To
Steve Richards
Manager
Food World
Bangalore
Date: dd/mm/yyyy
Subject: Letter of absence
Sir,
I could not attend work on May 2nd because of food poisoning. I had been to dinner the previous night with family and friends. Though the food served was delicious, I presume it was stale and unhygienic. I started feeling nauseated a few hours after dinner and became dehydrated. Soon I was admitted to the hospital. I was very sick and forgot to inform at work. But in the afternoon, I started recovering and informed one of my colleagues Thomas Albert to assume my role on the day and complete all important tasks.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you due to my unexpected absence. I want to compensate for my working hours by attending office on a weekend.
Thanks,
(Signature)

How letter of absence is important?
While at office or in college, you have to notify your absence on any day. If you are immediately unavailable for a day or more, everyone is searching for the reasons. Your professor in college knows how important certain lecture is and you need a valid reason to explain your absence. Through the letter of absent, you can convince him with a good reason.
At work, you are supposed to inform your supervisors early, if you are unable to attend work any day. This allows them to engage another employee to manage the important tasks handled by you. If you are absent without notice, the work is sure to suffer. You may have to request your colleagues to manage your tasks for a day or more. But remember to send a letter of absent to your reporting officer as soon as it is possible.
