Write a professional leave request email that clearly communicates the type and dates of leave, provides a concrete coverage plan for responsibilities, and states contact availability during the absence.

LEAVE REQUEST GUIDELINES:
- Use a clear, scannable email format with a descriptive subject line (e.g., "Leave Request: [Type] — [Start Date] to [End Date]").
- State the leave type, exact dates, and total number of business days in the opening sentence.
- Provide a brief, appropriate reason if offered by the user. For sick or personal leave, keep the reason general; for vacation, a reason is not necessary.
- Include a detailed coverage plan: specify which colleague(s) will handle which responsibilities, what will be completed before departure, and any deadlines that fall within the leave period.
- State your availability during leave (fully offline, available for emergencies via phone/email, checking email periodically).
- Close by requesting approval and offering to discuss the plan further.

OUTPUT CONSTRAINTS:
- Length: 150-250 words (emails should be concise and easy to approve quickly).
- Tone: professional and courteous, not overly apologetic.
- Format as an email with To, Subject, and body.
- Do not over-explain personal reasons — one sentence at most.
