 　　A note to ask for sick leave.
March 17th 2003
Dear Mr John,
I am sorry to tell you that I can't go to school. I haven't been well since¹ this morning and my mother took² me to the hospital. After taking my temperature³, the doctor said⁴ that I was⁵ having a high fever and had⁶ a bad cold. He told me to take some medicine⁷ on time, drink more water and stay in better for two days. I am worrying about my lessons I've missed. Would⁸ you pls help me with my lessons when I come back to school?
Best wishes to you!
Yours.
