Deat Mr. Smith,
I’m sorry to tell you that I’m not feeling well today and had best not come to work. The doctor has told me that I have caught a bad cold and has advised me to stay in bed for a few days. Now I’m writing to ask for several sick leave days. I’ll come back to work as soon as I feel better.
I appreciate your understanding.
Yours truly,
WangYing
