Letter of Absence from School Due to Sickness


As a human being, sickness is inevitable. And when it comes, as a student, the proper thing to do is to take a leave from school in order to take care of your body. I believe you'll agree with me that education is nothing without health and life. In such cases, courtesy demands that you write an absence/leave letter to the school informing them of your predicament.
