Dear Professor,
Due to unforeseen circumstances I was unable to attend class all of last week. I came down with a terrible case of bronchitis and spent two weeks in a hospital. Because I missed so many of the assignments I wanted to ask if I could spend this week completing them so that I could give them in and get the credit for them, since I couldn’t do anything about my terrible infection. I do not want to go down a grade because of something I could not control, and I will make sure the assignments are the best that they can be.

Best Regards,
Kseniya Us
