Subject: Sick Leave Application
Dear Ms. Chan,
I am writing to ask for [a week](請幾耐病假) of sick leave. I broke my left arm accidentally when I was riding a bicycle last Saturday (簡單講點解需要請病假). The doctor asked me to stay at home for the next few days.
I wonder if you could give your consent to my application.
Attached, please find the medical certificate for your reference.
Thank you,
David

Dear Ms. Chan,
I am down with [fever and flu] (染咗咩病) because of which I will not be able to come to the office for at least [3 days] (請幾耐病假). As per my doctor, it is best that I take rest and recover properly before resuming work.
I asked [Katy] (你同事個名) to handle my pending tasks, while I am away. I will be available via email for any urgent needs.
I have also attached the doctor’s note to this email.
Thank you for understanding.
Best Regards,
David

Dear Ms. Chan,
I’m sending this email to inform you that I can’t come to the office today. I’ve been feeling under the weather since last night. I went to the clinic and the doctor said I’ve got [flu](染咗咩病). The prescribed medication will last for [3 days] (請幾耐病假). The doctor asked me to stay home so I can completely recover.
I will be available to answer emails and phone calls if there is anything urgent, however, [Katy] (你同事個名) will help handle my workload during my leave to ensure all deadlines are met.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
Best Regards,
David
