Preparation
From: Jameela Lee
To: Professor Kim Hart
Subject: Absence from class for two weeks
Attached: doctor's_certificate.pdf
Dear Professor Hart,
I'm writing to let you know that I can't attend class for two weeks as I've had an accident and hurt my back. I'm afraid I also need to ask for an extension for next week's essay.
I have medicine for the pain but I can't get up or walk around much, and the doctor said I should stay in bed and rest as much as possible. This makes reading and studying very difficult for me at the moment. I've attached a copy of the doctor's certificate and I hope to be back in class from 12 May.
Until then, my friend is going to record the lectures so I can listen to them at home. I will try to catch up with all the reading too. However, I don't think I can submit the essay next week. Is it possible to have an extension?
Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,
Jameela

Dear Professor Silva,
I am writing to inform you that I will not be able to attend class this week because I had an accident and my motorcycle broke down. Unfortunately, I also need to request an extension for this week's essay.
I am fine, but I cannot go to school due to this unforeseen event.
My friend is going to record the classes so that I can listen to them at home. I will try to read everything as well. However, I do not think I will be able to submit the essay this week. Is it possible to have an extension?
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Silva,
I am writing to inform you that I will be unable to attend classes for ten days as I am undergoing nose surgery. I am afraid I will also need to request an extension for next week's essay.
The doctor advised me to stay in bed and rest as much as possible. This makes reading and studying quite difficult for me at the moment. I have attached a copy of the medical certificate, and I hope to return to class starting from October 18th.
In the meantime, my friend will record the classes so I can listen to them at home. I will try to catch up with the readings as well. However, I don't think I will be able to submit the essay next week. Is it possible to get an extension?
Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,
Lucas.
Have you ever missed several days of work, university, or school? How did you keep up with your work?
I was ill and could not attend my office for some days so I gave a doctor's letter in the office to leave me for 5 days. That was a tough time because I was fragile in those days due to that disease. Fortunately, the office accepted my request and my other colleague continued my work until I recovered.
In my line of work fortunatelly I’m able to do home office work or remote work, so if some day
I need to stay at home and can’t get to my office to do my regular work, normally I notify that to my
manager and we agree that I’ll be doing some remote work until I can get back to the office.
Thanks for the lesson.
Great site!
I have missed several days of work because of COVID-19. Until I get a negative test, I can come back to work. I used to ask my colleague about the situation at the workplace, then I tried to catch up.
its really good that you did not give up as we all know ,how hard it is to deal with covid-19 .take good care of your self and get well soon.i hope to see you soon on work.
Yes,I missed several days in my school time.For example,I had trip with my family in Egypt,so my frinds studied and I rested.I didn't do my homework during our trip.
