I'm drafting a mail to my team informing them that I'm taking leave on some day and that I want to know if this will create problems or friction in working.

I used

I’ll will be taking leave on June 18th (wednesday), please let me know if this might cause any inconvenience to business operations.

I'm not sure if this is correct, as the word 'might' seems out of order. I replaced it with could, will, and can, but I'm still not sure which to choose.

  • I'd go with would or will in there instead.

  • Also, start out with "I will" instead of "I'll will."

    Either I'll or I will, but not both, since "I'll" is a contraction of "I will".

  • Also, are you leaving temporaily (as for a vacation) or permanently? I think "take leave" denotes a long time. If you're just going on holiday, say "I'll be leaving for vacation on June 18". Finally, Americans usually say "June 18", not "June 18th".

I think a more assertive and professional tone would be:

I will be out of office on June 18th ( Wednesday). Please let me know if it causes any inconvenience to business operations. If such is the case, I can plan a different date.

Or if you need that leave urgently and can not alter it under any circumstances, then do not leave the matter open for discussion. It should be something like this:

I will be out of office on June 18th ( Wednesday). For urgent matters you can get in touch with me at (your mobile number).
