Dear [Recipient's Name],
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you that I am unable to attend work due to
illness. I have been diagnosed with [specific illness or condition] and my doctor has advised me to take
some time off to recover.
I understand the inconvenience this may cause and I apologize for any disruption to the workflow.
However, my health is of utmost importance, and I believe it is necessary for me to take the time to rest
and recuperate fully before returning to work.
I will provide all the necessary documentation, such as a medical certificate, upon my return to validate
my absence. I will also keep you updated on my progress and provide an estimated date of return as
soon as I have more information from my healthcare provider.
During my absence, I would appreciate it if you could assign any urgent tasks or responsibilities to a
suitable colleague or delegate them to someone who can handle them effectively. I am confident in the
abilities of my team members to maintain the workflow smoothly in my absence.
If there are any specific procedures or forms that need to be completed for the sick leave, please let me
know, and I will ensure they are taken care of promptly.
I will be available via email or phone if there are any urgent matters that require my attention or if you
need to reach me for any reason.
Thank you for your understanding and support during this time. I look forward to returning to work as
soon as I am fully recovered.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
