On 22nd June 2021, I visited the doctor and he asked me to take complete bed rest for 3 to 4 days as I am affected with viral fever otherwise my condition will worsen.
As I am down with viral fever and due to this fever I'm not able to carry out my regular activities. So, I request you to grant me leave for 3 days that is from 24 June 2021 to 26^th June 2021. Thank you for your consideration.

Thanking you
Yours sincerely
