Dear ____________,

My son / daughter, _________ in your homeroom class was

absent on ______________ because he caught a severe
cold. Thankfully, his fever has subsided and he has stopped
coughing. I am sending him to school today because he
feels much better and I do not want him to fall behind in his
studies. Please give him all the assignments that he missed,
so that he can work on them when he comes home today.
I have also enclosed a doctors note for your viewing.

Sincerely,
________________
