Sick leave letter for fever
A sick leave letter for fever is a simple letter written to justify your absence from work. You could direct it to your manager as in the following example:
“Dear Sir/Madam, As I am suffering with viral fever I will not be able to attend the classes for next 4 days.
Please accept this request and kindly grant me leave from (start date) to (end date).
I also request you to excuse my absence for the School Day Practice during the mentioned period. Thank You.”
Sick leave for fever is not the only condition to get sick leave, you could also have an upset stomach, a head ache (migraine), vomiting or battling with stress (Stress leave), infinite medical conditions that could be used to write a sick leave.
However, sick leave or a sick note may be useful not only when you are working but also if you are ill and had an exam absence.
This type of letter should keep a professional and formal language, no matter if you are directing yourself to an elementary school principal, your class teacher or your boss.
Additionally, if we are sick with fever or any other temporary (or permanent) health condition, we would prefer staying at home recovering.
However, while some company policies and procedures are more flexible, always make sure to investigate and understand how to proceed when you are feeling ill.
Specially if they require you to hand in a sick note from you doctor.
Sample 1:
“To,
The Principal,
Name of school,
City, Postcode
Subject: Fever leave application
Respected Madam,
It is respectfully stated that I have been suffering from fever for the last three days and require leave for the remaining of the week. I tried to attend school despite my health since I understand that the School has a very strict policy regarding attendance, and I am also a vigilant student and never skip school for no rhyme or reason. But my health demands that I do so, it is unavoidable. I would b much obliged if you could grant me leave for the rest of the week till Friday.
Yours Obediently,
Your name”
Sample 2:
“To,
The Principal,
Name of school,
City, Postcode.
Subject: Leave Application due to fever
Respected Madam,
I beg to inform you that I have a high fever for past two days. I ate something unhealthy which disturbed my stomach and caused severe food poisoning which led me to high temperature and agitation. I have not been able to get up and do anything by my own self. It is causing severe headache and weakness. I am taking proper medication to recover from sudden temperature. The medicines doctor prescribed me are of high dosage, which makes me tired and drowsy. It is possible that it will take more two days to recuperate. I have to take a leave for two more days to get into better health and commence my work again. I will attach the prescription with the leave for assurance.
Therefore, it is my humble request to you to consider my situation and grant me leave for two more days. I shall be very thankful.
Yours Sincerely,
Your name”

My class teacher will see to my subject and I also informed my section head regarding my health and work. Kindly see to this matter and grant me the said leave so that I can enjoy the benefits of health once again in my life. I will be brimmed with gratification I f you consider my plea. Thank you.

Dear Mr.,Mrs.,
I am writing this letter to inform you of a medical issue which renders me unable to attend office. I am suffering from a severe migraine attack and my doctor has advised me 2 days complete bed rest to soothe my nerves which are causing constriction pain in my head and continuous nausea.
I am apologetic to apply for leave during this busy season. On the other hand, I had completed the report I was working on and will email the same to you shortly for your review. After leave, I will put in extra efforts to patch up the pending work.
I will be very thankful if you will grant me a two day leave of [DATE] and [DATE]. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
If you have any questions regarding my leave, please feel free to contact me directly. I will be available on phone: [T+00000000] and email: [email@email.com] in case of any query.

Yours sincerely,
