Asking for Sick Leave Written by Someone Else
December 8, 1999
Dear Miss Zhou,
Please excuse Ma Yuan's absence from school this morning. She coughed a lot and had a high fever last night and could not fall asleep until midnight. I felt it would not have been fair to the other children to allow her to attend classes. So I am writing this to ask you for two days' sick leave and let her resume her study if she feels better the day after tomorrow.
Yours respectfully,
Li Hua
【词语解释】
resume [ri'zju:m] v. 重新开始；再继续
【写法指要】
虽然代别人写请假条是他人托办的事，但不一定写“某某让我给某某请假”之类的话。这张请假条的笔者对这一问题就处理得很好，即以自己的口气说“让她来上课对别的同学不好”，既为病人请了假，也关心了他人的身体健康，写得非常巧妙。
