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

Have you ever missed several days of work, university or school? How did you keep up with your work?
Yes. It happened when I was in school and felt sick. I used to ask my colleague about the lessons explained, then I was trying to study myself in order to catch up.
Yes, this summer I took a few days off to have a vacation. For some urgent tasks, I asked support from my colleagues to do. And other tasks, I would handle it after returning from my vacation. In fact, after coming back to my office, I'm quite overloaded to cope with the pending jobs. But then I listed up all the tasks and sort out which is important and urgent to prioritize. And finally, I could solve all of them
Yes I had, Back in college when I had a pneumonia I took 2 weeks leave from school, I was on a prolonged medication and was advised to stay in bed by the doctor. I informed my professor and request to have an extension for my projects. I had a friend whom I counted on, I was indebted to her for taking trouble of keeping me posted with schoolwork. If I hadn't for her, I would have flunked school miserably.
Yes, I missed class to attend for two week cause I have other exam for my career. My tutor helped me out to caught up my lesson when I return to class.
Yes, I missed 2 weeks of work cause I've got corona virus. When I returned back I wasn't in the formula, but by time everything becomes ok.
yes, ı missed one month of work when ı under the surgery for rhinoplasty. I couldn't go to work because ı had to rest that's why ı send an email and ı attached a doctor's certificate.
Yes, I've missed one week in my work because I was sick on the period of quarantine.
I think I definitely missed some classes at school or university, but I hated it, because you have to keep up with all the stuff on you own. As to work you have to give all the instructions and homework for a substitutional teacher on time. So I try to keep myself fit and have a work-life-balance that helps me to stay healthy.
Yes I did and I bring a certificate from a doctor to my boss
