Subject: Parental Leave Notification — Sarah Chen
Dear Michael,
I'm writing to formally notify you of my intention to take parental leave following the birth of my child, expected on or around June 4, 2026.

FAQ
In the United States, most new parents need to handle five things: order the baby's birth certificate from your state's vital records office, apply for a Social Security number, add the baby to your health insurance (usually within 30–60 days of birth), register with a pediatrician, and file parental leave paperwork with your employer. FirstDays builds a personalized checklist of all five with suggested timing for your state.
Your personalized task list is free. A one-time $29 payment (founding price) turns it into a deadline guardian: email reminders before every window closes, deadlines that recalculate the day your baby arrives, and every letter and email drafted, signed, and ready to send. No subscription, and there's a 10-day money-back guarantee.
All 50 US states plus Washington D.C. Each task links to your state's official agency page, and parental leave guidance includes state paid-family-leave programs like California PFL, Washington PFML, and New York PFL where they exist.
No. FirstDays never asks for or stores SSNs. You enter that information directly with the Social Security Administration when you file. Payments are handled entirely by Stripe, so we never see card numbers either.
After a short intake, FirstDays drafts each document for you — like a parental leave letter addressed to your HR contact or a birth certificate request letter to your state's vital records office — signed with your name and ready to review, send, or download as a PDF. You always review before sending.
The deadlines are real. The writing doesn't have to be hard.
