare for admission. My doctor said I would be off work for about six weeks after surgery. In view of this, I would like to request for two months off work. I have enjoyed working at your company for three years and wish to continue working there. I would be appreciative if you could approve my request. Please keep my surgery matter confidential Thank you.

Your opening is too informal. Otherwise it looks OK.

I'd change "Please keep my surgery matter confidential" to "Please keep this matter/information confidential".
