Dear Mr. X
Greeting. Sorry to bother you at your busy hour. I have a question for you about the coming Summer holiday.
I want to know when is the first day of school for the next school year. Would it be the third Monday in August just like last year ?
I like to take a personal leaf on May 31st ( last day of school ) and June 1st ( the graduation day ). I must return home this summer because my mother is sick and will undergo an operation soon. If I leave before June 1st, I can save about $2000 on the airline ticket.
For courtesy sake, I do intend to ask you in person but Monday is a holiday and those discount tickets run out very quickly, that is why I propose my question and request through this email.
To help me secure a ticket, please give me a reply as soon as you read this.
Thank you.

Polite enough, no need for a closing paragraph.

把原文再看一看,想一想。其實你是在週末寫這一封信的,所以百忙中打擾這些客套話,看起來有點假,不如改成下面的說法。
Sorry to bother you on weekend when you supposed to rest.
