Dear Madam,

My son (name deleted by mod) could not attend the classes on 20th and 21st October 2005, since we was not well (suffering from fever).

Hence kindly grant him two days leave.

Thanking you.

Dear Teachers name, My son, *** XXXX, was absent on 20th and 21st Octover 2005, as he was unwell and had a high temperature/was running a fever. (Too late for them to 'grant' leave as he was already absent. You just need to notify the school that there was a good reason for absence.

  • Dear Teachers name, My son, *** XXXX, was absent on 20th and 21st Octover 2005, as he was unwell and had a high temperature/was running a fever.
  • (Too late for them to 'grant' leave as he was already absent.
  • You just need to notify the school that there was a good reason for absence.
  • One sentence usually covers it).
  • Thank you ('thanking you' is not British English style) Yours sincerely (use only if you have used the teachers name, if you wish to stick to Dear Madam, you need to sign off 'Yours faithfully')
