yesterdayi received a letter from my parents, who are both over 70, telling methat a big flood took place at my home village, causing serious damageto my house. as the only son of my parents, i should of back to assessthe situation, and help them to get over these difficulties. though icannot stay at home for too long a time, i should at least makearrangements for repair work. i believe my relatives in the village andmy neighbors will also come to help. financially i have nodifficulties.
i will call you at 1:30p.m. or you can call me at any time.
dear mr/ms xxx;
today i'm writing to you to ask for a five-day leave, for i've got cold last night with carlessness.
this morning my mother took me to see the doctor,who told me to stay in bed for some days. so i am very sorry to be absent from
school, especially your interesting lessons. i'll be sure to make up for the missed lessons after i recover from the illness.
yours ever,
xxx.
Dear Ms Wang,
I beg to apply for seven days’ leave /one week’s leave of absence from the 4th to 10th of this month. Because my father is seriously ill now, so I want to return home to see him.
To support my application, I enclose the fax my sister sent. Yours respectfully, Li Fei
