Dear Ms. Clayton,
This letter is to inform you that I will be taking two weeks of sick leave from August 5 through August 19, as I am currently unable to come in to work due to having contracted influenza. My doctor has advised that I take this leave to rest, recover and avoid spreading the illness in the office. Please see his note enclosed with this letter. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by this leave and look forward to being able to return to the office as usual once I have sufficiently recovered.
I will complete my current projects from my home when possible and send them in to the office by fax. Once I return to the office on August 19, I plan to put forth as much effort as possible to make up for the lost time. I can be contacted during my leave if there are any questions or concerns. Please feel free to leave me a message by phone at (902)416-5922 or by email at [email] if any clarification is needed in this matter. Thank you for your consideration.
Yours sincerely,

Katrina Jacobs
Senior Assistant
Smith Communications
