Dear Professor Hinds,
I was unable to attend class today Tuesday November 6th due to a sudden illness. I went to the doctor and he diagnosed it as a severe case of the flu and advised bed rest. I will however be able to attend class this Thursday the 8th and hope to make up the midterm. I will bring the doctor’s note as well as any other pieces of documentation you might need. I appreciate your understanding.
Thank you,
Michael Sheridan
