Thank you. When my mother died and I ask my boss to take a compassionate leave, I said in Japanese, "身内に不幸がありまして」.
Then, I had a question, "In America, do they have that phrase?"
I thought maybe Americans don't use this praise. But Americans have similar phrases.
By your answer I understand you don't have that kind of phrase. Thanks a lot.

For formality, we just write a bereavement leave letter and give it to the president... :)
