Subject: Excuse for Work Absence Due to Sickness

Dear [Recipient's Name],

I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to formally apologize for my absence from work on [date of absence] due to an unexpected illness.

On the morning of [date of absence], I woke up feeling extremely unwell with symptoms of fever, sore throat, and body aches. I immediately took my temperature and it was 101.5°F. Realizing that I was not in a fit condition to come to work, I decided to stay home and rest.

I spent the entire day in bed, following doctor's instructions to get plenty of rest, fluids, and medication to manage my symptoms. As the day progressed, my condition did not improve, and I continued to experience high fever, weakness, and discomfort.

I understand the importance of my role and responsibilities at work and regret any inconvenience my absence may have caused to you, my team, and the company. I assure you that I am taking all necessary steps to recover and will provide a doctor's certificate upon my return to work.

I expect to be back in the office on [expected return date], fully rested and ready to resume my duties. However, if my health does not improve as anticipated, I will promptly notify you and provide an updated timeline for my return.

I appreciate your understanding and consideration during this unexpected situation. I remain committed to my work and will make up for any missed tasks or responsibilities as soon as I return.

Thank you for your support and empathy during this time. If you require any further information or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

[Your Signature]
