Hi everyone,
I need a proper policy format for working from home for employees.
Every day, someone is working from home without prior notification, and managers want to take action on this issue. I need to draft a formal notice email. The policy will state that employees are allowed to work from home twice a month with managers' permission. If a third instance of working from home occurs without permission, it will be considered as a leave.
Thank you.

You have already told us what the rules are for your organization. Just write those rules in your email, emphasize the penalty for NOT complying with the rules, and then send it to the staff.
This does not need to be a complex email. You are not writing the great Indian novel, and you should not overthink things like this. State the facts clearly, unambiguously, and keep to the point. People will understand the rules more easily if you keep it simple.
Secondly, the managers are the people who should be enforcing the rules in their departments. Senior management should take action on that matter rather than dumping it on HR to fix.
Thirdly, what is URGENT for you is not urgent for us. We all have our own jobs and lives to be getting on with and are not in a position to drop everything and deal with your problems. It is inappropriate to demand others do something for you.
