Sample application to school principal for leave

To,

The Principal,

School Name,

Address

Madam.

I respectfully beg to state that since Monday I have been confined to bed with fever. The doctor has diagnosed it to be an attack of malaria and it will take about a week for me to recover from it. I shall, therefore, be obliged if you kindly grant me casual leave of absence for four days from today.

Yours faithfully.
