Formal Request Email to your boss

A request to your manager is easier to act on when it specifies the requested decision, the reason, and any relevant deadline.

Making a request easy to approve

Name the exact decision you need, give the reason in one sentence, include the date, and show that coverage is handled. Approving a well-specified request takes seconds; a vague one starts a thread.
