Dear [RECIPIENT NAME],

I am writing to inform you of my pregnancy as well as my intention to take the maternity leave allotted to me by law. I intend to start my leave on [START DATE] and return to the office by [DATE 1], barring any unforeseen circumstances regarding my pregnancy and delivery.

I do, however, intend to make every attempt to complete all priority tasks before I start my leave. In my absence, I shall be delegating some of my tasks and responsibilities to [NAME], who has been working with me in my department,  for your convenience.

If there is any change in plans, I will let you know as soon as possible. Please let me know if you have any questions or clarifications regarding my maternity leave. You can contact me via [YOUR PHONE NUMBER] or mail me at [YOUR EMAIL ID]. I have attached along with this letter the required maternity leave form, as well as my medical certificate, which confirms my pregnancy.

I would like to thank you sincerely in advance for allowing me this time away from the office.

Regards,
