Formal Excuse Letters

Excuse Letter for not Attending Meeting

I am writing this letter to inform you about my excuse of being unable to attend yesterday’s, i.e. 12th April 2019, meeting at 2:00 p.m.

As the meeting was in the headquarter, I left my office at the proper time to reach there at 2:00 p.m. However, in my way, I had an accident. It was not major, but as my head got hit, my colleague recommended an immediate scan. He rushed me to the hospital to ensure there is no internal bleeding. I got free from all the scans and treatment in the evening which is why I could not inform you earlier.

Kindly, accept my excuse for not attending the meeting. I am attaching the relevant documents from the hospital.

Thank you for understanding.

Excuse Letter for not Attending Class

Dear (Principal Name),

I am writing this letter to request you for excusing me for not attending the class from 15th April to 17th April 2019.

On the evening of 14th April 2019, my family heard bad news about my grandmother’s death. As she used to live in ABC town, a faraway place, we had to drive there and stay there for three days. I was saddened by this news as I was very close to her. Because of the shock, I was in, I could not inform any of my friends or the school earlier.

Kindly, accept my excuse for being absent. I will cover the concepts in the coming days that have been taught in my absence.

Thank you for understanding.

Excuse Letter for not Doing Homework

Dear Principal,

This is to inform you about my excuse for not doing homework on 17th June 2019.

On 16th June 2019, my grandfather went to the hospital due to his on-going health issues. I accompanied him and found out that he had to stay in the hospital for a day. As my father and mother were out of town and I was his caretaker, I had to stay with him in the hospital.

After he got discharged in the morning, I dropped him at home and came directly to the school. However, in the whole situation, I was not able to manage to do my homework.

Kindly, accept my excuse and I will complete the homework on the weekend. Thanks for understanding.

Excuse Letter for not Attending an Event

Dear Ms. Watson,

I am writing this excuse letter to inform you about my reason behind not attending the annual function and award ceremony of ABC limited on 19th June 2019.

As you already know, my wife is pregnant and it is her 8th month. When I was getting ready for the function, she felt pains and we had to rush to the hospital. After examination, we found out that it was normal, but as she was feeling weak, I could not leave her alone at home.

Although I was very excited for this function because I was getting an award as well, the circumstances did not allow me to attend it. I hope you will understand my situation and accept my excuse.

Thank you for your support.

Excuse Letter for Foot Injury

Dear Principal,

I am writing this excuse letter to inform you about my foot injury and my inability to attend school from 13th June to 19th June 2019.

On 11th June 2019, I was practicing in our school playground for the upcoming grand football competition, in July 2019, with ABC school. While doing so, I accidentally twisted my right foot and fell on the ground. I did not think that it was a big issue, so I continued playing, as I was not feeling any pain at that time.

When I went home, I felt severe pain in my foot and my mother took me to the hospital. The doctor informed us that the injury is not mild and got worse because I continued to play. He has suggested me few days rest and assured me that if I bedrest, I will be able to play in the tournament.

There is still a month left for the tournament, so I can come back and practice before it. I request you that, kindly, accept my excuse and allow me to take a few days off from 13th to 19th June 2019 and please do not disqualify me from the competition.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Excuse Letter for Work due to Sickness

Dear Mr. Smith,

I am writing this letter to inform you about my excuse for absence from work due to sickness on 12th April 2019.

I went home on 11th April 2019, after work and felt a scratchy throat in the evening. I thought it was not a big issue, so I did not take any medicine for it. When I woke up in the morning of 12th April 2019, I could not even talk. The sound of my voice was so low that only I could hear. Also, I was feeling extreme pain in my throat and the related areas.

My wife suggested that I should rest and take medicine. Due to the sedative effect of the medicine, I slept the whole day, which is why I did not inform you earlier rather, my wife called the HR department.

I hope you would understand my situation and excuse my absence on that day. I will compensate today for the work that was missed yesterday.
