Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing regarding the
letter
I received about my absence from an exam last
week at the University of Albion. Firstly
, the reason that I couldn't assist with this
evaluation was due to
being extremely ill. I was feeling very unwell, with a fever, and slept the whole day to properly recover.
Secondly
I would like to deeply apologize for not informing you about my situation at the time and would like to do so now through Add a comma
Secondly,
this
letter
. I was home alone that day and had no one else to contact a physician or the school on my behalf. It wasn't until the next day when I was feeling a little bit better that I called the doctor
and was prescribed some flu medication, as well as
advised to stay in bed and rest for the next three days.
Even though I was told I would be emailed a doctor
's note to present at my school to justify my absence during these days but
the days passed and I never received said Correct word choice
apply
letter
. I just contacted my doctor
's office and was assured that they would be sending me the letter
today. As soon as I receive the doctor
's letter
I will send it to you.
Lastly
, I understand that by missing the exam I would have to retake the course next semester to pass it. But I was hoping due to
the reason for my absence being health-related, that the school could give me another opportunity to take the exam, since after all I have been preparing for it for the past two weeks. My student number is 31101.
Yours faithfully,
Lucy SmithSubmitted by lucia-piriz on
