Dear Mr. Smith,

Due to the bad cold I got yesterday, I didn' t feel well and went to hos-pital. After the examination, the doctor suggested that I should have a rest for at least two days. Therefore, I' d like to ask for a leave of two days,starting from September 18 to September 19 and the doctor' s certificate is enclosed.

I will be very grateful if you can grant my leave of absence. As to the work to be missed during my absence, I promise to make them up when I come back.

Yours sincerely,

Wang Lin
