Job Leave Letter for Child's Graduation: Excuse Letter for Graduation Ceremony

Dear Human Resources Manager,

I would like to be excuse this Thursday, May 26. I will not be reporting for work as it is my son's college graduation. I have filed for the proper leave process months before, and I have yet to receive confirmation if my leave dates have been processed. Please do advise soonest - I have been very cooperative and by the book on this, even sending you the graduation invites and details. In fact, I have not even acquired any of the 13 day allowable vacation leaves allotted by the company for the year, and for this very personal reason, I would like to claim or use one of these vacation leaves.

If my leave is not permitted. I'm afraid I will still not be available for work on that date, I am sorry, but I will be there for my son's special day. Please deduct the necessary fees from my wages or inform me asap of any disciplinary measure I am due to face for taking the leave of absence.

Regards,
Roberto

Excuse Letter in Missing Night Shift for Christmas

Dear Supervisor,

I am missing my shift tonight to spend Christmas with my family.
I am filing the proper leaves and my team mate Shelby will fill in for my shift. I will in turn take in the New Year shift for her, if you allow it. I'm sorry if this was such a unprecedented decision, but my mother has really asked me to be home for the holidays- as you know she is very ill and this time is very important in her recovery.

Thank you very much

Merry Christmas
Elaine

Headache Excuse Letter

Dear Siobhan,

I've been having periodic migraine attacks since yesterday, mostly throbbing on my temples. Unfortunately, this is no ordinary headache. The pain is horrid and I'm on analgesics and other strong medications. I will come to work once the pain becomes tolerable. I'm sorry I know the timing is such an inconvenience right now with the deadlines and all. But once I am better I will get things in order.

How to Make an Excuse Letter

Making an excuse letter to get you off the hook should be easy. We usually need excuse letters at school or at work, just to get things officially on the record that for that certain day you were either tardy or absent.

So how does one make an effective or believable excuse letter? By default, your teacher, boss or HR manager are born skeptical. Most excuses are not easy to pass off especially if they are too farfetched. Yeah, what are the odds you got abducted by aliens that day?

So the first rule to keep in mind in making your excuse letter is to be HONEST. That should be plain and simple enough. You're late because the traffic was real bad. Just own up to it! It'll make things easier for you. But alas! Sometimes the truth is just plain terrible and it would reflect badly on your reputation if word ever gets out. Like this tardy and lame excuse -

I was late because I got so drunk last night that I overslept, and spent more time at the doughnut shop trying to get rid of my hangover.

Yeah that will never work out.

So the next step, if you can't get with being honest with your excuse is to state a far more acceptable reason along the lines of the truth.

I'm late today because I really had a bad migraine when I woke up this morning. (re: hangover)

Okay so that will do pig... well, dude, whatever!

Another tip is to have a collection of ready excuses for any occasion.Yeah, sounds a bit pathological, but useful though. In the 90s, Parker Lewis kept his tardy excuses on file on a Rolodex, so a bit of a throwback there, the lesson here is- you can't lose with every excuse you could think of because it can come in handy one day.

Here's a quick list of excuse letters from Letterbarn:

6 Useful Excuse Letters Due to Illness

Excuse Letter to Miss Work the Next Day

Sample Sick Day Excuse Letter


One more thing, never ever go the fabulist's route, tall tales or any other bullshit don't ever work on your bosses or teachers.But if you want a full proof excuse, just go get a doctor's note and complain of a tummy ache then skip work or what not. Also genius, when you use an excuse letter you got off from the Internet, just think about this, how many people are submitting the exact same note? Customize the letter a bit, tweak it in such a way that it does come from you. So goodluck with that!

6 Useful Excuse Letters Due to Illness

We all need a break whether from work or school, but we always need to be accountable for a single missed day. This is expected of us whether it is true or not (Or we face some sort of punishment or disciplinary measure). But sometimes being sick requires formality and an explanation. Hope these sample excuse letters prove useful:

Excuse Letter due to Diarrhea
You can easily bail out from work or school anyday due to really bad bowel movements. This stinky excuse is always valid.

Sample Excuse Letter Due to Menstrual Cramps
The case of the cramps is a common excuse for girls. Duh! this excuse will never work out for boys!

Excuse Letter due to Obscure Illness
This is an excuse letter using some obscure illness or seasonal outbreak, just go with the flow and earn your day of freedom. 

Excuse Letter Due to Fever and Flu
The common cold is the most common excuse in the world.

Excuse Letter for Tooth Pain
We all get toothaches at one time or another and pain can be excruciating. This is an excuse anyone can relate to.

Excuse Letter Due to OutPatient Medical Procedure
Having surgery is an excuse that would most likely get people visiting you at the hospital. Opt for something less severe yet immediate like an outpatient procedure. Out patient procedures are often the following- dental surgery, colonoscopies, mole removal, infected or wound draining procedures.

Excuse Letter for Tooth Pain

Need an excuse? How about a pesky toothache? Or go major with the dental excuse with an impacted molar. Here is a sample letter for your toothache gone periodontal crazy!

To Whom It May Concern,

Kindly excuse my son Alfred Sugar Ray Fuentes for being absent from school the past couple of days. He has been suffering from an impacted molar and the infection has made his gums swollen. I took him to our dentist yesterday and he is now scheduled for oral surgery this coming weekend. He will be back for his classes on Monday.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Janice Fuentes
