Letter of Absence from Work Due to Illness
As humans, sickness is inevitable. And when it comes, the proper and reasonable thing to do is to take a leave from work in order to take care of our body as only the living pays the bills.
In such cases, professional etiquette demands that you write an absence/leave letter to your work place informing them of your illness and absence from work.
