I am writing a request to my manager and have drafted the last two sentences as follows.:
I trust in god and his judgement, and I trust that virtue lies in his bestowal and his prevention, and that is what encouraged me to write to you. May it finds your support and leniency.
I am wondering if leniency is a good word to use in this context. My purpose is to politely and somewhat deferentially appeal to the recipient's kindness, compassion, moral sense, etc.
This is not a question about whether it's appropriate to refer to "God," etc., in the social context, nor for strategic advice.
I wonder if kind-heartedness or another term might better express what I intend?
