Help me guys!
Please Please Please this is important! I want our company's office lady to understand my situation. I want to give her this resignation or a request letter. Can someone translate this long letter? Hehe Sorry if it has to be this long. And can you also make it sound very polite? I don't want her to get offended by this.

"I really need to be in the Philippines on my sister's wedding day which will be on January 20th next year and on the 5th week of January will be our family reunion. I need to be there in those two important occasions. It will be my first time to go back to my hometown after 2 and a half years of being away from my family. I miss my family so much and I really want to see them and bond with them for enough time. Everyone from our family will be attending, even relatives from abroad will come and I can't miss those occasions.

I understand that you already declined my request of a 2 weeks vacation but here I am again, appealing for you to grant my request. I will respect whatever will be your decision but If you really couldn't grant me a two week vacation, I guess I should have to leave this work because family is more important to me than my work. I'm sorry if it has to be this way. I hope you understand my situation."

i made slight changes to sound it better instead of directly translating it into korean and leave it awkward. hope you run a google translation or something to double check if you like it. it's just change the order of the sentence and where to cut, and i haven't created anything new. i don't know your sister is younger or older but if she's older then please switch the word 여동생 to 누나 : 저는 내년 1월에 제 여동생 결혼식에 참석하기 위해 필리핀에 2주간 다녀와야 합니다. 1월 20일 여동생 결혼식에 이어 1월 말에는 전 가족이 참석하는 모임이 있을 예정입니다. 가족을 못 본지 너무 오래되었는 데 이번에는 반드시 참석해야할 것 같습니다. 한국에 온지 2년 반이 넘었는데 그 동안 한번도 고향으로 돌아가지 못했습니다. 이번 모임에는 해외에 있는 먼 친척까지 다 모이는 자리라서 특히 저같이 오랫동안 가족을 못본 사람은 빠질 수가 없는 좋은 기회입니다. 2주간의 휴가는 너무 길다고 이미 한번 안된다고 하신 것은 알지만 다시 한번 간곡히 부탁드리겠습니다. 이번 모임은 제게 너무 중요해서 선택의 여지가 사실 없습니다. 어떻게든 방법이 있으면 좋겠지만 휴가가 안된다면 회사를 그만두는 방법 밖에 없는데 꼭 사정을 봐주시면 좋겠습니다. 부탁드립니다.
