Dear Sir,

RE: Reply to Query for Absenteeism from work on(date)

I write in response to a letter of query given to me on (date of receipt). I want to apologize deeply for being absent from work on (date). This was due to ill health which made me unable to come to work for the past two days. My doctor’s reports show that I had to be put on bedrest for some days to aid quick recovery.

Sincerely, I do acknowledge the fact that this is unacceptable and I sincerely apologize for my action. I put a call through to my supervisor and he gave me a day off. However, the day off was not enough as my doctor insisted I took more time to rest because of the effects of drugs given to me. It was really difficult for me to come to the office for this reason.

This I promise will not happen again, and I will do my best possible to make up for time lost by my being absent. Thank you for your support and usual understanding always.

Yours Faithfully,

Terrence Stuart.
