absence
from the final exam
of my corporate finance class.

absence
is 23567.
First and foremost, I wish to apologize for my absence
. Furthermore
, I am very sorry that I failed to submit the evidence for my absence
in a timely manner.
I have been hit hard by COVID in the past week, suffering from a high fever and feeling acute muscle pain. My symptoms got so bad last
Thursday that I had to go to a doctor. Per the doctor's suggestions, I was hospitalized for three days, during which I had limited access to my laptop and student email. Therefore
, I was not able to inform you about my situation. Nor was I able to email you materials related to my absence
.
Attached please find the positive COVID test results I had on the exam
day. The results were from both at-home tests and PCR tests at my neighbourhood clinic. I have also
attached my hospitalization records signed by Dr Kohn from the Stanford Medical Center.
As for potential resolutions, I am wondering if it is possible for me to retake the exam
on another day?
I understand re-arranging an Change the punctuation

Structure your letter
A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:
- A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
- The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.
All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
