which one is correct

please allow me to leave from abc to xyz

or

please allow me leaave for 5 days
thanks for your help

[asterix]

please allow me to leave from abc to xyz is better because the person to whom you are writing needs to know exactly when you will not be there.

[muni]

actually I wanted to know whichone is correct

allow me to leave form abc to xyz
or
allow me leave from abc to xyz

[obelix]

Apart from typos, both are correct.

Muni, if you are wondering why both are correct, it is because "allow me leave from abc to xyz" uses the word "leave" as a noun. In that case, it means "permission to do something," and is often used in the context that you presented--getting permission to be away from work or some other responsibility.
