Dear/To [manager's name]

I would like to work from home today [date] on [name of project].

I would be grateful if you would approve my request and notify me of your decision as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Note that we don't say "on today", just "today".

Thanks for the reply. Does the Dear/To required ?

In my opinion, yes. I think starting a message just with someone's name is rather too abrupt.

 

[pissupoosa]

As he is a manager I will go with To rather than Dear like

To XXXXXX

 

[emsr2d2]

As he is a manager I will go with To rather than Dear like

To XXXXXX

Custom will dictate which you choose. "Dear" at the start of a letter in English doesn't have to have the same "endearment" quality that many people read into it. It's simply a salutation with no intimacy necessarily suggested. However, if it is unusual to address a manager in such a way in your own language, then "To" is a good choice and can't be misinterpreted.
