26th November 2020.

Respected Sir,
Sub: Requesting sick leave for five days.

I would like to request the authorities to grant me a sick leave for five days from 27th November 2020 to 2nd December 2020. I will be able to commence my duty from the 3rd of December.

The reason why I am requesting you this leave is my ill health. I was diagnosed with typhoid yesterday. I am not keeping well due to the same. I am experiencing a lot of weakness and need time to recover.

I will compensate for the missed classes when I commence my duty again. I hope you will understand and cooperate with me in my bad health. I will be grateful to you for the same.

Yours faithfully,
Jugnoo.
