The Principal,
Madam,
I beg most respectfully to state that on account of an attack of malarial fever I am unable to attend school today. I fear it may take some time to recover completely and I shall not be able to attend school for a few days more.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
I, therefore, pray that you will be kind enough to grant me leave of absence from today till I am fit to attend school.
I remain,
Madam
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Yours most obedient pupil,
