Dear Hohn: I am going back to my hometown to join my brother's wedding, so I want to ask for 3 days' leave, I am sorry I can't take your classes from 14th to 16th, I will try my best to learn the lessons well. Thank you! Lucy Dec13th,2009
Dear Hohn (John?), I am writing to apply for your approval to my 3-day absence from class on 2009/12/13-15. This is because I need to go back to my home town on 2009/12/13 to attend my brother's wedding ceremony which will be held the following day. I am sorry for this absence but would be grateful for your appreciation of the need for me to attend this major family event.I shall return to school immediately. Thanks for your understanding. Yours sincerely, Lucy 2009/10/21
