Dear [Principal's Name],
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally explain my absence from school last week and to respectfully request that I not be punished for missing classes during that time.
Unfortunately, I was unwell due to [briefly explain the nature of your illness, if appropriate, e.g., a severe cold, flu, or other reason]. I felt it was in the best interest of my health, as well as the health of my classmates and teachers, to stay home and recuperate. I understand the importance of attending school and keeping up with assignments, and it pains me to have missed valuable learning opportunities.
I have taken the necessary steps to catch up on what I missed. I have reached out to my classmates for notes and assignments, and I am committed to submitting any outstanding work as soon as possible. I assure you that I take my education seriously, and this absence was not taken lightly.
I kindly ask for your understanding in this matter and hope that you can see that my absence was due to circumstances beyond my control. I would deeply appreciate your consideration in waiving any penalties associated with my absence.
Thank you for your time and understanding. I look forward to returning to school and continuing my studies with renewed focus.
Sincerely,
