![LEAVE OF ABSENCE REQUEST FORM. Dear [blank], please grant [blank] temporary leave to aid in resolving the unfolding situation in Manhattan. Due to the currently unknown nature of what will be required of them, they may be absent for some time, and we request that you grant them leniency. It is of the utmost importance that they are able to complete their assignment swiftly, confidentially, and without obstruction. As such, we kindly ask that you do not attempt to contact them during their absence, nor question them once it has concluded. Your understanding is appreciated at this time. Sincerely, Acting Co-Director Emily Pope](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4nci4ly3xu3nau7hzr373bte/bafkreiarrsla4jx67olyiaglqgywpj45mwdlciailtzy6igbe42sus2wqa)
