correct my letter
TASK
You have had an accident and are in hospital. Write a letter to your college administration explaining why you will be absent from class for the next month. Ask for advice about how to continue your studies during this period.
Dear Sir/Madam,
(Should I introduce myself briefly here. Any suggestions?)
I am writing you to report my inability to attend classes next month.
On 12 February I was crossing a street and was suddenly knocked down by a speeding car.
As a result of this accident I was admitted to the hospital with a serious fracture of the right leg. Yesterday I had an osteosynthesis surgery. Dr. Smith, my attending doctor, says that I will have to stay in hospital for another two weeks. After my hospital stay I will have a two-week rehabilitation period in an outpatient clinic before I will be able to ambulate unassisted. That means that I will not show up in the classroom till 14 March.
I am particularly worried that I am forced by the situation to miss my class and would not like to fall behind my studies for the whole month. Therefore, I am wondering if you could be so kind to inform me about possibilities to continue my education during this period of time.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
……………….

This is a very nice letter. I would just change a couple of places; You will not be staying in an outpatient clinic during the rehab period, so it is wrong to say 'period in an outpatient clinic'. Re-work this a little.

- Also, you will not be able to walk unassisted - why did you choose ambulate?
- This is a word that is rarely used these days and it sounds odd.
