Question

2. Your friend could not attend school for a month due to an illness. During that

time, your school held its Annual Day function. Write a letter to your friend

describing the celebration, your role in it and telling him/her why he/she was

missed. Ask about his/ her recovery and when he/ she would be able to attend

school again.​

Answer 1

Subject: Application for leave from attending the school and examination.

With profound regrets, I write this to express sincere apology for my inability to attend my classes and the examination to be held today.

(You can explain the circumstances that made you miss the examination. Some examples are given for guidance).

I have been running temperature, accompanied by cough and sore throat—ominous symptoms of Covid-19—since last evening. I have made an appointment with the hospital for coronavirus test.

I am laid up in the bed with fever and cold from the last afternoon, with body temperature rising up to 102° Fahrenheit.

I attended a gala birthday party of a friend and, I'm ashamed to say, couldn't hold back myself from overheating. The result was disastrous—-frequent trips to the toilet and intermittent loud sounding flatulence. I couldn't risk the embarrassment it could cause in the exam hall.

I once again offer my apology and request you to grant me leave of absence for today/2 days/3 days and excuse me from attending the examination/s.

(If the school authority requires a note from the doctor, you should attach or promise to submit it at a later date).
