Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a student of class six of your esteemed school. Most respectfully, I would like to bring to your kind attention that I am not in a position to appear in the first terminal examination scheduled to start from tomorrow.
I have been suffering from Typhoid for the last three days and our family doctor has advised me complete bed rest for at least a week for the same. Hence, I request you to grant me leave for a period of one week starting from [Date] to [Date] in order to recuperate from my ailing health. I also request you to kindly make an arrangement for the examination at a later date for me, considering my current state of health.
