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,
