If you are feeling sick or uncomfortable then you can request your boss for the day off “Dear Sir, I am not feeling well today, I feel like I have a fever and I will be unable to attend my work. I hope I get better tomorrow. So kindly grant me a leave today”.

Tips for Sick Leave Messages

- Keep it Simple: Always keep your message short and to the point, Don’t write lengthy messages.
- Tell the Reason: Mention the reason for taking the leave, and don’t need to write a brief description of your problem.
- Don’t involve others: Send a message directly to your boss, don’t involve colleagues or family members, or friends in the leave-taking process.
- Approval is Important: If you are not getting a reply from your boss then don’t hesitate to call him directly. (But before that wait for at least 1 hour from the time of sending your message)
