I am terribly sorry to inform you that I am unable to go to school today owingto a severe headache. I enclose a certificate from the doctor who is attendingon me, as she fears it will be two days before I shall be able to resume mystudy. Could you kindly excuse my absence on Monday and Tuesday? Thanks。
