How to send a mail of sick leave
Here's a general template you can use to send a mail of sick leave:
Subject: Notification of Sick Leave
Dear [Manager's Name],
I am writing to inform you that I will be taking a sick leave from [Date of Leave] to [Date of Return]. Unfortunately, I have fallen ill and am unable to come to work during this period.
Reason for Leave: [State the reason for your leave, e.g. "I have been experiencing [symptoms] and have been advised by my doctor to rest and recover."]
Expected Return Date: I expect to return to work on [Date of Return], pending my recovery and clearance from my doctor.
Contact Information: If any urgent matters arise while I am away, please feel free to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address].
Apologies: I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will do my best to catch up on any missed work as soon as I return.
Sincerely, [Your Name]
Additional Tips:
- Be honest: Be truthful about your reason for taking a sick leave. If you're not feeling well, it's better to be upfront about it rather than making up a false excuse.
- Provide sufficient notice: Try to give your employer as much notice as possible, ideally 24 hours or more, to allow them to make necessary arrangements.
- Keep it concise: Keep your email brief and to the point. Avoid going into too much detail about your illness or symptoms.
- Include your contact information: Make it easy for your employer to reach out to you if they need to by including your phone number and email address.
- Proofread: Double-check your email for spelling and grammar errors before sending it to your employer.
Remember to customize the template to fit your specific situation and needs.
