Dear Professor Zhang,
I'm writing to ask for two days' leave. My father just informed me that my mother's ill in hospital and needs surgery tomorrow. So I have to go to the hospital and take care of her, which means I can't attend your class this afternoon. I've asked my classmates to record your class for me. I'll be back the day after tomorrow and will make up the missed class by listening to the tape and take down the notes.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Sincerely yours,
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Li Hua
