Dear Mr/Ms Jiang
I was unable to come to 1st and 2nd period to the rain yesterday, I was wet and had temperature at night. The doctor adviced me to rest for several days and after my recovery, I will attend school as soon as possible.
I am sincerely sorry about the inconvenience. However, I would like to have your permission. Also, afterwards I would phone you and there's the certificate by the doctor.

An Application For Annual Leave
To: Mr. John Smith, General Manager
From: George Chen, Accounting Department
Date: January 22, 20xx
Subject: Application for annual leave
Dear Mr. Smith，
I would like to apply for an annual leave from January 25th to 31st.
As you may know the Spring Festival is falling on February 1st this year. It's the most important holiday in China and offers the best occasion for family reunion. However, over the past 3 years I missed the reunions due to tight work schedule. Now that I have wrapped up my work for this year, I would like to go back to my hometown to pay filial piety to my parents and help my sole brother prepare his wedding on January 28th.
It's indeed double happiness for my family that I would like to be part of. Coupled with the official holidays for the Spring Festival, I will have two weeks off which will definitely gear me up for better work in the new year. I'm looking forward to your kind answer.
Best regards,
George Chen
