To
Mr. Alex Graham,
This is to inform you that I am unable to be present at today’s meeting due to my health problem.
I had already made up the presentation for today's meeting but I suddenly feel ill since yesterday
night. I am unable to manage to turn up today. However, I have sent the soft copy of the
presentation to my team lead and he will be presenting the plan today at the meeting on my
behalf. I will be sending my medical leave mail along with the doctor's prescription by
tomorrow. I will also keep in touch with my team lead and my colleagues to keep a track of all
the important works going on in the office during my leave. I will be joining the office in the
coming week and will take charge. In the meantime, I will keep a regular follow up with my
team.
I am highly apologetic for not being able to be present at today's meeting. Kindly grant me leave
for today and for the upcoming few days.
Thanking you in anticipation

At the request of your boss, send an e-mail message of appreciation to the CEO of your
company (whom you have never seen or met), for deciding that the last Friday of each
month would be casual dress day. (1 or 2 strong paragraphs. The key to writing to higher-
ups is not to be obsequious. ((We generally use another word for that!)))
