Dear
Sir: [or Madame – May use personal name
or last name with Mr./Mrs./Ms.]

I
am very thankful for my job with [INSERT
BUSINESS NAME] and enjoy the work I do here.

I
have recently become aware that the Bible historically used a method of
time-keeping different from the modern civil calendar, the Gregorian. As a Christian, I feel it is my duty to
observe the holy days that the Bible requires.
These are the weekly seventh-day Sabbaths, monthly New Moons and various
annual holy days.

The
months on the Biblical luni-solar calendar begin with the New Moon. Because the weekly cycle restarts every
month, this makes my seventh-day Sabbath appear to float through the continuous
weekly cycle of the Gregorian calendar.
I am requesting accommodation for my holy days.

In
exchange, I am willing to work weekends and national holidays. The days other people want off, I will
usually be available to work. I can also
work six days a week rather than five and can sign a waiver to forgo overtime. Alternatively, I could be paid for four days
of work and work five days per week. I
am willing to negotiate any reasonable adjustment in exchange for your
accommodation of my holy days.

I
have enclosed a page showing a comparison of the work days available on the
Gregorian calendar versus the luni-solar calendar. I can work a total of 42 additional days per
year than the average worker, even with all of my requested days off.

I
sincerely hope that a compromise can be reached that is beneficial to [INSERT BUSINESS NAME]. I enjoy so much my employment here and wish
to continue.

Sincerely
yours,
