Dear Madam,
While returning home from school yesterday I slipped and hurt my leg rather badly. The doctors suspect a fracture and have advised me complete bed rest. Hence I will be unable to attend school for at least two weeks.
I would be grateful if you would grant me leave for this period.
Thanking you,
Yours obediently,
Nitu Chopra
(Class VI-B)
