N4 · 10 Honorific & humble basics

A polite way to say that you do something, as if you were given permission.

Causative te-form + いただく: 紹介させていただきます, 休ませていただきます. Very common in business. Use it when the listener's permission matters or the action benefits them. Overuse sounds heavy; plain 〜いたします is often enough.

Examples

Then, I will begin my presentation.

I will take a day off tomorrow, if I may.
