Dear [Supervisor's Name/HR Representative],
Please be informed that I am unable to attend work today, [Date], due to an unexpected illness. I have developed severe flu-like symptoms, including fever and headache, and my doctor has advised me to rest at home to recover and prevent spreading any potential infection to colleagues.
I have already consulted a medical professional and obtained a doctor’s note, which I will submit to the HR department upon my return. I expect to resume work by [Expected Return Date, e.g., tomorrow or a specific date], pending my recovery.
During my absence, I will ensure that urgent tasks are handled by [Colleague’s Name] who has agreed to cover my responsibilities. I will also remain accessible via email for any critical matters that may arise.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
