Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter to inform you about the reasons why I must take time off work.

Firstly, I would like to apologize for my sudden desire to take some time off. Honestly, I have had some problems with my health, to be precise, the vision problems for a couple of weeks. I am afraid of the consequences if I will be keeping on on that way. after all, health is not a toy. I presume it will take a week, as you know the medical checkup may last up to more than one day. I will only check up my condition and get my diagnosis sheet. I may present that my time off can put you in a difficult situation. however, I may offer you to hire my neighbour for this job instead of me. furthermore, he is currently looking for a job. in conclusion, I want to express my gratitude and hope for you a prompt response.

your faithfully,

Ellen.
