Dear Madam,

ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL AFTER VACATION

I am writing to explain my absence from school since the end of vacation. Unfortunately, I have been unable to return to school as planned due to a medical condition.

As you may remember, I had been experiencing some health issues before the vacation, and during the break, my condition worsened. I have been under the care of my physician, who advised me to take some time off from school to recover fully.

I regret not being able to inform the school earlier, but I was hopeful that I would be able to resume classes soon. However, my condition has not improved as expected, and I am still unable to attend school.

I understand that my absence may have caused inconvenience to the school and my teachers, and I apologize for any disruption this may have caused. I assure you that I am doing everything possible to regain my health and resume my studies as soon as possible.

I would appreciate any support or guidance you may have for me during this time. I am committed to catching up on any missed work and completing all assignments once I am able to return to school.

Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to returning to school soon.

Yours sincerely,

Yaw Boadi.
