How do I write a leave application to my manager?

Address it to your manager and give the type of leave, the exact dates, a one-line reason, who will cover your work and how to reach you, then ask for approval. Keep it to a few short paragraphs and send it before the leave starts, as your company's leave policy asks.

What should I give as the reason for leave?

One honest sentence is enough: a family function, an illness, a medical appointment or personal work. You don't have to share medical details. For sick leave of more than a few days, many companies ask for a doctor's certificate.

Can I send a leave application by email?

Yes. Use the subject line as the email's subject, paste the letter as the body and copy anyone your leave policy names, such as HR. Many companies take leave requests through their HR software instead, where the manager approves them in one click.
