Emailing out sick

The classic "I'm not feeling well, can't come to work" email. Here's a sample template you can use as a guide:

Subject: Notification of Absence due to Illness

Dear [Manager's Name],

Unfortunately, I am writing to inform you that I will be unable to come into work today due to illness. I am not feeling well and need to take the day to rest and recover.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will do my best to catch up on any missed work as soon as I am feeling better. If there are any urgent tasks that need my attention in the meantime, please let me know and I will do my best to complete them remotely.

Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to returning to work as soon as possible.

Sincerely, [Your Name]

Some tips to keep in mind:

• Be honest and clear about your reason for absence. Your manager will appreciate the transparency.
• Provide as much notice as possible. If you're able to give your manager a heads up, do so.
• Offer a solution or alternative. In this case, you're offering to catch up on work remotely.
• Keep the tone professional and apologetic. You're not trying to get out of work, you're just not feeling well.

Remember to customize the email to fit your company's culture and your manager's style. And if you're feeling up to it, you can always add a bit of humor to lighten the mood.
