Subject Line: Regarding my absence
Dear Professor X,
I sincerely apologize for missing out on the midterm today. It seems that I was careless with my health yesterday and now I am paying the price. I developed a bit of a fever; nothing too serious but caused me to miss out on classes. I have visited the doctor and received a note from him regarding my health. Because of this unfortunate event, I hope that you would allow me to make up the midterm. I apologize for all the inconvenience I might have brought to you.
From, Greg Min

Dear Professor
I was not in attendance during the distribution of the midterm exam. The reason being my health. I have fallen victim to a severe case of stomach virus. I have to be within five feet of a bathroom at all times, otherwise i might have an accident. I have had a doctor visit my home, and she has written a note concerning my current condition. When I am healthy i would like to request a chance to makeup the midterm i have missed at your convenience. Thank you for your time.
Subject- LIBxxxx Journal 8
Dear Professor x
I’m in your LIBxxxx course and I don’t understand journal 8 that is due this Thursday. I feel the assignment is too vague and I’m not sure whether I’m supposed to write a story of an individual or of the statistics that are provided. Can you please clarify what kind of story I have to write?
Thank you,

Dear Professor _______,
Due to illness, I was not able to attend class today and take the midterm. I had a severe cold which left me feeling fatigued and therefore, I was not in my best condition to take the test. I have received a note from the doctor regarding my health. Is there any way I can make up the midterm and take it on another day? Please let me know. Thank you.

Subject: Homework Difficulty
Dear Professor,
Hello Professor, I have a question on problem number 18. Since we ran out of time
today in class and did not get the chance to discuss taylor series, how are we suppose
to do this homework exercise? This problem is incredibly difficult to solve and I’ve
tried multiple methods but nothing seems to work. I asked my peers for help, but they
also can’t to find the solution. Can the due date for this homework exercise be
extended to friday? Although we did not get to the lesson today, the class enjoyed
the story of how you managed to escape from two grizzly bears during your summer
vacation. Thank you for your time.

Dear Professor,
I was unable to make it to class to take the midterm on ________. However, this absence was not intentional and I do regret my misfortune. I was ill that day and could not attend class. I hope you will be able to allow me to retake the exam. I will provide you with a legitimate doctor’s note at the next class. Please consider this factor and give me a chance to show that I have learned and mastered what you taught us. Thank you!

Subject: Final Semester Grade
Dear Professor,
As you may know I have received the final grade of B- in your class, however, according to the records I have of my assignments I feel I deserve an A as my final grade. I believe their could have been a mistake in your calculations. Can you please contact me back regarding this issue.
Thank You,

Dear Professor,
ooopsieee ! ignore it :X
subject line: grade correct
Dear Professor,
I would like to know why i received a B- because from my own calculations, I feel like i deserve an A. I got a 95 on the first exam and a 96 on the second. I got a 88 on the midterm but my overall test average does not accumulate a B. Also, I do all my homework and i have perfect quiz grades. I am never late or absent to class. I would like to know why i received a B-. Thank you.

Dear Professor jkdshfksjdf,
I sincerely apologize for missing your midterm earlier today. I was very sick and can, upon request, furnish a doctor’s note. Can you email me your office hours and maybe we can discuss this in person?
Thank you,

Subject: midterm makeup
Dear professor ABC,
I apologize wholeheartedly for the absence on the midterm exam date. I guess that’s a fate because I’ve caught the flu the day before exam from my fellow classmate. My fever peaked 102 degree Fahrenheit yesterday. I thought I couldn’t survive anyway, but here I stand and again I say, sorry for the absence last day.
Below is a doctor’s note proving this sickness. Please allow me to retake the test.
Best wishes,
Vincent
