Sample Excuse Letter for Missing Work: Death of a Loved One

-

 Hi, <His/Her Name>!


    I would like to sincerely apologize for my unauthorized absences from <Start Date> to <End Date>. There is no excuse for my negligence, but still, I would like for you to hear my side.


    First off, please know that it was never my intention to disrespect you in any way. Here's my story. Last year, I initially requested to file a LOA for the reason that my family decided to permanently reside in <Province/City/Country>, where, as far as we believe, COVID cases are managed. As a <father/mother/etc>, I want what is best for my <son/daughter/parents>, so even though it's inconvenient, I know it was the right thing to do. I am well aware that my request hasn't been approved, or at least not yet. 


    My <husband/father/etc> passed away on <DATE of death>... And this wasn't and has never been part of the plan. I had to put myself back together, to which I didn't know how. But I know, and I hope you don't mind me sharing this with you, that I have to be strong for my family who depends so much on me. 


    Several issues aroused, such as <example of other external unexpected problems>. You never fail to remind me about my LOA not (or not yet) being approved. I'm sorry, I got stuck in an uncontrollable situation. 


    This isn't me reasoning out. I am aware of the attendance policy. Also, I know that my absences brought a negative impact on my teammates and our company. But please, if there is anything that I can do for you to make this at least my final verbal warning, I commit to work to the best of my ability, as expected of me --- even go beyond.


    Again, I'm sorry and whatever your decision is, I will never take it against you. I know that you also commit to doing your job with due diligence.



Take care,

<Your Name>

My Tonsillectomy Journey

I don't know much about medical stuff, I took up BS ECE in college, and I am currently working as a supervisor in a BPO company. So pardon my innocence in this blog. I'm writing this for the sake of those who will and who are going through the healing process after a tonsillectomy. Hope this helps! I was scheduled to undergo tonsillectomy 10am of March 22nd. According to the doctors I consulted, having tonsillitis of more than twice a year isn’t normal - mine used to be more than twice a MONTH . Also, year after year of my APE in my workplace, I had been told that my tonsils were bigger than normal, which may be the reason why I was snoring and had difficulty in breathing most of the time. Of course, they talked to me in jargon. Don't worry, I would talk in a way easy for someone like me who isn’t good with medical terms understand it better. I had my flexible endoscopy on March 20, Tuesday. A friend, Lian, was with me. It was in Borough just ne...

Submitting to God's Plans

Remember this blog ? I can't help but write about what's next... I met a guy at work when I was in college. I was a working student. I loved him, and it was my heart's choice. Again, I let my heart rule. I was so into him, that I was even willing to leave my family for us. He smokes, he drinks, he didn't want to attend school, and worst thing is he cheated on me. From what I knew, it was only 3 times but it's no longer important. He broke up with me on our 3rd year anniversary. He chose to be with his girl, she was his officemate. My world crashed. For the very first time in my life, I went to a bar and cried over him. I couldn't remember what happened because I got myself so drunk that night. I was with my bestfriend. All I could remember was my brother picked me up, he brought me home and I was crying so hard that night. The next day, nanay brought me to the mall and bought me an mp3 player --- I wanted to have an mp3 player that time. I then realized...
